[D16TurboRI]

Figured I would make a Thread to see what other people experienced and have found for solutions in my predicament.

Heres the Deal:

I bought a 97 Honda Civic Ex with the D16Y8 Ran awesome, drove it for a few weeks. No issues. Has aftermarket Viper Alarm (which i'm not a fan of)

I pulled in the car into the garage, Pulled off the Exhaust manifold, Bolted turbo manifold on, turbo, intercooler piping, oil lines, vacuum lines etc. Didn't replace any sensors. I have not put any aftermarket ECU, no tuning has been done to the car. All I have done is bolted on a turbo kit and pulled it out of the garage. I have a new cap and rotor. I have spark, fuel (can smell it), New NGK plugs with a heat range of 7.

I can crank this car over all day and I can't get any start at all. I can get some pop out of the exhuast sometimes.

I also replaced the timing belt and had 2-3 people verify the timing is on point.

Seeing if anyone has an idea of why this car wont start...:uh:

Thanks

Dizzy timing off,firing order wrong....

Yea, make sure you have the firing order correct. I've been there done that and felt like a complete dick when I figured it out. Make sure you have the correct plug wires in the correct cylinders.

x2 firing order

 

[v8killaz]

firing order, its embarrassing but i have done it before.
also check check check fuel spark, timing though

1 firing order.
2 you need to check for compression.
3 if you pulled the dizzy off, make sure you put it back on right. It should only go one way, but ive seen where some one shoved it back in, thus breaking the cam.

yes it happened with me last week. turned out that the dizzy went bad. it was making spark but the car wasnt starting. replaced it and redid the dizzy timing and the car started.

dizzy key position could be out by 180 degrees...

happened to me when i pull the dizzy out for repairs...

i advanced the dizzy to the max position, tried starting it almost started...flipped it around and 1 click , it started..

the dizzy will only fit on the cam in the right position ( you still have to adjust ignition timing) but you CAN NOT install 180 degrees off without some major force.
