You're a madman Ben - I like your style.

Rebuild due to "issues" or purely precautionary?

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

chops the engine rebuild was due to the car dropping the bottom.

danderman4 not too sure where they got the engine machining work done but ill find out, i have asked 1 guy(1 of the apprentices) and he wasnt exactly sure.

the build from bottom up is that i can remember:

sump baffle kit

new oil and water pumps

gates timing belt

acl race series bearings, pistons(20 thou over), rings and gasket kit

eagle h beam rods

aero speed cam gears

new complete engine hose kit

new head bolts

work which was done on the head and block(not sure what was done off the top of my head what they did)

thats about it that i can remember for now. i know there is still 2 engine mounts getting done and the abs unit is getting replaced

Ha ha! Thanks chops!

Rebuild is due to issues, basic issue being i blew a turbo seal and it syphoned all the oil out of the motor and did in the bottom end! Not happy, but what can ya do, atleast it will be built stronger and i will know what condition the motor is in!

Got my RS4 on the weekend, not in bad nick, needs a few things cleaned up but isnt bad for the price i got it for. Now i realise the difference between an RS4 and a 260RS though...lol, funny how they dont go aswell with only one turbo! lmao!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
