Yeh guys, will be wiring in the standard LS1 harness with com port, Have HP tuner software, similar to LS1 edit.

would you use standard ECU but with LS1 edit - mafless tune?

Sounds like a beast bezerk!

Got more photos?

wasnt planning on registering this one, especially now that i have sold alot of the interior parts off, also might be a little hard to engineer when you have upgraded fom 2 litre too 5.7 litre engine & 8 point roll cage. Ive also purchased a seat, harness and window net that dont really lend them selves to street driving. i was just planning on using it on the track. Between supersprints, hillclimbs, powercruise, drags and maybe some sliding, she'll get plenty of use.

As 4 another one, w'ell see how this one turns out first. but i cant see why not.

do you plan on registering for road use?

And when your finished,think you'll be up for another 1:)

I think an alloy indy maxx mopar block is more respectfull, twin turbo'd one of those in street trim does low 8's in a 69 dodge charger / sherman tank. Drives to and from the track for good measure. I am trying to convince my brother to lean this way with the 69 charger we are restoring at the moment, admittedly it's a few dollars to do.

At least the alloy V8's like the LS1 and above are lighter than an RB block.

Absolutely. Only it's going to be one of those very long builds, it's slowly getting there at the moment.

No probs mate. If you can grab me some high res in the build type shots i'll run them in the appropriate section of the mag.

I've been after some WA in the build stuff for a while.

Thanks mate, just read ur thread, it gave me that added confidence in the decision to put the v8 in. Im keen to drive it and do a few passes but more keen to throw it around the track. Just got my hands on some fly-cut pistons as to run a more agressive camshaft grind so looks like im splitting the engine. Going to deck the heads and block to get the comp up to around 11:1, just clean the heads up a little. New set of valve springs and roller rockers and shes ready. Purchased some 42lb injectors from the States recently, probably look for an intake aswell seeing that our dollar is so good at the moment. hoping to make high 300kw at the tyres.

Buddy ur my new best friend!! haha, sounds awesome, bringing it to the bank when its done be good to go down the strip together, really turn some heads :)

The first problem in making a reliable skyline is the use of a Chevy.

To do it right you need a Ford.

A turbo happy enigine that with the right spark can run 1000 street hp bone stock. Thoes are the 96' up Ford Modular 4.6 and 5.4 allong with their new Boss 302 block rated for over 1000 nitrous or boosted hp. Though i dont have the same respect for the brand new motors as their aluminum and we all know why we hate the R35 and sr20's.

Atleast it's being modified. I live in a muscle car town with no improrts you'll ever see. The word Corvette and Mustang mean an embarasement for their displacement when an stock boosted 89 japanese 2L whops their LS1 or other small block ass. I've gotten allot of pissed off looks from guys as a jam it into 3rd and start making distance with a 4" exaust tip laughing at them. Best race i've ever had was with a 78 firebird running a freshly rebuilt 400ci with all the bolt ons, i just crept by from mid 3rd gear and he laughed at me saying "it took enough nitrous to run a hospital to get by me(him)" and i also laughed and said that was just a bone stock 2L on stock boost. He never said a thing after that and is always eyes ahead every time i see him.

The Ford blocks might be capable of taking 1000hp but the rotating assembly and heads sure as shit wont. At least not "1000 street hp bone stock"

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
