Talk to me about turbo rebuilding/replacement
Mine are smoking lightly after decatting. Its a pisser but thats life. Ive been given 2 quotes to rebuild one of 190 a side the other over 300 a side. The cheaper being from turbo dynamics. I know I can rebuild myself and get them balanced, the balancing is around 60. So whats my options and whats the deal with 360 bearings? And should I even bother doing a rebuild or would an upgrade be within budget, and worth doing. I onl yh want about 350 to 400 usable horses. My budjet is a max of 600 for a complete job. With the block out il be able to deal with those pesky rocker seals. And renew the turbo oil lines. So lets discuss.

as above, firstly if your sure there a spark. fire the car up and let it run, then get a long screw driver and place the shaft on the injector itself you should hear a loud clicking through the screwdriver which should be a uniform noise to all the others. if its clicking away happy as larry then turn the engine off and pop off the injector plug. you will see inside two little prongs check these are clean, clean with electrical switch cleaner if necessary. once clean, set the multimeter to ohms it looks like a horse shoe. by placing the multimeter on each prong you will get a resistance, it should be 10 to 14 ohms i believe with around 12.4 being stock resistance. if you get a reading out of this range shes fubar! theres plenty of youtube vids to show you aswel. pictures worth a thousand words and all.

No power and car not starting!!!
the battery is still charged? do you get any lights on the dash or is it just blank? you have a small group of 5 or so fuses next to the brake master cylinder, a large one that has a blue wire on it is the battery fuse. if you get lights and turn the key can hear the fuel pump prime but the starter doesnt kick in, im guessing youve forgotten to reconnect the two cables.

do swb decats/front pipes fit a LWB?
i couldnt say for certain but the car is only different at the rear, so the mid of the car backwards. so i would expect them to be differnt only in the cat back section of things.

Engine misfire/cylinder not firing...Advice needed please
Youd be best of replacing the loom. Happens regualry with the heat and age. You could try slicing in new injector and coil pack connectotorzs but a new loom would be best.

Anybody know this car?
dont know it. its had some cash spent on it the seats have been retrimed a nice thing to have, but it is an auto non turbo whicgh isnt cool. non turbo manuals are greta little cars but as an auto it jut ruins the reason why an na is fun. anyways. there is also soem trim missing in the boot for the abs bits, to fit a sub and amp and the spoiler has been satin blacked rather than actually colour coded, i assume for laziness or cost implications. rings alarum bells of previous chav ownership to me. hold out for something better i say. i wouldnt pay 2k for that.
