Hey guys, first time poster, could really use some help, 

Spent some time doing this setup on my mates 34, one major thing was to keep all the stock stuff functionable an to fit with the aftermarket parts, (merely wanted a clean engine bay) 

Its come time to start it, but won't start....

I didn't use the stock TB, I put on the 88mm the plenum came with an wired up a raceworks TPS sensor, 

I have spark, I have injector pulse, could the elimination of the stock throttle body stop it from starting? 

Thanks in advance

Got fuel aswell. 

Doesn't have traction control, but yeah running stock ecu harness etc, just aftermarket bolt ons, 

Is nistune the only option? 

Not really fussed about an engine light at the moment just want to get it running

The standard ECU thinks that there should be a TCS/ABS ECU present. If there is not, there will be fault codes.

The TCS/ABS CU, if it is present, will be freaking out because you have lopped off its throttle motor and position sensor. There will also be ECU fault codes because of this.

Nistune is the only way to make a standard ECU work nicely under this level of abuse. The Neo ECU is fairly obsessive compulsive about a few things.

How big is that turbo? What ECU are you planning to run it with?

You say you have no ignition light...is  the starter turning the engine?

Engine turns over an everything performs as it should (minus the deleted TB) just doesn't start.

Its a gt35/40, now decided to go aftermarket ecu an loom, only made this post to see if anyone had a possible way to get the car to run an drive as it was with the factory ecu.

The car should run, unless you have done something weird.not well but should run. You sure you wired that  tps correctly

Thats what I would have thaught, should atleast start an run, an yeah I double checked the tps wiring, have the voltage aswell, 

Only thing that isn't hooked up is the original TB

And that is not going to work anyway, that is a switch not a sensor

Try plugging in old tps and traction control throttle body and see what happens. Trying random piggy backs is not going to help you.

 

 

 

Also what's the status of the iac set up?  Did that also fall victim the plan of having a "clean engine bay"

I tried plugging the old throttle body back in before doing the ecu, an it didn't do anything, no noise no movements no starting,

The hks was only put in to try simply cause I was being told that removing the throttle body an its components will cause the ecu to freak out, think it was mentioned in an earlier post too, 

An the Iac is still there an functionable

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
