Have you had a good look at it, sounds strange to only lose 4 valves there might be more damage, and possibly to the piston they hit as well.

On the bright side, entire rb20s are cheap if you need lots of bits. Justjap have r32 gtst front cut on their website for 2,200, engine would be cheaper again. Or ring the other wreckers like SSS.

that's not TOO bad.. rb20's aren't expensive ;o

mate bought a gtr to have the turbos die a day later, got them replaced within another 2-3days then got it on the dyno for a tune and spun a bearing.

rb26 builds = shiteload.

so yea, u're not alone so dont feel tooo bad about it. lots of lemon skylines going around. ;o

f**k!

there isnt much more to state other than the obvious.. you snapped 2 valves and they stayed around to play. i wouldnt be suprised if your bores are scratched.. hopefully they'd only need a light hone.

the problem is mainlyl in the head. you'd want to replace all of those valves. you might get away with just replacing those 4 but you'll have no guarantees that the same thing wont happen again. get the head serviced too.

while you've got it all apart you might as well do bearings and rings.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
