Well to warn you this is gonna be a long post. First thing is first I am cranking the motor over and there is no spark the plug and wires are all new. Next I seem to be not geting any oil pressure I checked the turbo oil line feed and its bone dry. And the fina thing is is the resitor pack is smokin hot, like to hot to touch and the fuel injectors seem t get hot as well. I need help this project has been 7 months in the making and it seems every time I ask a question im not geting the right anwsers. Sorry if it is vague just post to ask me anythin I might have left out.
 
i'm not sure about the wires and stuff, but as for no oil it takes awhile for oil to pass through all the gallies and passages and the turbo feed line is the last place for the oil to pass though. so that might be why you aren't getting any oil there (unless you primed your oil pump), but i would check the cylinder head to see if you getting oil there or not too.
 
yeah im not sure about the head because the oil is really clear and im not sure if its supose to be drenched or what
 
I need some more responses about the no spark, iom not sure why ist not sparking????????
 
id say do a quick check of the ecu just to make sure thats not the problem, you know just smell for rotten fish, look for leaky caps/burn marks
 
I checked the ecu it seems just fine all harnesses seem to be pluged and with no burn marks or rotten smell
 
Few things you need todo .. 1 take off your CAS and start cranking your engine over like about 10-12 times you need to get oil in there befor eyou start it .. , If your oil pressure still sucks and you arent losing oil , 1 I hope you replaced your pump , and take off the oil pan and make sure the pickup is actually reaching the oil .. unfortunately that problem is such a broad spectrum you really need to have a diagnostic run or ask the guys at your local dsm club to help ( ie > borrow someones data logger ) ..
