i cant get my IDI to run!!!

[IDIoit]

I just finished fabbing new exhaust and new turbos on my 63 ranchero...
got it all together, and it wouldn't fire
yes ive purged the air,
I have fuel at the injectors,
12V+ to FSS..

this is not a "help me get my truck running " post
this is a "hay! look at this dummy!" post...
look very close and my problem is obvious!!

Radiator hose clamp too long.

Wearing too much protection on the intakes?

Really hard to see through my scratched up phone screen but it looks like the dust caps are still in turbo inlets.

I have read through several of your build threads. You do amazing work. You are an inspiration to all of us not so talented folks.

Squirt all your fuel out of that thing on the fuel filter?

 

[IDIoit]

I left the plastic caps on the turbo inlet...lol
it would kick, but wouldn't run.
pulled em off and she fired right up

 

[Thewespaul]

That’ll do it. How are you liking the new turbos? More responsive?

The caps were the second thing I saw but looks like there is a ball valve on your filter housing thats closed but I'm looking at it on a phone so it's not the best way to see a pic

yep, ball valve ontop of the filterhead to evac air.

I havnt really drove it yet, im on dad duty and I cant exactly put the twins in it lol
I took it down the street before grandma left and it hit 12 psi without adjusting anything, so im spooling up a lot better

When i got to a real monitor I'll take a look...
But I figure the easy fix is buy a prius

I'll say it, because everybody's thinking it: post a video Brian, or at least a couple of pics!

glad to hear it is more responsive and spools better now. thats like 3 times better than the old setup! on less fuel to boot!
