Hi guys, I'm doing my first turbo conversation. I have put the turbo plenum on and the ecu because i thought it needed the ecu to run the injectors. Still hasn't sparked. I have checked my spark plugs, coils and everything is correct. I have fuel and the car wants to start. It was running perfectly before I swapped the NA plenum. I do have a few hoses at the back of the engines that are not connected and also one plug at the front isn't connected, I can't find it at all. I am confused as to what I should do. Thanks in advance for any advice!

sounds like a giant airleak.. best block any hoses that could be letting air into the engine that you haven't found a place for. post or email some pictures of the hoses you haven't connected and I might be able to help..

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'll post the pics, would have no idea where to block of anything. Those are probably the only relevant photos I have at the moment, there are a few tiny holes near the intake ontop of the plenum and one tiny hidden one. Blocked them off but still no success. I used the NA fuel regulator and the gold bar that attaches behind the plenum. "Not the fuel rail" Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Doesn't look like your air control valve at the back of the plenum is setup, can't fully see but hoses definitely aren't

I'll defiantly get back to you sometime this week with updated pictures

Gotcha, would you know roughly the size of the hose? Or anything. Also, we have put the hose on the back of the idle air control valve that connects to the gold bar pictured above but perhaps it's not good enough. I didn't get the hose with the turbo kit, it's a pretty rough condition one. Thanks

Thanks So you have put the pipe from the crossover pipe to the aac valve? if it is not tight it will just pop off As for the pipes that run under the inlet manifold from the air regulator the old ones from your n/a manifold should fit? not a %100 sure though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hi mate thanks for the great reply! I'll have to take a look, should fit.

the one near the throttle body can be blocked completely. run a boost guage off it later if you like. you need to hook up the PCV to the rocker cover (front one) The back one runs to the intake pipe between the AFM and turbo A pipe from the carbon cannister can then run to the same place on the intake pipe. one pic shows the FPR vac lines disconnected. failing having the black vacuum tank just copy the N/A config.

As chem says the hose between the IAC valve and the cross over pipe is the culprit. You can block almost everything else up and get away with it but it won't run at all without that hose as it's sucking in air unmetered by the AFM = it's getting way more air than it thinks and not putting enough fuel in. Pretty sure it's a 5/8" hose from memory (could be 3/4"). Edit: just read you had it connected at some time? IAC valve bleed might be set to low for your engine (maybe). There is a screw on the back of the IAC valve, wind it most of the way out and try that.
