Hey there guys,

im new to all this so please bear with me...

i just bought an r32 gtst which i plan on modifying etc.. however after taking the motor out, i decided to put it back in and drive it around for a while because im selling my daily driver to get a car through work.. anyway...

i have put the engine back in BUT for some reason the car will start and then die pretty much straight away.. the only thing i have done differently then stock is mounting the battery in the boot.

starting the car i can rev it to about 1000 rpm while it shudders and splutters and carries on until i release the accelerator and then it just dies. i have noticed something else and that is i managed to get it to rev to 3000 and the boost gauge went into vac instead of pressureising. im at a loss as to what it is, i made sure that all the intercooler piping was clear and that the earth was good to the engine but for some reason the bloody car just wont run properly.. has any one got any suggestions as to what i should try?

thank you for any help

Yes, it is very difficult to build any kind of boost in neutral as the engine is under no load.

One of the common things people do, is put the fuel lines on backwards.

Hey guys,

yea i checked the fuel lines, reversed them and when i did that it woudlnt start at all. i have also checked the afm already which i unplugged then tried to start the car and it didnt make any difference.

question, if the car is only running on 2 cylinders will that make it do everything i mentioned? i suspect that maybe a couple of the injectors r blocked up. does anyone have any stock items that i can buy off them?

thanks for clearing up the boost problem, i didnt even think about the engine not having any load on it.

thanks for your help guys

Hey guys,

it turns out that one of my injectors isnt firing and my afm is gone! i can start the car without it plugged in and it runs a little rough but nothing compared to what was happening. in any case i plugged it back in while it was running and it just died.

thanks for your help!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
