Car: 180sx was ca18det now sr20det
Mate i have a ca18 stock turbo,intercooler, airfilter only mods 2.5inch exhaust and boost at 10psi and i pulled 106kw atw and that is in darwin on a 38 degree day with 93 percent humidity :D i have run it like that for nearly 2 years that i have been up here when the car was in Vic nearly 2 years ago it went a lot harder due to the temp and lack of humidity down there.

all this and we dont even have optimax up here we have the worst fuel here stuff that you guys down south wouldn't touch and they call it premium and i still get around 520-550 per tank.

Dude you should pull a lot bigger numbers atw than that. :P :P

are you getting pulses to the injectors? (you should be able to hear them ticking if you put a screwdriver on the injector, and then put the other end against your ear while cranking the engine over)

I'd be checking all fuses and connectors too.

the spark plugs are wet so im guessing that fuels being injected. will check though. might run a ecu fault test as well.

is it definitely making spark?

if there's fuel going in then that should rule out injectors, fuel pump, and crank angle sensor

hmmm.. could it just be flooded if it's pumped too much fuel in while trying to start?

Maybe try cranking it over for a while with the fuel pump unplugged to clear it out.
