Asking this on behalf of a friend and fellow user of another forum.

Recently completed RB20 Swap... just a straight swap as he blew his other one, DET Auto exactly the same engine as before and all runnign components just used a different block n head basically.

Car will crank over happily but will not fire, plenty of fuel, plenty of spark. List of things tried so far:

Replaced Ignitor

Replaced CAS

Replaced Injectors

Replaced & Checked Coils and Plugs

Replaced Loom & Injector Loom

Checked Compression

Replaced every fuse and every relay

ECU says Nil Errors (Code 55)

Replaced Inlet Manifold Gasket and Throttle Body

Checked Timing (spot on)

The thing has no intercooler pipes on it, meaning no AFM, so dont expect it to idle but it wont even fire or try to fire, just free spins. Plenty of fuel getting to the engine so its not the fuel pump either.

TPS or 02 Sensor? But I thought it would at least fire even if they were borked. Im stumped, advised him to go get a proper diag on it as im out of ideas but thought you guys may be able to point out something we have missed.

Cheers,

James.

It's got way too much air. It won't fire. The car also won't fire up as you're only running the TPS sensor and Map sensor. It'll be wanting the AFM meter as that is it's main information source.

Hook the pipes up, and then give it a kick in the guys!

If the AFM isn't connected then the car will start in limp home mode. It works completely fine til about 2500rpm, where it hits a rev limiter.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
