Prime engine sequence?

[Rensuhlo]

Google literally doesn't have the sequence easily found. Replaced the turbo and would like to prime it with oil before starting the car fully.


Do we have a prime sequence like the 86s do?

I dont know how the 86 is done but what I would do is unplug your injectors so no fuel is shot into your cylinders and Crank the engine over for a little while and that will prime the turbo with engine oil and not start the car.

I unplug HPFP, Injectors, and coils. crank a couple times, fire.

What I ended up doing. The injector clip closest to the firewall was a royal pain

Yeah, it can be. It's a little easier if you move the plastic bracket held by two 8mms screws out of the way.

Some knowledge for next time.

Dope. I must've missed the screws. I was hella sleep deprived and very frustrated after removing/reinstalling the 6 port so many times.

You can also just unplug the last DME connector (towards the windshield). Car will crank, but no ignition. Note you have to unplug all the connectors in order, front to back, to reach the last one.

I just tried this and get and “drivetrain stability error”. Gonna try discounting the coil packs instead.

did you plug back in 1-5 and leave 6 unplugged?

This is my supposition as well. Only plug 6 stays off.

yea. I think I didn’t have one of the others seated quite right. Ended up disconnecting the coils and got it primed.

Then I drove it around and got a bunch of white smoke/vapor - discovered I left a rag under engine near dp that got a bit roasted. Once that was out everything ran great (w/o smoke).
