Hey all

well ive installed GTR injectors and these resistors

click

which have the same function as a gtr resistor pack.....

got a retuned ecu, for the injectors and plugged the z32 afm in which it is all tuned for...

the pump primes, the fuel rail has fuel in it.. but she just wont spring into life..

i have checked and rechecked everything!, installed it twice because i checked all the wiring... those resistors have the same function as the gtr resistor pack...

reset the ecu.. EVERYTHING...

anyone at all got any ideas on why she wont start? been working on it for 2 days now and ill have to remove the gtr injectors and put stockies back in if it keeps on like this!

Thanks

Ed

Fuel + spark + cranking = start.....hence the usual questions;

Does it have spark?

Is there unburnt fuel on the spark plugs after cranking?

Is the ignition timing correct (timing light)?

>_< cheers >_<

changed the sparkies the other day and drove it no problem

didnt touch anything except change the injectors and add resistors....

didnt touch ignition timing from when i drove it last.....

its gotta be a problem with the injectors!

i put them on the 12v wire, the one that has one common and splits for each injector as seen in roys diy....

i need someone else here, isnt the best way to put a screwdriver to the injector and listen through that?

i really think they arent firing for some reason

I'm with SK on this one. If he doesn't know the answer, then there isn't an answer.

Stupid Q - are the fuel lines on the right way around?

i was stressing that they werent because i didnt know the fuel ran from the back of the rail to the front... but ive checked engine bay pics on my computer to how i have it today and they are fine.....

im going to wait for another set of hands and check spark and make sure the injectors are spitting..... but i cant do that alone

ok pretty sure the injectors arent going

reason being is i disconnected the fuel rail and tried to test them by myself and they kept blowing off the fuel rail so hence alot of fuel got down the injector hole......

i went to crank it and it sprung to life briefly

now if ive wired the resistors correctly and installed the injectors right why arent the injectors firing?

CEF11E did the exact same thing on his rb20 and it worked, he was the one that told me to get the resistors

I know it sounds simple, but;

Have you chucked the stock ecu back in and tried it?

With a z32 and bigger injectors on stock ecu it will still fire, possibly even run (badly). You should probably confirm that your afm wiring is correct aswell.

You've changed, injectors, ecu and afm. You haven't checked anything but injectors from what i've read.

Oh, and if it's a daughter board, check that it hasn't slipped out of the socket. Seen it happen on s13's.

ive tried all the combos, at the moment the rb20 afm and my old (not stock) ecu is back in there..

as it should run the gtr injectors but will just run dangerously lean in the top rev range...

the cradle is firmly soldered in there and the chip is simple to change no problems there...

wired up the afm according to a diy, but left the old plug on there so i could change it if i needed to.....

maybe there is too much resistance and the injectors arent getting enough power?

still waiting for a mate to come over and crank it while i miltimeter it

Ed, do you have an alarm that could be interfering with the injector pulse from the ECU ?

sounds silly, but an option to look into, as when i coverted my shit box lancer to manual i changed over to the manual ECU - but didnt work, spent forever tesing it to find the injectors not spraying - turned out the the chip runs from the ECU and this is the fuel cut - swapped to auto ECU and worked

Resistence is meassured in Ohms, I don't see any Ohms on that spec list. They should be around 10 Ohms, best to check measure them with a multimeter.

:blink: Cheers :)

when tested with a miltimeter they read between 67-69

ive prob had it at a too high setting and there should be a decimal point in between there

a little off 10ohms, but not that far....

ive been told they are " 6 wire wound 10 watt 6.8ohm resistors"

chris, i think my alarm cuts the engine in other ways, although something to check for...

smokey should be here in 20 to help me when i pull the injectors out and see if they are firing and also test the resistance......

The GTR resistor pack measures up from memory low 5 ohms, the 280ZX and MR30 resistor packs measure up in the high 5's; up to 10ohm resistors won't cause a problem as they have been used in the past without issues.

Rip the CAS out and leave it connected, turn the ignition to the on position and spin the cas while listening for the injectors.

Spin it obviously in the same direction the motor would turn.

As others have said.. Ensure the fuel lines are the correct way around. Double check your Z32 wiring and last of all double check your ecu.

yeah i used a spare fuel rail and injectors i had to check they were firing.

is any fuel coming out of the fuel pressure Reg when your trying to start it? also if the fuel spits at you when you take the hose off the FPR then the lines are around the worng way :wave:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
