Boosted K20 Civic Finally Hits the Dyno!! (Here's what happened)

[@keeganmcallister7090]

I had a very similar issue with my k24 turbo eg hatch. I was pulling my hair out trying to find the issue. Long story short, it ended up being the MAP sensor shorted out internally causing the ecu to not power up. Just an idea, swap the map sensor for a stock one if you have one laying around.

[@Slixxeredits]

Like so he sees this

[@Z3R0__Gaming1]

Bump

[@기스아포티지-p4r]

너도 k24 터보냐

[@williamobrien1476]

as dumb as it sounds, has the last guy that owned katie put an aftermarket anti-theft? both my integras had one and they both failed after a while... was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it wouldn't start then fumbled upon them

[@daveyboytellem]

robbie check the ignition cylinder, verify everything is stock and that none the wires burned and is shorting on the steering column/the dash frame

[@TimAndreKnutsen]

Personally I would love a troubleshooting vid with Nick tho! Stay committed❤️

[@jasonhenry2212]

I probably am completely wrong. But when I'm working on construction. We cross a line to make sure everything stays off. Depending on when we and what we are working on. Sounds like you have a crossed ground and power. Maybe where the ecu plugs in.

[@jacobcotriss6264]

That MPC hardware hits at the 6 minute mark… also wonderful Chris’ face is nice too

[@AFXGaming]

Sounds like a bad ground somewhere, happened on a 2004 accord I have, key would turn on and light everything up but the starter and ecu wouldn't get power because of the bad ground

[@trutabogdan4063]

Yes my man, same on my D14Z1 EJ9, thermostat housing ground.

[@Honda_sev]

Good luck! Remember to keep it simple! Start at the battery. And check grounds!

[@Jpgaps]

13:04 we all know that feeling😭 waited so long anticipating that hopefully it would work. All you have to do is turn the key and find out…. Boom. Your heart just sank🥲

[@julianvdh]

Didn't you accidentally press the kill switch button? This is close to the ECU on civics. Had the same problem with my Civic Aerodeck. Fuel pump also not priming

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

Lol, imagine that😂😂😂

[@baker8120]

Was wondering if they tried bump starting it 😂

[@nicholasmacausland]

I had this happen to me on my b18c with S300 a bad map sensor will cause the board to not turn on its a ground they share if the map goes it messes with the ecu

[@kylegreenall9455]

Dude, try pulling the backside of your ignition barrel off (2 screws) and try cranking it that way with a screw driver while holding pressure every which way while turning it. There’s a thin fragile piece of metal inside that turns with the key to get power where it needs to go that wears out over time I have had a few go bad on me over the years in my Honda’s, acc would work but I wouldn’t get any power to the starter

[@carslovr222]

Check for a shorted sensor. Cam, crank, map, etc. friend’s Acura had a shorted crank sensor when it blew a timing belt. Car had the exact symptoms.

[@vasiltenev6757]

do a video with you messing with the wiring harness it will make a nice vid (what do you guys think??) and what do you think Robbie

[@gnj9192]

Great videos always. Kind of like a behind the scenes type of vibe. I did guess the truck for the jeep, when you had the heart break emoji after seeing Brad. Here I am looking for a new truck. Can't wait to see what else you get into

[@builtbybude3362]

Honestly robbie. Hook the cut out to the vtec solenoid. So its quiet until vtec cracks and boom all the power and you dont even have to think about it! Just food for thought. Love the content man keep it up!

[@builtbybude3362]

As funny as it sounds. It seems like a ground issue. Im sure you checked it but could the relocated battery cables be causeing it?

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

Looks like ignition switch accessory 2 has no power, it can’t possibly be that simple.

[@envision2306]

Change out your map sensor , old Toyota had a shorted out map sensor and was causing the fuel pump not to prime as-well as cutting power to the injectors. You can also try unplugging the map and seeing if it runs ! Good luck😁

[@a1-builds]

I love the longer videos man! I could listen and watch you guys do your thing for hours on end!

[@jacobcotriss6264]

My first thought would be to undo what was done right before the issue started. Last thing messed with=first thing touched

[@jaywordforbidden]

Hey Jacob. If I am not mistaken I think he said he put everything back to the way it was before they swapped it over. But still nothing.

[@siorrm12]

Check your ignition switch the electrical part that turns also when you turn the key

[@CTRLALTDELETE27]

I have the same annoying issue with my 91 'rolla where I have a good battery, but the main relay wasn't even turning on when I turn the key. Turned out to be a bad ground. Maybe check and clean some ground connections from battery to the chassis. Hope this helps!

[@IGUANAMIKE]

Even the bad stuff is part of the journey. I wouldn't mind seeing a troubleshoot video. Stay committed!

[@customcreations586]

When you’re accidentally early bc you have the day off and see a new video. Looking to start a channel when I get home and a tuning shop within a few years, always looking forward to dyno day videos!

[@jayjoseph4012]

New sub🔥💯

[@customcreations586]

@@jayjoseph4012 thank you!! The videos I have up are pretty old and I don’t have those cars anymore but I’ve got some big projects coming up, hope to see you stick around!

[@jayjoseph4012]

@@customcreations586 I'll make sure to watch all later today....❤️I'm here to stay...will be looking forward for the new builds and progress

[@subartss]

robbie, please check, if you have a good Ground Connection, and if all Grounds are connected. sounds like such an issue to me

[@ernestonevarez1276]

I literally said he would buy an old towing rig in the last video. Hope everything goes fine and your way for once in the civic

[@selfbuilt822]

Had a similar issue with a swap we was doing and it was one of the main solenoids under the glove box , it was the big grey one... replaced and cad started

[@smoothlover073]

Check to see if it may be the crank sensor wires may be cut and touching

[@andrewcannaert2179]

Cant wait to watch Robbie 😩😩😩

[@JCHKER]

Damn it Brad you got in the way! 😂

[@Dan_The_Nerd]

So glad to see a new vid up. Stay committed bro your the best

[@pking6021]

Anybody else turn it up when Robbie gave the headphone warning?

[@landrysampson5923]

Do you think the “extra wires” y’all tapped in the k tune harness was a ground wire??

[@brandonmercado9061]

Bolt the ecu to the frame of the car it’s a ground issue

[@jaredpursey3791]

I'm sure nic would know if the ecu needs to be grounded. He deals with these daily.

[@itzdylan2663]

Try the inertia switch under glove box as my problem before it stopped my Maine relay and fuel pump 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@erica8497]

Hey Robbie , have you checked the battery fuse it’s a 80A in the fuse box

[@reinisabeltins218]

Maybe check the battery conections? It probably isnt that but it is a worth a try

[@robhernandez7322]

Good luck 🍀 great job stay with it bro!! ✌🏼

[@justinroberts5805]

Did you check if the ignition barrel is still okay?

[@lwll1357]

Same exact thing happened to my jeep, broken ignition barrel. Took a month of going under the car and jumping the starter before I found it!

[@valvedexhausts8685]

Awesome vid, love seeing my products in your videos! Can’t wait to you find a solution to the problem.

[@christianfolkner3487]

Robbie build the s10 into your new slammed tow vehicle you can buy a drop hitch and reverse it if needed itd be sick and the ls could definitely tow

[@joshswift4158]

just had this issue with my 98 ek hatch b series turns out my c15 capacitor was screwed. such a head ache chasing wires and checking fuses and the main relay etc etc

[@seththompson5326]

Honestly would love to watch the video of you trying to figure it out I feel like it would be a fun video

[@Dan_The_Nerd]

It's gotta be a fusible link in on of your for wires. Good luck

[@awgrexy9824]

My buddy just had the same issue with his ek but it has a boosted b series but it turned out to just be the small fuel pump fuse

[@mattoneill9723]

Made 273hp on the 2nd run, don't understand why you would be concerned about the torque numbers? I don't remember if you have a built bottom end or not?

[@Orkine]

hear me out but when you put the co2 sensor in did you tuck the wires away or did it melt to the exhaust? just a vibe! i could be wrong but just a check might be good! love your content dude keep it up!

[@td3dits548]

Oooooooooo damn I’m stoked for that thing🔥🔥

[@GttiqwT]

well im glad it didnt blow up, at least its some sort of eletrical problem!

[@blacktopmedia]

Didn’t you fix the wiring in the fuel pump maybe something went loose

[@nicholasmcmillan476]

Pulled over at a gas station just to watch this video 😍

[@RobertLiggett]

Love you content

[@RobertLiggett]

Your😢

[@clappedlexus]

lift the jeep? big boy tire?

[@Ryoneftw]

Amazing video as always my dude, I'm pretty sure little EK will run like butter again.

[@JDMAnt]

Love the jeep! Hope your civic is sorted soon

[@Fat2Fit5k]

I'm back watching after work gotta catch back up been busy sadly

[@TheRealMrRoyal]

Just left another creators eg video to watch Robbie's EK video.

[@rikismith8845]

What turbo is that

[@anthonypieracci3253]

Get a diesel for the tow rig. Good diesel content to spice it up 👍🏼

[@blairharris]

I see that RV!

[@Noisy_Boys]

defo need some rims and tires for the jeep

[@cyruslever586]

My mr2 with a kseries makes 450 wheel on pump gas with 2.5 inch exhaust. Sooooooo idk what he talking about. It make almost 800 on e85 2.5 inch exhaust is plenty for that small of a motor

[@jacob3ttoutdoors372]

You checked your actual ignition system and fuse I had one go out while driving and was lost until a friend told me that it was the ignition fuse

[@Omgkhii]

Haven't watched the jeep video yet gotta do some catching up keep the content coming🔥‼

[@californiaactionsports8458]

S10 for towing??

[@ziixxyy785]

Wooo! Been waiting for this!

[@KhayyamCruz]

Alternator fuse if you don't disconnect it it will blow the alternator fuse samething happened to me

[@traviscampbell2663]

These videos fire me up for my own builds

[@TimAndreKnutsen]

Yess! Boii

[@dat_bouy]

I'm sure you've tried this but try completely undoing what Nick did or try a different run of wire. Maybe it's crossing wires or grounding itself?

[@Dustin6980]

Lol did you not watch the full video ?

[@Cars-are-cool-ish]

I had this problem and the fuse box wasn't grounded

[@TheRealMrRoyal]

Let's go!!!!! Early for the win!!!

[@chris4710-s5q]

What seats u have I like

[@KenzoOnYouTube]

Noti gang

[@garycooney3113]

Try putting new grounds in, just the main grounds.

[@mackenziem.4652]

s10 tow rig ?

[@Thatgreencgsix]

S10?

[@traviscampbell2663]

Let’s go boys

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

I sent you some pictures on instagram if you want to print a piece to hold 3 gauges and mount it where the radio was and move the radio down where you have the gauges. Better to have them in the eyesight

[@Thechaoscrusadors]

Try swapping the fuel pump. If its not priming it could be busted entirely

[@josewilliams69]

I think it could be a key problem or the thing where u put the key hahaha, like an antithief system or a bad ground somewhere 🤔

[@nicholasortiz5880]

Did you try putting it in rice? 🤔

[@KhayyamCruz]

It's a 7.5 fuse its cut the fuel pump out

[@eliashyman3159]

I would like to watch trying to find the issue, as a time lapse

[@edwinruiz1276]

You should make a drag race car and look up keep gunning and he will show you how to do things the right way it’ll be a cool as video

[@KhayyamCruz]

If it starts then it can be two things

[@KhayyamCruz]

Spray the throttle body with ether and try to start it

[@itsfear8490]

I have a k24 engine on my honda civic eg

[@KutsugeMindUrmoks]

You guys never get it easy with the dynos do you?

[@adybiluta]

One day my eg stopped working. Turned out it was just a blown fuse. 😁

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

8:23 I thought you knew more about cars

[@Lee_county_slobalt]

That dodge has way to much knock you should have very minor black smoke come out the exhaust

[@scjdiving7067]

V8 supercharged next project? @robbie

[@brandonmercado9061]

Run into that problem twice

[@justar6865]

Nice

[@sanake883]

Yeyeye

Took me all of 4month to figure it out

damn man

[@gabewilson81]

8:14 cmon robbie the obviously wrong spike in the graph is staring you in the face and you believe the car made 100 more torque than hp ...
