xtr high flowed turbo,zorst, hybrid cooler,850cc injectors,haltech ecu,550hp pump,twin plate clutch,etc.. u thnk possible lean out ending my rings? HELP!!!!!

il do a comp test 2 day.. ive been meaning to but my lazy ass couldnt be fudged taking all that piping crap off...wat a bitch of a job just to do a plug ay.. its been tuned for 300rwkw so he says, it was leaving holden r8 s for dead, now im lucky if i can beat a vw beetle off the lights!

Sounds like rings to me  :wub:

More than one... you might have the record of 5 by the sound of it

i just picked up a seal kit, ring set and 1.6mm head gasket. at a total price of $845...... gotta love aftermarket nissan gear...lol i hope ur rite r31nismoid, i cant really afford pistons on top of that

Ringlands of the piston will most likely be cactus I'm afraid.

Unless your motor has lots and lots of kms on it the factory nissan rings will last quite alot longer without losing compression.

You say the engine has been 'tuned' to 300rwkw. Do you have a dyno readout with the AFR's, RB25's need to run on the rich side of 12 to be save at higher boost due to having some decent compression ?

The other thing is that a 550hp fuel pump (I'm guessing walbro) is a tad small for 300rwkw given drivetrain losses. That sails very close to the wind. If you had a partially blocked fuel filter you could lean the motor out. At 412rwhp or 307rwkw figure that pump maxes out assuming it's going to even get 550hp worth of fuel in at the fuel pressure you are running.

Sorry mate. Sounds like rebuild time. At least you can put some forgies in there to handle the power better next time.

the motor has dun 175,000klms.... please say just the rings....

Thats alot of kms. However, the shear amount of oil going in to the catch can, the fact that the fuel pump is smallish, there wasn't a gradual increase in oil catch and it showers everyone in oil if you floor it means busted piston.

It's all over my friend. A compression test will show you the money very quickly. If you don't have a guage a cheap one can be bought for $30 from somewhere like supercheap auto.

have to agree totally with rev, its either rings gone (DEFINITELY more than 1), ringlands or the pistons themselves. If it were just a single ring it would take a little while to fill the catch can...

rebuild time, but definitely a comp test and possiblly a leak down will show the true colours of your problem!!!

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
