LOL were totally over killing this hehe... Freakin jump the battery and then let yer car idle for like 10 mins.
Also check the water levels of your battery. Car batteries are wet cell and need water between the carbon plates.

Rep Power: 0 yeh it was a thank you
well i had just finished installing my turbo last night
i was lettinghte gasket sealentonthe oil pan set overnight
i put the oil intheis afternoon and double checked everything.
i tried to start it up but wasn;'t getting any juice
So when i tired to jump it for a boat battery my father had inthe garage it would give the car power but not enough to start. Just enough for the alarm and the radio..
after pulling hte fuse out the alarm , when i attempted to start it i would here to clicking noises
i tried to let the battery charge from the one inthe garage but everytime i tried to start the car the alram would go off, even thou i disarmed it
come to find out when my father got here that that battery was like dead and he never hook up up to the charger to recharge.
he jumps me from the van battery and the car rumbles
basically the battery was completely drain form me having my trunk open all week and i was trying to jump the car from an already dead batery( didn;t know)
anyways problem solved thatks to my much concerned 7thgen fam

from mypoint of view..
i beenreading about cars for a while and aturbo has been a long awaited thing for me. i never thought i would be able to buy yet alone put a kit together so even thinkin of installing it myself wsa beyond thought. I've done everything on my and figured i shouldn't stop with the turbo.It's proably the biggest and most respectful thing you could do to a car And being that i worked on it all week taking up my parents garage and having to make adjustments the manifold and piping, and it's my daily driver back and forth to school where class begin at the end of the month, i know they were going to kick my *** if i had ****ed up my car.
i thought i had activated my immoblizer. that why i was so scared. And if i had that means i would have had to come out my pocket, get it towed to honda where they probably wouldn't even want to touch my car and then i would be SOL.
now off to work so i can paypal that money for my clutch
