Just bought 2g tsi fwd

[Dakota98talon_esi]

Just bought it about a week ago. Running everything stock. Previous owner cut exhaust right were the downpipe connects to the exhaust so it's extremely loud. Was boosting around town today when all the sudden the car spudders and dies. Tried to start it back, then for a second and blew one white with blue tint smoke everywhere. Then died again. So I thought, maybe I coulda blown the little t25 but took the intake off and felt for compressor wheel play there's is none. Every time I crank the car it'll start an idle kind of weird, and start backfiring then ill apply some throttle an it acts like its running out of gas. Then all kinds of crap starts ticking in the dash. Previous owner also ripped the stereo out. Left all the wires bare an junk? Help please?!

That's what it did and wouldn't idle at all.

Okay guys. Here the update. Car is shit . Got the motor in everything bolted up, and hooked up. Car started for about 15 seconds idle'edkinda messed up. The backfired and used now I can't get it to anything. I mean it will crank but that's it. and when I do crank it it sounds like tha damn starter is gonna rip the flywheel in half. any ideas?

iPhone is obviously shit too. Meant to say then backfired and died.

the eclipse is a 5 speed so i was like all excited and stuff because he said that it had a freshly rebuilt 7 bolt with less than 1000 miles on the engine and turbo.

did you put that motor in your car?

Check timing and make sure your starter is hooked up good and tighten your battery terminals.
I had loose terminals and it sounds like a horrible grinding noise from the bay also make sure you have good spark and you have the firing order correct on the coil pack.

OP, in regards to your earlier mentioning of DSMGraveyard, I suggest you stick with JNZ on this one. Why you should buy from JNZ
Here's what your new shortblock would look like.

I've had wonderful experiences with JNZ, even been around the shop a couple of times. Great group of guys.

Anybody know what the two starter bolt sizes are? And I also noticed I don't have the front transmission mount on, the one that goes to the crossmember under the car. Would have anything to do with my problems?

 

[93AWDDSM]

should be M10x60mm

I wouldn't think not having that motor mount would cause a no start issue but I would get a new one for shore.

Thanks man. You've been great help. Do you know about the other question I asked about the tranny mount?

Problem with that is I can't find one anywhere. The mount is still on the cross member I just need the bracket. I've lost it some where along the line. And I swear it looks like my motor is a little to far forward?
