Ok but why would I have this problem now if it ran better and actually drive when I got it? Yes my ecu is tuned for 555cc injectors and z32 maf

I feel as if my timing is off maybe I'd like input on that. Why would I have exhaust leak if I was fine before? My dizzy is turned all the way clock wise. I think that's wrong ? Idk I did tdc on compression and all that. Check my dizzy pics see if they look ok. Idk. Could timing make my car not rev and not give enough air or pressure or whatever to the exhaust side? My turbo gets super hot after a 1min idle. Te exhaust part of the turbo.

I'm not saying you guys are wrong but the car drive and reved before I installed the maf injectors and moved my mad to blow trough. Intake side.

For your turbo, that would make sense that it gets super hot at idle when it's not spinning, the exhaust is working under a lot of back pressure because the turbine is not spinning and the heat is absorbed by the exhaust housing. I would suggest taking off the turbo and checking the gaskets to make sure that they are working correctly and that all the gases are actually going through the turbo. At least try spinning the turbine by hand and see if it feels stuck. Good luck

It's spins fine by hand. Like I said before I moved the mad and wired it and put the new injectors and ecu it drove fine with the stock stuff and revved fine. Would my maf keep my turbo from spinning. When I rev before it died the turbo spins fine. But yeah I agree something has to be wrong since it gets real hot. Ughhhhh lol this is confusing

Would my fpr have something to do with it??? 555cc injectors with the stock fpr

Also should my car shut off when I plug in the maf?? Or is that bad. I unplug it when the car is on and go to plug it in and it turns off .....

well first things first we need to figure out the turbo problem because regardless of the dying problem your turbo isnt even spinning so gases arn't moving, so even if the motor was running fine it wouldnt be able to breathe. take a look at picture #7 of the first set you posted. dont know if its a multiple flange manifold or something but that doesnt not look right at all. Definitely looks like you used a turbo and manifold with different flanges. Almost looks like your turbo obviously didnt fit the manifold so it was welding on there lol whats going on in there haha

and i dont know for sure but moving the maf from pull to blow thru may have thrown it out of wack or the maf could have just went out. once you have your turbo spinning and not cooking like a hot plate find someone whom you know has a working z32 maf and swap it for yours to see if anything happes because the way you are describing the maf and spark relationships right now sound like its a bad maf

as for your distributor, setting it pretty mcuh full retard isnt necessarily the best route to go about relating your timing for boost but its a general place to start so it wouldnt be fucking you this much lol. once your turbo spins healthy and all if you really feel like you want to, set it back in like 1/8th inch or less increments closer to the middle, do a pull, analyze results and decide what needs to happen from there.

on a side not feel bad for you man. looking at a brand new build always sucks when things arn't going smoothly, i know those feels lol the final product will be worth it in the end though of course

Ok suit not sure if I told you but the car drove good with the stock stuff having a turbo on it. And it spins fast when I rev just the teeniest bit but stalls and bogs. I see the turbo spin. Just not at idle barely. So you are saying it's only spinning a little at idle cause my manifold Is the wrong fitment? And maybe I can't rev cause my maf is bad correct? That's what I'm thinking but I've also heard timing will also cause your car to bog and not rev. I'm out of commission now so I have to take it somewhere. Tell me what I need to have looked at. I bought the car like this. But installed the injectors. Maf and ecu myself. Since I didn't books it what should I get checked on to prevent future problems and fixing my current ones. Imma take it to a place so I wanna write it down so I can get it done thanks!! I got school Monday. This sucks. Can't wait to graduate lol

So your car was running completely fine before you installed the ecu injectors and moved the maf? like I said before the maf may be reading incorrectly now it is a blow through setup instead of pull through but that's the last thing I would want to say because I don't know for sure if it would disrupt the maf readings, just a thought. maybe it was a shitty tune on the ecu you got? was it one of the deals where you told the dudes your motor and upgrades and shit and they made you a tune for it and sent you an ecu? you can take your injectors and get them flow tested but I don't think they are your problem I think you have a bad tune to be honest. you should sell the enthalpy mail in ecu deal and pick up a apexi s afc 2 and s itc since your not shooting for insance numbers, put the stock ecu in with those and tune it, or if your willing switch to a standalone and retune with a local tuner. I feel like the computer controlled timing is fucked on your ecu since it was a premade tune not live. I could still be wrong about all this though just really seems at this point your ecu has a shitty tune on it.

so here is my word of advice. Try 3 things, flow test your injectors see if they are still good, try another known to be good maf and put in place of yours see if anything happens, and if nothing still happens with a good maf as a blow through, put it back in front of the turbo as a pull through and see if anything happens. if you do all that and everything checks out, I would ditch the enthalpy man. since the car ran fine before it can only be the things you have changed from that time until now as someone earlier mentioned

as for this not necessarily but it still just doesn't look right at all haha the flanges on the exhaust housing and the exhaust manifold should be the same dimensions with the same placed holes i.e. the same flange lol your manifold flange is a lot bigger than the turbo flange thats all lol
