this morning i was down the goldy with noel picking up his car bits, and this arvo i was sleepin, u actually woke me up when u called :thumbsup:

Geez, I don't even get a mention?

You're walkin to Noels for sure.

Hey Noel....you want me to bring over my BBQ? I ported it a couple months back. Flame grill FTW!!!

y, it wasnt my stuff i was sand blasting and cleaning :laugh:

hahaha....oh and rb25 FTW!!

and ys that? :blink:

Hey every1 i new on here

so n e 1 wna make frnds wit me :P

:rolleyes::wub::bunny:

:P jokes jokes

welcome to this here sau, also check out www.sauqld.com :yes:

yo..

please educate my friend.. im trying to convince him/her that a 1jz engine is a far better choice than a RB25 neo/RB26DETT..

for say a 180/silvia or a project car..

stock for stock or modified.. im done trying to convince him...

I was almost convinced this was the case too Marki but since i have started sniffing around motor sport circles I have heard of plenty of the 1 and 2j donks that have shit themselves. Apparently another phurphy is the story about the forged bottom end. According to one 2j owner I spoke to its nearly all bs. Forged pistons yes but thats about it. and lets face it, pistons dont make a bottom end.

Given the amount of parts and info on the rb I wouldnt hesitate to mod one again and if this one doesnt go the distance (which I am sure it will) I will find out why not and rectify it.

yep.

but u tend to see that the general JZ engine has far supirior oil dispurtion and coolant circulation.. make that bit more power standard block..thats standard to standard.

but i knw what ur talking about with just istons being forgies...

with the SR20.. u cna have a full forged engine but in the end u still got a weak alloy block and they dnt see more than 700ponies :rolleyes:

It's hard to convince him because it's not just about 'the engine'. Reliability is important of course but you aren't taking into acount ease of installation, availability of parts etc. And don't just write of RB's like that either. Yeah sure the JZ is a well designed engine but 90% of RB engine failures are tune related. Too many tuners who do a half arsed job. It'll bring the strongest engine to it's knees.

At the end of the day, like Dan said, it's not the debate of which engine is strongest in stock form, it's pretty well documented that the JZ is probably trumps in that department. But the effort involved is rediculous when looking at the comparison of swapping either engine. The conversion is no longer unique, its been done a few times before and for the extra cost involved you could have a tougher RB.

ok

im diagnosing why im getting nothing much from the RB20..

its got a Z32 AFM with standard ecu..?

does that work.. from my understanding the Z32 has a different voltage correct..?

with it cranking over im not getting the injectors to open and close (electronically)?? using a test light and checked i off Inj #1 while cranking. i have fuel flow, ignition (diagnose by playing with the ignitor) enough to splutter but not keep on going..

cas seems good. so im shooting for fuel..???

anyone..

The other thing you could try is to remove the return line from the reg and turn on the ignition. If there is not enough pressure to bypass the reg, then you will never start it.

Then check spark. I can test your coil packs, PTU and injectors with an ignition tester I have but you should make sure you are getting power to everything first. Chuck a noid light on the injectors and see if they pulse. The Z32 AFM won't work on the standard ECU as it has a different resolution, but I'm not 100% on whether it will stop it from running completely. If you get stuck......I'll happily buy the car from you for $1

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
