well i had a apex rx6 kit lying around, so i figured i would install it and see how it was. my car was running perfectly fine 2 months ago before i started doing the install. the car has been sitting for the winter and i started the single about 2 weeks ago. anyway got it done today and i fired it up.... blowing some thick oil and has 0 power. it doesnt want to idle at all. it smells of fuel and oil pretty bad. seems to me like the motor is blown but i dont understand how. i started the car before the install and no problems. did the install and now it runs like ****. any ideas of what it could be? maybe something i forgot to connect?

Holy cow man, that one hard problem to diagnose over the net...



Sounds like it could be a bad turbo...blowing tons of oil.



what ECU?



Do a compression test to see about the motor.

will do a compression test tomorrow. it seems more like the motor then the turbo just by the way it runs, idles, and sounds. unless there is an oil vacuum i forgot to connect. i still have the rats nest in, because i thought i might go back to the twins.



btw. the ecu is a power fc tuned for the turbo and 1200cc injectors.



also.. i checked the intercooler pipes and there was no oil so thats another reason i think its not the turbo.

Did you eliminate the rats nest and add the proper block off plates ect... Does the ecu have the proper map? A lot of variables and unlikely the engine is blown if all you did was crank it up.

my guess is you'r flooding your engine with those 1200cc injectors... you probably dont have the injectors set for stock... double check that.



and make sure everything is blocked off and capped properly

what do you mean by the injectors set for stock? i installed the turbo kit, ecu, and injectors at the same time. the ecu was set for the turbo and 1200cc injectors.

can you get a video of it running or cranking. That would help:)

were there any issues with the turbo prior to install..

what size oil feed line are you running to the turbo? did the kit come with a pill?

no problems with the turbo that i know of. no shaft play or anything either.



i am using the oil feed line that came with the kit. i dont know if there are any pills in it...



i will try to get a vid. ill see if my buddy has something i can use.
