new rebuild with FC commander
HELP.
I recently rebuild my engine and made a few modifications. I changed all the seals, FC Commander, GT 35/40 single turbo kit, pettit intercooler. I've tried to start it but I'm unable. I've checked the spark, the spark plugs are damp after turning over the car so I think I'm getting fuel. I've checked the sensors which I think they are all correct. I also checked the compression which didn't make me to happy. the front rotor had about 98 psi and the second rotor had about 80 psi. I don't think that is right. The engine should still run. The only thing that I think that it could be is maybe the timing. The FC commander is controlling everything. I don't know if the FC has the right mapping. I would think it would have the stock settings. I'm totally at wits end. Please help.

Should be alot of help for you in Florida, hook up with a knowledgable 7 owner in your area.
Sounds like its flooding, typical problem. Try fresh plugs and you may need to floor it during cranking to shut off the injectors; partial throttle during cranking will usually flood it so either stay off throttle or bury it. Timing can be checked easily thru the commander, look for maps to compare with here. You can always initialize the commander and go back to its stock map for starting if you suspect the PFC to be the problem. Was your PFC pre-tuned for a single? If not, suggest you adjust the maps for a single before driving under boost/tuning.
