Yeah it fired up but had a bad missfire let it get warm and a couple revs cleared the miss fires. it is getting mapped on the road by a guy called duncan and then up to rodger clarke for a map check on the dyno and a print out for proof of POWER. vids will be posted but do i start a new thread and do a full post on our stages with pics. and a massive thanks to @Tlag

all good now re timed and tgv temp fitted and fired up did have a miss fire o 2 then 4 but all cleard up.

yeah i see what your saying. we have had the car running before all these mods with the same new belt which is a denso. just putting it back on now

well i checked all the timing marks and the double lines do not line up 100% there a tad out so iv decided to remove and refit the belt again but this will be my 3rd time doing so and it looked the same as last time. also when the belt was put back on before the engine was put back in i turned it over 4 time and they all came back to alignment. when all back together i will try again then if nothing i will check the fuel when cranking. the fuel pump is a new Rodgerclark Motorsport up rated pump

i did unplug the input fuel line and turned ignition on and primed fuel into a pot and there was a fair bit about 100ml. but not cranking it should i try that

iv now got rid of the fault codes by resetting the tgv so now have no codes up. but has not made a difference iv just checked the timing and left side cams line up and the right hand side cams line up. i will now remove the pulley to check the crank mark is good. i did look online at fuel line pics to check to make sure it was ok and there the same as the pictures iv been looking at.

@Tlag cheers The car being version7 bugeye ej205 it has the individual coil pack that plugs on to each spark plug so no ht leads. just checked the injector plugs and spot on lighter at front darker at back. the injector plugs can not be stretched to be put on wrong so must be right. as we have upgraded from the wrx blue injectors to the sti 550cc pink ones will it start with them. it does have 2 fault codes now and they are p1086 p1088 tgv valves (tumbler valves) we are using sti mani that has the delete kit. i have plugged the valve and tgv kit into the loom and is loose in the engine bay but stiil has those codes. will it start with these codes

Yeah if you could let him no about the post would be of much help. i am looking into it again today to see if i can find the cause it isso close to firing up. need it running asap for the remap aswell. cheers

@Gambit Thanks for the welcome yes my bro had a good idea on what he wanted from a subie and wanted a little more . me being the mechanic and enthusiast sort of got him into it and decided to do a sort of stage one upgrade just a shame we cant find out how to get it going . i will be having another look at it tomoz

Hi we are new to the forum and are looking for a bit of help. my bro (rob) has a 2001 bugeye 2.0t and we just made a few purchases and done a small rebuild. new mods... .New vf34 turbo from rodgerclark .up rated rodgerclark fuel pump .sti top mount intercooler .k&n typhoon air filter .sti pink injectors .sti manifold with tgv (tumblers) delete .exedy organic clutch and sreet flywheel from rodgerclark. .ngk iridium plugs .samco intake hose. .prosport boost gauge .rodgerclarke uprated head studs and nuts with 0.78 thick head gaskets think this is correct thickness. For the rebuild we took the engine out and took the heads of cleaned all surfaces installed studs and put heads back on and torqued to speck. got the cams in and all timed up then refitted engine once all in we installed the sti mani with pink injectors and went from there. got it all ready to fire up and turns over fine but will not start it sounds like its firing as it has a exhaust note similar to running note. we primed it a few times ignition on and of but nothing checked the coil pack and the coil pack leads that plug on and all ok. from looking at front of the car turbo to left the firing order is 1 3...2 4 higher numbers at back. still wont have it so plugged in code reader and gave a load of tgv (tumbler valve codes) p1094 p1096 p1086 p1088 p1086 p1088. checked it has fuel and spark and does but still nothing and we drained the battery trying different things. we have just plugged the tgv switches into the loom and now is loose in the engine bay but still bringing up the codes. we are not using the sti wiring loom that is usual attached to the mani we are using his old loom. the idea was to get it running and drive off boost till we get a remap in a week. so if anyone has and answers as to why it wont start it would be very appreciated. we could do with the help cheers luke and rob pics to come when running
