The mystery has been solved, and I’m just ecstatic that It was nothing that I did wrong. In fact, it turned out to be the only part Of the entire engine that I did not do personally. The fucking idiot that keyed my crank pulley keyed it upside down. So, the entire engine is in time properly...

SS is not hooked up. CKP is on correctly and reading RPMs properly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried changing maps to my previous known good map with correct MAF cal, still didn’t start. Also, it is reading proper RPM, which it wouldn’t do if the crank sensor was bad. I also have two known good cam position sensors and neither one had any affect. Not sure how else I can monitor the cam...

On a lighter note, I’ve gotten to the point I can completely replace a HPFP in about 15 minutes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At this point, the only mechanical parts I haven’t replaced are the injectors themselves, which just got serviced. So it MUST be an electrical issue: 1. Something wrong with electrical connection to the spill valve. 2. Something wrong with electrical connection to injectors that’s making them...

No. It doesn't start no matter what we do. Here's what we HAVE done so far: CHECKED compression: 130~ across the board (normal for new engine on my gauge) CHECKED spark: Confirmed spark by grounding now FIVE different ways, including inside the spark plug well itself. CHECKED fuel: Confirmed...

Now that would be funny lol. Did it still register RPM when you cranked? My tuner says it’s fuel pressure related for sure, so today we diagnose the fuel system (FML) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes and yes. When we checked for spark, we checked connected to the battery negative, to the coil pack ground itself, to the PMM ground strap, and to the head itself. All locations fired. As for the relay, you are referring to the ballast? Yes, that’s plugged in, too. Sent from my iPhone...

Here are 2 log files of the no start cranking. Log 1 is normal log. Log 2 is basically voltage and fuel info. Bear in mind when we started cranking, the battery was fully charged and at 12.8v so by the second log, the battery had been drained a bit. The only thing that stands out as odd is the...

I’ve hit the point of frustration, so at this point I call on anyone who might read this and has any foggy idea wtf is going on to chime in. We tested compression and all cylinders are right around 130, which is normal for my compression gauge. Air is confirmed to not be the issue. There’s gas...

Initial diagnosis was wrong. It’s getting spark. It seems there is an issue somewhere in the fuel system. In tank pump primes and fuel pressure is normal with key on. Cranking it with gas pedal to the floor fuel pressure rises to around 700~800 PSI and holds, even after turning off the key. But...

It moves. It’s sitting around 200RPM. The needle is just hard to see in the video. You can see it drop when I turn the key off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got my tune! Primed fuel pump, fuel OK. Primed oil pump, oil pressure OK. Go to crank it, starter spins like a champ, crank turns with no problem, fuel and compression OK. No spark. Checked all the grounds and basic fuses, swapped ignition harness just to reset the ground, still no spark. Looks...

Since I’m still waiting on my tune, I took the extra time to fully check over and adjust my suspension and fix some issues I had with the way my camber arms were set up. Also changed brake fluid, bled the clutch line, made sure all the connections are connected, filled it up with coolant and...

Still comes with the backing plate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With thread locker and the backing plate it should be fine. My only concern is the removal of a trans stud and putting in a bolt. That stud was fucking ridiculously hard to get out and the bolt didn’t like to go in without force. I’m more concerned with that bolt ripping out of the aluminum...

Got the gauge wiring through the firewall, got the A pillar triple gauge pod installed, got everything wired up. Everything electrical and mechanical is now done. All I’m waiting for now is my tune. She fires as soon as I get it. I’m excited! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a day... Started off realizing I didn’t have anything to plug the injector ports with while I sort out a few things on the final PI setup. Just about got heat stroke in 100 degree weather roaming around in a junkyard searching for injectors that would fit. Finally got lucky and found a...

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures today...but I can chronicle my build progress. I was waiting for my injectors to come, so we couldn't get the front of the engine together, but we did get the axles in, suspension torqued back down, got the turbo and TIP bolted up, the main harness is all wired...
