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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
