Hey guys,

Wiring up a 26/30 into my r31. Now I wired up the 25/30 I had in there previously and it was sweet.

I have the 26 loom all hooked up, the ign and ECCS relays switch on with reds on, fuel pump primes then switches off. Now the issue is that the injectors are not firing when cranking. If I take the CAS out and spin it I can hear the injectors firing fine. If I then put the CAS but in and crank the motor it will run very briefly until it runs out of fuel again. Spark is fine as it ignites the remaining fuel from when I spun the CAS.

Does anyone have any ideas? Checked spark on cranking just to be sure and its sweet. So yeah running out of ideas, bloody injectors just wont fire when cranking.

This is one of those things again which is hard to give advice on unless your right there infront of it but for those of you that have done this conv before thought it may be worth a shot.

Edit: Read on Meggala's site but that he ran s5 rx7 injectors in his r33 with just the resistor pack removed so must be all good.

Cheers.

Check the data with a scantool or watch the tacho and see if you have an rpm signal if you do then you should have both fuel and ignition pulse. If not then I would check fuses as the other side of the injectors is battery fed. It will be wried the exact same way as a rb26 - should be simple - so look for silly mistakes.

Sounds like you are losing power to your injectors under cranking check with an led test light

have to agree with rob it will deffinately be something simple......

sounds stupid but make sure the 10mm on the wiring harness of the ecu plug is tight........im an auto electrician and i chased a problem nearly identical to yours on a rb25 conversion in a R31 for about an hour only to find i forgot to do up that stupid bolt.....

Good luck.....you'll sort it out

Yeah cheers guys, rigged up a led test light last night, LED will flash strong when spinning the CAS and also whilst cranking. Just wont fire, keep checking spark and its good.

So yeah dunno. I am running rx7 s5 550's in it with the resistor pack removed. Im starting to think that the GTR ecu even with the resistor pack removed is not capable or running high imp injectors. If that was the case but I would have expected a weak LED signal. But yeah all seems to be well, have checked all the ground pin-outs at the ECU and there all good.

Those s5 550cc injectors are absolute shite - I definately wouldn't use them. If they have been sitting around then they might be a little gummed up - try putting the standard injectors back in along with the resistor pack.

yeah true that been told that they can gum up and there also shite.

Problem is I am doing a 26/30 conversion so I dont have a spare set up GTR injectors laying around. I have the resistor pack so I might have to go grab some.

One question tho someone may be able to answer, when cranking the motor should the red status LED on the ecu go out?

When cranking the motor on myn the LED will go out, then come back on again when you have stopped cranking. I thought that was unusual.

Cheers.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
