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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
