Try this. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/89473-help-needed/?fromsearch=1Li If that dosent work these will you think I should just start it and hope I get pressure won't it fuck the turbo if it runs dry?

akyakapotter Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Id be inclined to pre fill the turbo with oil Imo check the banjo isn't bunged up with gunk ect. Quote
Whitenoize Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Lol was just going to start it and hope for the best but stripped the threads on the oil feed so now need an oil filter housing fml haha Edited January 15, 2015 by Whitenoize Quote
Whitenoize Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Anyone else got any ideas or things I could try to get oil pressure? Quote
pockrockgtti Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 take the main EFI relay out of the fuse box under the bonnet, and then keep cranking with the starter until oil comes out. Do it in multiple 10sec burst with 5sec of rest between. Quote

Do it in multiple 10sec burst with 5sec of rest between. thanks man I know how to do it but I'm getting no oil pressure is the issue I cranked it for around 2 min and got nothing Quote
Whitenoize Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 is there oil in it? lol yes mate engine has oil in it Quote
_shaun_ Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I have a oil filter housing sitting if your stuck. Take it you don't have any oil pressure gauges or anything? Quote
Whitenoize Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 I have a oil filter housing sitting if your stuck. Take it you don't have any oil pressure gauges or anything? thanks mate I just ordered one from jdm-ep no I've no oil pressure gauge.. My mate said just start it and the pressure will build straight away but bit unsure don't wanna fuck the turbo Quote
_shaun_ Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Aye he I'd be abit wary aswell sound daft but battery on it good and cranking over hard? If the battery or starters week might not be turning that fast Quote
Whitenoize Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Seems to be cranking fine mate battery seems strong what I'm go a do is when I get this new housing stick a new filter on and try again see if I'm getting oil to the filter if I'm getting oil to the filter then I must have some pressure? Then fill the turbo with oil and start it see if the pressure builds Quote

_shaun_ Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Hopefully all goes well at some stage you have to have some good luck with the car surely ha? Quote
Whitenoize Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Hopefully all goes well at some stage you have to have some good luck with the car surely ha? that's what I'm thinking haha this one has been a pain but I'm to far in to give up Quote
_shaun_ Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Aye just gotta keep working away at it and get it sorted let's be honest the way things are going if you decided to set fire to it your whole house and garage would likely be set of fire and burned down to the ground and the starlet would just be sitting in the middle of ashes perfectly untouched Quote
