Awesome. I was going to change fuel filter anyways. But you recon take fuel line off from front of the fuel rail? How much petrol should I put in to flush it out?

Run through what is in the tank first. Then add a smallish amount and run that through, then repeat. No point adding good fuel to bad in a 50/50 mix and then running half of it through leaving a 50/50 mix of old and new behind.

Keep in mind though that running a tank to the bottom can and will pick up crap from the bottom of the tank, pulling it through the pump (which might not appreciate it) and definitely putting it in the fuel filter. So don't change the filter first, and be careful about how low yo run the tank. It can of course be hard to know how much fuel is actually in the tank!

Just rereading your original post and you said you connected the battery the wrong way. I would get that ECU checked to make sure you didn't fry anything inside when you through voltage up the wrong way considering your lack of spark.

Also I would pin out the coil pack loom and make sure the coils that aren't firing are actually getting power from the ECU.

so i just did a compression test..not looking so good. i dont know exactly what this means but i cant imagine it being good that a few of the cylinders have low compression.im hoping i just didnt put the gauge in properly but im fairly sure it was in properly each time but not 100% positive.didnt have time to retest them all since it was getting too dark. but i put the new spark plugs in. didnt get a chance to test the fuel side yet..of theirs any point now :/

should mention that i haven't changed oil or the oil filter yet. could this cause lower compression ? im guessing it wouldnt make a difference.

google time !!

hrrm im hoping nothing to major. im just reading a few things on google. someone said to put a tea spoon of oil into the spark plug hole of the cylinder with low compression and redo the compression test and if its higher it means the rings are worn out and if it doesnt go higher then its the valves. least thats what im getting from what im reading. i'll redo the cylinders that had low compression tomorrow in the morning.first normal then with a bit of oil in it

yeah i noticed it was the ones next to each other. would that mean head gasket was stuffed before i got it ? or just from sitting ? i;ll be pissed if thats how the guy sold it me

lol - must have been typing at the same time.

answer is yes it could be the HG between the 2 low cylinders

ah now I see GTSboy is on the case above yours

somewhat freaking out lol. not giving up yet. worth getting a new head gasket? should i try the oil in the spark plug hole first or not bother and get a head gasket

Head gasket is easy fix but not so much if you don't know what your doing. It's a lot of work but not a lot of cost [emoji41]

Find a decent workshop nearby and get a quote to change it for you.

yeah i dont think i would risk doing that part myself.i've seen it done years and years ago but dont want too stuff it up. i might start googling it and watching some videos and then i'll decide if im capable of doing it on my own lol i'm hoping my cousin will come down with his g/f who's an apprentice mechanic. they're both into the nissans but not sure on their skill level. cant be worse then me though lol i'll get onto him though.looking for a head gasket now. any recommendations ?

yeah i think i;ll do the oil in the spark plug test and see if it raises.if not then i;ll look into maybe getting head gasket. if it does rise after putting oil in the hole what would i be looking to do next ? throw it out ? lol

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • 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?
