ok i just got done installing my JDM 91 TurboII. i was told by dave at speedmachine to use my complete s4 TurboII harness, S4 Injectors and ECU and full manifolds. i did this and everything is wired up. of coarse there are some plugs taht had no place to go anymore cuz of emission stuff not being on this new motor. anways the car cranks and cranks and just spits white smoke everywhere. it just wont kick over. i dont know if my wiring is wrong or what. if anyone can help id really appreciate it. thanks

p.s. im only 16 turning 17 on the 13 of october so bare with me please. i mean how many 16 year olds do you know that can do a complete TII swap in a few days? not braggin or anything but its just im learning as much as i can and i really want to learn more

 

have you done a search on the 2nd gen board? id come to help but i'd start by doing the same thing and coming up with a few possible directions to check. never had what you are explaining happen to me before.
where you at?

 

did you do a comprestion test before you swaped in the Jspec?White smoke usually means coolant being turned to steam inside the motor. Check the plugs, and also the TPS . It might just be flooding itself. Start there and let us know!!!Get a few new sets of plugs cuz you will kill them in a hurry while you try to get it right. Good luck youngin I didn't get my first rex till I was 22!

 

ok heres the deal. the white smoke is definetly fuel being burnt. i think i might have gotten my injector plugs mixed up with the primaries and secondaries. is there any way to tell which plug goes to what? my friend who doesn't know anything about rx7's but knows alot about motors said that if my plugs are mixed up then i could be dumping fuel while trying to get it to start. oh and i have a fuel cut off switch and i try cranking it for about 10 seconds to burn out any fuel that might be there and flip the switch on the motor starts bogging like it trying to start but its being restricted. i really think it might be my injector plugs so if anyone has any way to tell which plug goes to what id really appreciate it. ill be sure to mark them when i find the right ones

 

Did you set the base timing on the engine to make sure it is right? Also, pull the plugs and see if they are wet with fuel. If so, clean them off or install a new set. Before putting in new ones, pull the EGI fuse, and crank over the engine to get rid of excess fuel in the engine. Put in the new plugs and give it a try.

 

i dont know if you remember me or not dave but i was the one who showed up randomly (sorry about that) and asked about the diff mount. you started your FC for me and i was supposed to give you my S5 bumper for that s4 sitting on the flat bed trailer. it was about a month ago. it was me and 2 friends.

P.S. nice fuccin job on the FD roll cage.
