Blew my engine!!! 2 laps and it started making a rattling sound, went for one more and it was so down on power and was clunking like anything. Pulled plugs out, cyls 1 and 2 had no compression and oil pressure is at 7bar on idle :) What is odd though is it still idles fine.

Suspected spun bearing and possibly screwed rings and/or pistons

Either way, goin RB25 now, so should be nice :) One day, when i finally get it done...

Flick: Yeah, I remember you sayin hi, I thought it was you. I was a little angry at that point... :stupid:

Ash: I have thought long and hard about it, it's just the problem of finding the suitable head... (I'm lazy, I want the R32 one that bolts straight on :P) And I cant wait around for one to pop up as it's my daily driver and I need it back on the street! :)

ye thats true! I definitley wouldn't put the 33 head on the rb30 if it was going in a 32, defintely too much hassle!

25's are a great motor for the 32 especially for drift as simon, lindo etc have shown!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
