priming oil pump
 

ok, so i been reading around a bit. we had a hmt meet, where we put the teg engine back together and back in the car. :y

everything is pretty much slapped on now. (misplaced bolts/nuts, school, and work slowed me down)

so anywho, i have to prime the oil pump? err, so i crank the engine, with the fuse pulled to get oil going or what? whats the deal?

Re: priming oil pump
 

Just unplug the dizzy and crank for about 30 seconds.

Re: priming oil pump
 

did you use white grease on the pump gears?


Why not?

Re: priming oil pump
 

pull the plugs, and crank the bitch.

Re: priming oil pump
 

i did. go back to the other thread :-\ :(

Re: priming oil pump
 

x2. Remove plugs for less load, unplug dizzy and remove ECU fuse.

crank over until oil light shuts off. Then fire it up!

Why did you bump a thread from 10 days ago to restate the obvious? :1

Re: priming oil pump
 

I just pulled the ecu, that way Im not washing down my fresh hone with a ---- ton of gas. ANd can crank on it all I want.

Re: priming oil pump
 

Did you actually read over each reply? ???

No one mentioned any fuel issue. Last thing you want when firing up a new engine are dry internals and washed out cylinders.

This may be obvious to such veteran engine builders as yourself, but not to the OP.

10 days is not that long....it's only twice as long as your period.

Re: priming oil pump
 

Yes, I did read each reply. You have had an account here for quite some time. Which means you should know that unplugging the dizzy means no crank signal to the ecu, which means no injectors are spraying into the cyl.

I apologize if you feel like this guy needs his hand held through this process, but fact is I was not incorrect. I have built plenty of engines priming them by doing nothing more than unplugging the dizzy. It hurts nothing.

I get tired of repeating this because it sounds arrogant, which is not my goal, but heres the short version.

Im a Master certified Porsche tech. I know what the ---- im talking about.

Re: priming oil pump
 

And where does the fuel injection system get it's signals to decide when to fire the injectors?

Anyone?

Yeah, Hitchhikkr is right. Unplug the distributor and you will have no injectors firing.

Re: priming oil pump
 

I had a guy on H-T tell me you can run a fuel injected honda without a ecu, it wont run right but it will run :1

Re: priming oil pump
 

Lol. I'd like to see that one executed.

:1 :1

Re: priming oil pump
 

i recently found out that a chipped ecu will run on the stock maps even with J1 being connected if there is no chip.

i also had a guy in a bar once try to tell me that all cars squirt the injectors all at once. silly rednecks

Re: priming oil pump
 

Um, what? They will run off the limp mode maps, but not the main maps if I am not mistaken. I could be way off base though.

Sequential and bank to bank modes are non existent. DURRRRR :1 :1

Re: priming oil pump
 

Wasnt it the z31 300zx that started out with sequential injection, and they had so many problems they came out with a tech bulletin to turn to to batch fire? :1 :1 :1

Ill see if I can find it, I just remember laughing out loud at nissan failure.

Re: priming oil pump
 

yes it was the 300z, I did a bunch of rewires back to sequential and they would pick up an extra 20 hp and with much better throttle responce. It had to do with the company saving less than 1 dollar on wire. :S

Re: priming oil pump
 

Yeah and it seems like their policies havent deviated far.

GTR trans as a WEAR item? I laugh out ------- loud. :P
