Ok so i pulled finger this morning at finally got my RB25DE+T finished.

Its got spark, and its got fuel pressure, but the injectors arent opening...

Vital Info -

Car is using a RB25DE (R33) with:

RB20 Loom

RB20 ECU

RB20 CoilPacks

RB25 NA injectors

RB20 AFM

RB25 CAS

RB25 TPS

What i had to do was cut the injector plugs off the RB25 loom and replace the injector plugs in the RB20 loom with the said RB25 items. This was simple, as all the signal wires are the same colour as the RB20 ones, however the common earth is a different (yet constant) colour..

Ok so problem: when i tested with a test light, the common earth on the injector loom will light up the test light when it is earthed on the battery's negative terminal.

Why arent i getting a signal to the injectors?

Is the CAS (which i know controls the injector pulse) not compatible with the RB20 ECU?

The CAS looks identicle, and the plug goes straight on, but the part numbers are different.

:P ,,,, that is me right now.

Because it's a common power, not a common earth? So i'm assuming your injectors have no power maybe?

Except your test light says you have power.

You wouldn't have spark if the cas was the wrong one, though there are some differences between early rb25 and rb20 ones i think you have gotten lucky maybe.

Anyone know if the rb25de injectors are high of low impedance? 20 are high. 25 may be low and popped something. easy enough to measure on the car with a multimeter.

Check that the injector ground wire at the ecu is earthed. Can't find my pinout diagram so can't tell you the pin off the top of my head.

check for error codes

check fuses and wiring back to the ecu, jury rig a positive off the battery directly to the common power wire for the injectors to ensure you have power.

yeah your right, if the CAS wasnt working, it would not spark!

So that rules that theory out...

The Injector loom is earthed at the two earth points on the upper radiator hose inlet next to the two temp sensors...

The block is earthed out correctly...

ill buy a node light tommorow and have a looksee... man i hate wiring!

bump

experts needed please

As stated earlier, there is NO common ground for the injectors, thay are fed battery voltage from the EFI relay, the ECU turns the injectors on by grounding them. You should have battery voltage to BOTH sides of the injectors with the key on, engine off. Should be battery voltage all the way to the ECU unless engine is cfranking or running, then it should flash on and off and ecu grounds them./

ok i understand that now.

1st i will check if the injectors are getting pulsed at the main injector plug, then i will chase it back up the loom from there..

is said injector loom fused? maybe i have blown a fuse?

Man you gotta be serious, I'm having the same problem.. just after I ripped apart my plenum and took out my injectors to be cleaned and flow tested..

now i cant start my car.. just put everything back together like 1 hour ago and nothing.. no injector pulse....

you dont have the injector 12v live hooked up. the negative signal will be pulsing fine from the ecu that doesnt stuff up.

You know what the common wire is on the loom, I thinks its light grey for a rb25 loom, you need to hook this up to a 12v relay and it will start as mentioned.

Dont hook it up to a live without a relay.

Edit: just notices you have a 20 loom, so whatever the constant wire is for that prob wont be light grey.

ok so i've got power to both sides of the injector plugs...

i just dont have a good pulsed earth...

my ECU thinks its controlling RB20 260cc top feed injectors

but its really controlling RB25 260cc side feed injectors...

do i need a resistor pack?

Grab a multimeter and check the impendence on the rb25 injectors, just put it on ohms and put it on the injector pins.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
