Hey everyone

About a week ago i tried starting my car a couple of times, it wouldnt start. I realised it had no fuel :) , so i put 10 litres in

and tried starting it again. Nothing, the gauge read there was a decent amount of fuel but it didn't start.

The engine cranks but it doesn't fire.

I jump started it and it didn't start.

The engine is definitely getting fuel.

The injectors are working - used crank angle sensor to check.

And there is spark

Im running a wolf v500 ecu i swapped it with the stock one and still didn't start, i used consult but consult wouldn't turn on????

What could be the problem??

The engine cranks but it doesn't fire?? Could it be a CAS related problem?

Could i have damaged something trying to start it with no fuel?

If your sure you have a good spark and fuel getting to the cylinders then perhaps its IGN timing? I would have thought it would still cough and splutter. What was done to the car up until the time it wouldnt start?

we checked the fuel and its defiantly pumping into the fuel rail, then we checked the injectors by pulling the CAS out and spinning it and the injectors were ticking fine but im not 100% sure if they are working while cranking.

we pulled the first plug, it had a fair bit of carbon on it but was still sparking fine, do you think it might be worth checking the rest?

as far as i know the car was parked and nothing touched, but it was running on low fuel lvl's for a while not that it should matter?

im thinking maybe the fuel is bad but still i'd expect it to start.

it was interesting that we couldn't get the consult to work, so it may well be an electrical/ECU problem?

Having run out of fuel, you may have picked up a heap of crap which is restricting flow through the filter. You may not be getting sufficient fuel pressure to provide enough fuel to start.

What does the Wolf say while trying to start (injector time, ignition timing, etc)?

I didnt check the fuel filter, but the battery is reading 9.9V and when i jump start it the battery only goes to 12.0V

Ignition was 30.6

and Injection was 24.88

thats with the key at ignition

When i try starting it the wolf hand controller turns off.

thanks

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
