Just want to post about my results after the install. It was a justjap Type 1 R33 kit

Mr_G did a great job installing it and took 3.5 hours flat. he even put my stock bov back on, what a champ.

Just got back from driving it, testing on full boost for short periods, after 120kms no hoses have flown off.

Some things I've noticed is boost maxes out at around 9, maybe a bit over where it used to be 10 (on the turbotech bleed valve)

When driving normally the car doesnt feel much different, dont even feel any lagier. Except I can't take off in 2nd gear anymore, thats when I feel the lag, used to do that when I'm lazy hehe

Its when driving hard that I notice it going to redline more easily

Also without my bov it sounds alot different. It sounds kind of like wooooosh-Sheeeeee, using the stock bov

Anyway I'm very happy with the install

The metal bar behind the bumper was cut, 3" hole under the washer bottle and fan fins trimmed

Highly recommend Mr_G :P

If you want to buy my old bov, look here. Thorpe says its fully sick.

Gengis:

Glad to hear your happy with the install. I actually saw you driving through Auburn crossing Parramatta rd around 7:30 yesterday evening as I was in a mates car on the way home after dropping mine off to get re-tuned.

The FMIC looks good, and your bar is pretty stealth in terms of hiding hte FMIC abit... hehe.. :)

^^ No worries, let me know whenever, my hours are pretty flexible as im a uni student so during the week I usually have a few hours to spare here and there...

Gengis: Didnt see the supra... Also the picture of the car in the shade with the cooler behind the bar, the cooler looks quite straight in that pic to be honest. I dont think its wonky by that much in terms of your front bar sitting against how the core looks.

Now, you just need to cut out some of that front bar to allow a tad more air flow to the core... :( and allow some air through to your radiator, and surely the FMIC may be blocking a large amount of what was coming through??

Cheers Sid :rolleyes:

Quickblade : I kind of like it how it is now, understated and not fully exposed. Thought about the radiator thing too especially with the radiator fan being trimmed, but I've kept an eye on the temp gauge and it hasn't really been any different than before (needle still a bit below half way)

Its still running the stock turbo pushed to 11psi anyway so the airflow to the intercooler isnt a big issue (I hope!) :)

^^ I like the installs, there fun!

As for airflow Gengis, your definately getting a huge amount more airflow than what the sidemount was getting!

With the fanblades being trimmed, ive ran my car like that for a year and abit now and no dramas with the water temp. If anything, my freinds car that runs a thermo fan rather than an engine driven one hits higher water temps than mine!!

Mine survived easily on that New years day of 40 deg +!!!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
