Hi All,

**i've posted this message in the Forced Induction forum however i think this forum is probably the better bet...

A mate has a R33 Series 1 which he has had a Series 2 block installed. However, the car now will not start. The car just doesnt seem to want to kick over.

I believe he has a set of Spitfire ignitor coils for Series 2 and he has had the wiring redone on the ignition side so it is compatible with the Series 1 setup. Was this required? would Series 1 ignitor coils in conjunction with the Series 1 ignitor pack work with the Series 2 block?

I've also heard that the wiring for the crank angle sensor needs to be re-wired as well.. is this true?

Lastly, the only things i can think of that could be causing the problem is that the crank angle sensor is faulty or the immobolizer is kicking in. My mate did have an alarm on his car, however is now not working.

So if anyone can help out, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Regards

Steve

You will need to use either the series 1 ignitor with series 1 coils or series 2 coils. I'm guessing the series 1 wiring loom was used in which case it would be easier to simply use all the series 1 sensors eg CAS, AFM etc as the plugs are different. Its a little difficult to comment further without more information on what rewiring was done.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply... My mate is using the S1 coils with S1 ignitor module.

Would i need to be using a S2 AFM? or will the S1 AFM do fine as he is using all S1 wiring, ecu etc.

In regards to the CAS, is it as easy as removing the S2 CAS and installing the S1 CAS? does it fit without problems?

Any help would be great... going to check all the above, fuel feed, sparks in the next hour.

I would use all the series 1 gear including AFM (series 1 plug wont fit on the series 2 AFM). I checked the CAS and the plug is the same for series 1 and 2, but in any case I would suggest using the series 1 CAS if you know it was working with the series 1 motor. Yes you can swap the CAS without any problems.

Let us know how you go.

Cheers

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Something to note, on an aftermarket BOV, it's quite possible to end up with the worst of both worlds, where on light throttle, there isn't enough force to open the BOV so you get small reversion and driveability issues, and with the venting to atmosphere, it dumps a lot of fuel on shifts. Realistically, dumping to atmosphere under power isn't a major driveability issues, compared to the issues of stalling from reversion. If you're getting up the throttle, then putting the clutch in, say on a shift up, but then don't release the clutch, yes, the engine can and will stall, but, just drive around it, and that's easy, let the clutch out in the next gear and the car rolling will keep it all running / going.who wants a hard hit of throttle and then to just let the motor idle anyway?   Main issue for driveability is blipping throttle and it wanting to stall, like when parking or trying to move in slow traffic.

      As in they quoted one price, you mentioned the exhaust, and they promptly added $200 on top? Interesting.

      Note that I'm not suggesting this is a great idea. Just saying that it is something that could be done to achieve a better outcome than the more shit ideas will provide.

      What's this Foreign Object?

      By luke gtr · Posted

      I'd try removing it, connecting hoses and see if that helps. Depending on specs, it could actually be restricting the flow(it also might be helping).

      Yes, that's a hybrid BOV. The adjustable spring load ones are about making teh pressure build up higher before venting, so you get a more agressive whoosh. That is not what I meant or what you want. By "restricting", I don't mean "keep it closed until the pressure is higher, then open it fully". I mean "open it as soon as it is required, but only have a small port area, so that the flow rate out of it is slowed down". The pressure will rise to be higher than a bigger ported BOV would provide, but it would do while it is venting. The idea is to slow down the rate at which the replacement eair is flowing past the AFM, to reduce the magnitude of the air flow signal peak, to reduce the amount of fuel that is added per revolution.
