Latest update - not enough power is going to the starter. Direct power to the starter and the car fires up, on its own using the battery it won't ignite. Sigh,

Technically it's a Toyota. The only BMW part of this car is the shell.

Add a starting relay ?
your ignition could be weak.

But wasn't it fine earlier on, before this problem came up?

 

[parakey]

Would it start if jump started from another car?

I already have one. Mech friend is helping to check

But wasn't it fine earlier on, before this problem came up?

Yeah, it was. That's the weird part.

Nope.

 

[parakey]

Nope.

Now that's really wierd but in a way, it's also good since it rules out some other issues. Since it can be started directly, I guess you need to look at last mile cabling to the starter

Weleh, never ending problems!

shhhh don't jinx it. its not problems, its maintenance for showroom car.

just because its a showroom car doesn't mean you don't have to replace the rubber parts, the wires -- oxidizes, etc.

Recent updates :

- Car broke down at home. Starter was dead. Voltage detected at the started was less than 7v.
- Oil leaked out from the relocation of the cooler. Braided hoses were leaking.
- Found a few melted relays. Earlier 2 high speed fans were wired to one relay, so yeah melted.

So now the car is with a good mechanic friend. He cleared up all my wires so now my engine bay is super clean. Almost wireless! The birds nest of wires in the passenger foot well as been tidied and ECU relocated to inside the car instead of engine bay (for cooling purposes). So now he's working on the major oil leak. Hopefully after this the car will be ready for the road.

Please put an air filter on your intake, else your turbo fins will eventually be destroyed. I speak from experience.

I tell him so many time tamau dengar

 

[vr2turbo]

With time, something will also clogged up, imagine with filter the filter also clogged......

Here is the thing, i am little bit confused with the air intake routes. Some put air filter in front of Turbo and some put it separate from the turbo like a factory airbox setup. I know its depending on design but mind to share what's the logic behind both setups. Nothing on google showed me anything concrete so far.

I don't understand your question. Air filter is before the turbo, it's all the same even if it's a seperate airbox thing.

long as its before the turbo, makes little diference…

imo only thing to concern yourself about this matter is with is space constraints and if cool air is being fed in.
