Did you verify you are getting spark? Fuel? You can pull a plug wire and arc it to a screw driver to check spark. Fuel should easy to check, if the injector is passing fuel you'll smell it because it's not burning. Is the fuel system stock or recirculated? New fuel pump?
I think it's probably a basic mechanic problem rather than a custom turbo kit problem, check the easy stuff first.

Are you comfortable with the intercooler blocking a good portion of the radiator? Your motor is going to be making more heat soon...
Otherwise, nice build, can't wait to see some numbers posted...

Sorry lol
I was not going to do the coating but after it ran for about 10 min without even going over half throttle the engine bay was blazing hot. I couldn't hold the hood cause it was so hot so I had to do it. It'll be back up on the dyno Tuesday next week (May 29th) which is when the manifold, turbo and downpipe are back. I'll be better on the info and pics part but working a lot to pay for the modding lol

The crank sensor was backwards I guess? Thats what the tech firgured. No damage done. It fired up and sound great 
I wanted the coating cause honestly it'll up the "showmanship" of the car and anything helps to keep those temps down. After seein that post of the Motec 400 standalone.... I'm gettin curious

glad to see it's coming along. I still think the intercooler position could compromise the radiator effectiveness, though.
In case you're interested, Twins Turbo will be offering the C & R radiator I'm using, it has a 2200 cfm fan, and I'm running 160 degrees even at the racetrack, never over 180. Pretty nice insurance for your hefty investment.

Whats the cost on that radiator? Right in between the intercooler and radiator there is two 12(i think thats the size) electric fans to help with air flow. I hope the intercooler doesnt pose a problem cause that would suck so much. The guy who built the kit says it won't be a problem.... we'll see

I have some pricing on the C+R radiators with Spall fan set up but im not sure if I can post them here without causing problems. They are not "Cheap" but then I don't know anyone who would upgrade there radiator just for the look without the performance. as many of you know C+R is the #1 radiator in NASCAR and the finest made in the USA. the Spall fan is OEM on Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, ECT. and if any of you have been following Christian Rados Time Attack TC, you will see the Radiator we are talking about being tested on a race track. We will not sell anything that will not perform at the track. If anyone is interested my e-mail is info@twinsturbo.com . we have not put the radiators on our website yet, I will try to have it up by next week. Thanks for the intrest..and Garms car is pretty cool hu..
