hey guys ive just replaced the rb20det in my ceffy with another 1 i got it all hooked up and started it and didnt seem to run right it sounded like the timing was out and wasnt firing properly and also pissing out black smoke so somehow to much fuel. i though it might of been an electrical fault since then i have had it at the auto electrician and he cant find any problems in the ecu or harness. the coil packs and sparkplugs are fine to. its possibly the crank angle sensor but thats all i can think of anyway

would any of u guys have an idea of wat i mean or would be able to help solve my problem?

cheers wes :D

Clean all the sensors with contact is the first thing id do and also make sure all the wiring to the sensors is done properly. get timing checked (cas should be dead centre), also find out if your acutally running rich or lean as even tho it spits black smoke it might be leaning out everywhere else.

well all the electrical is fine so im told. but yea im gonna get the timing done tommorow along with the cas. but with the black smoke it wasnt there before wen running my old rb20 and i have tryed a new afm and it made no diffirence but somehow it seems to run better with the afm unplugged :D so yea not quiet sure

32 motor or ceffy one?

you swap the things over you needed to?

um i had originally the r32 rb20 in it and swapped with another rb20 from an r32 aswell so it should run just the same as the last one shouldnt it?

all being well that is but yea it was just a basic swap

hey guys just letting u no i changed the injectors and a new fuel rail and diffirent coil packs now its doesnt seem to have spark :) maybe i havent put a plug back in properly but yea i cant see a plug that hasnt been plugged in.

so im getting fuel ok now but no spark would any1 have any ideas?

Hey mate yea ive had the ignitor swapped over to see wat was causing the problem the ignitor was good but that was about a week ago and i havent started it since so yea im thinkin possibly "cas" becuase it wont start now

cheers mate

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
