im running a HKS GT2530kai with a stock ECU and SAFC II, is this bad? can the same prob. occur with mine if i boost it too much?

it all depends on your ability to tune the SAFC, but if the SAFC is tuned with acceptable air fuel ratio's and the engine isn't pinging out of it's brain, as in this case, then no.

my SAFC was originally tuned with the stock turbo was on, i havnt tuned it with the 2530 yet, but it seems to be running fine at 1 bar so far, anything over 16psi and i get fuel cut..

im hoping a Z32, Walbro pump and re-tuning of the SAFC will fix this problem..

P.S. Sorry for stealing thread l0WRB

wow look at the green 32 in the background of the photo 7 of the first group of pics.

looks like it goes alright haha.

yeah its only got 400rwhp and some random dude called nick81xd owns it, how random he is building my engine 2? haha the white skinny guy in the pic!

quick update

ive decided on putting in a set of wiseco forged pistons with new rings and some big end bearings and new head gasket and bolting it all back together..i dont know if it's worth shot peening the rods..anyone else had problems with standard rods at 300rwhp?

rods will be fine, are you fitting oversize pistons? i would agree with paul, that there is no way the highflow has caused this directly, i would be checking your fuel pump, and your breather setup. I bought a vl with an r34 motor with 4 cracked pistons due to the breather hooked up to the intercooler piping, which meant the turbo was pressurising the crankcase causing detonation at 7 psi.

i installed a walbro 255ltr fuel pump and car had a catch can hooked up both breathers were venting to a filter thru the catch can so i dont think it would be any of the above...hmmm mite get the injectors cleaned and flowed

Im not sure, but ive heard bed things about the walbro's ability to flow at higher fuel pressures, i doubt that its injectors, as 4 of them would have to be blocked for this to happen. I suppose the other thing that could cause this is an afm problem causing it to run lean. How do the plugs look? And is the cas near the centre of its adjustment?

walbros seem fine if u get a proper one,i know of a few mates cars making 400rwhp with this same pump..when i first imported the car start of last yr it felt really sluggish..noticed the timing was set at 0 degrees..set it to 15degrees and left it at that..and the cas is more like all the way left arm down..

Have a quick look arounf for a set of RB26 rods. They should be cheap as dirt given how cheap aftermarket ones are. They are a straight bolt in and vastly stronger than the 25 rods. I've seen plenty of broken RB25 rods, never seen a broken 26 rod in that type of application.

hahahahahahaha OH MAN. that is so funny. Who the hell did that?

ohhh yeah can we see some clear pics of the broken pistsons?

cheers

this is the best piston outta the 4..the worst one i left in a mates car!

but you can see the cracks pretty easy

also a picture of the bore in cyclinder 3 where the piston ringlands fell apart once the pist came out

not a mark in there

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
