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!

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.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
