Redtop: beams redtop turbo

Make sure at the base infront of the oil pump you have the timing belt plate .
Its about one inch with a bolt holding it.
The sender has 2 bolts and holds it in the right position.
The cable then has a couple of metal clamps that hold it near the block so it doesnt foul on anything.
Soory no pic

does that look right to you guys ??????

Yep now there should be another clip holding the wire to the pump body then the wire clips into the bottom cam belt cover

[oldsoul45]

right so got the rebuilt engine in and connected up...started it up and only the middle two pots are firing..... all have fuel and spark,now the compression on all the pots is spot on and although In thought I'd got the timing right I'm thinking it could be the fault...normally the engine would have bent some valves if that was the case but that not happened...maybe the forged pistons have made it non-interference ?? so scratching my head here any thoughts guys ??

have you confirmed "spark" ? I had a mate fuss over an engine gremlin too, he had "spark" but the thing was when the COP was plugged onto the spark plug in the engine head it would seat badly.
You didn't mess up the cam angle by any chance? The entire wiring is left untouched?

[MANDALAY]

WAIT, HOLD ON FOR A MINUTE.
Last post you asked about the crank angle sensor now you have started the engine ?
Where are the rest of the pics and posts ?
What ECU are you running ? Is the firing sequence correct ?
Did you take the leads off the coils and crank it first ?
Are you saying only cylinders 2,3 are firing ?
I reckon you havent put the timing belt on correctly stands to reason, Did you have cylinder 1 at TDC when you put the timing belt on ?

[oldsoul45]

think I'm looking at a timing issue,did set up the timing using the timing marks.
no problems with fuel or spark on any cylinder .still one or two things I'd like to try but in any case I'm going to have a look at the timing in the next few days.
have some piccies to post up
anyone got a diagram of the wiring that's on the plug that connects under the fusebox part of the loom ??

[MANDALAY]

Are you positive that you have spark ? and fuel ?
Main reason.
Next compression test and see if you have a leak , open the engine oil filler and listen for any sound.
Was told today timing will not be the reason.
What ECU have you installed ?

deffo got spark and fuel....using the standard ecu at the moment...going up to my unit later so will have another look

..............

right just got back from the unit...sprayed some easystart in the TB and now have three cylinders firing so I would guess I have loss of vacuum somehow on the inlet manifold....compression tested all cylinders and it's perfect

cheers

You check that little rubber grommit between runners 4 and 3 hasnt blown off

went up there today to pick some gear up and had a quick look but can't see this grommit you talk of

cheers

[MANDALAY]

Look at the thread
Another RedTop BEAMS 3S owner....What!?!...a 4th gen Celica!?
under Beams Owners Group
Post 13 and you will see the pic with the grommit.
As i said i used it for my vacuum source for my MAP. Also pictured if an OEM TURBO fiter for that line.

[oldsoul45]

bugger......don't remember seeing that...thanks next time I'm up there I'll check it out
.................................................
no not got one of those on both the beams I have.......anyway it's now running ok think there was an air leak on the manifold
on the big rubber spacer,got to set the regulator and catch can up, I'm away for a few days so will sort it and get some pics up when I get back

[oldsoul45]

.btw anyone got a diagram of the EA1

Thats in the kick panel ?
Didnt touch that one.
However the beams body loom did run the Fuel pump wire , air con, air con amp to the kick panel where as my body loom jointed those lines on the fire wall and ran them down the center consok.
Dont have a drawing showing it .
What do you need to know ?

[oldsoul45]

This is the dude I'm after




cheers

Ah crap I don't have that one handy. The boys over at CelicaTech do....infact njccmd2002 posted about it in CelicaTech, he recently dealt with that plug in his RedTop swap, would be a great idea to rattle his brains about it.
