R33 Wont Turn Over

Hey all

This will be every detail leading up to this crap situation.

First the car has a mongoose mx40 alarm in it with a window lifter kit along side it.

The window lifter module WAS in the drivers door but came off its mount and got jammed in the scissor mechanism of the window. This created the first problem of ruining it and stopping the passanger window from operating.

To remedy that situation i have removed the module and wired up the windows as they originally were. The windows now work fine along with everything else in the car except the engine wont turn over with the key.

All red lights come on at the ignition position but when the key is turned to start an extra light comes on, the exhaust temp warning light. I cant remember if this is normal or not. The exhaust isnt hot so that cant be the problem anyway.

My driveway is a downward slope so i can clutch start out no worries and the car runs perfectly until i turn it off. I can still arm the alarm which will lock the car etc. All normal.

I'm lost, I've checked every fuse, every relay i know of and nothing.

Ive even tried to incorporate the window lifter modules power and ground wires back into the alarm to see if that circuit needs to be complete, but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Yeah was definately a backyard jobby. I'm thinkin my only way out is as you suggested. Twist and tape isnt the way the car gods intended. I could do a better job in my sleep.

I have a full day ahead of me. Beyond me which fuse blew but startin from scratch will help me find it.

Thanks man.

Ok after unravelling about 400km of electrical tape i found a plug undone right near the alarm module. It must never have been connected very well because the wires i was removing for the window lifter kit were no where near it.

Dodgy, ive now gone over all the connections again and its 100% better than before.

Yeah it runs. Strange that everything in the car worked including the alarm but the one plug to not be securely connected in the alarm loom was ignition releated. Just one of those things.

Lucky.

I agree with Chris on this one, window closer modules in doors are done by lazy installers.

Do your red's stay on while cranking?

Can you here the fuel pump prime?

Is your starter solonoid sticky?

Can you here the starter relay clicking?

Check all fuses and fusable links.

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
