Comments: Motor was build around 2 years ago has everthing there needs to be done forged pistons, shot peaned rods, ARP rod bolts, stainless single turbo manifold, 48mm external waste gate, GCG 3582R (same as 3540)turbo, metal head gasket, microtec, MSD 18 volt ignition, has its own wiring harness. If going into an R32 i have stainless steel cooler piping and 600x300 cooler to go with if want at extra cost.

Motor has around 25,000ks has always ran Castrol Formula R eng oil which i change very reg, has 342BHP on 18psi which is mid boost for the last 12 months it ran 487BHP with a TA45 drag turbo on 18psi for 12 months before that so the motor has got the power if you want it. Full boost @ 3,200rpm It sounds good and strong rite thru the revs.

I want around $14,000 for this iam a little neg on the price. Iam looking for an RB26 doesnt matter if its blown up or worked off its head or a 32 gtr we can come up with a deal. PM me if you got any questions cheers.

Something just doesn't add up: The engine only made 250rwkw, using a GT35R turbo@18psi + manifold + MSD igniter. Doesn't sound right or good :P

As previous examples have shown, that set up "should" make about 350rwkw@18psi.

Do you have any dyno graphs?

Yeh i do have graphs. They do say 342hp on 18psi its dumped on its guts with coilovers but dont have camber arms we couldnt get much traction after around 5,000rpm. Hey look you are dead write about the combo it should make shit loads more on the same day a mate of mine has the same set up in the same car same built motor and it made 450hp on 18psi. He has camber arms so he has 0 camber and nice wide tyres. But hey i put thats price up there as a starting price i did say i was neg abit it ows me alot and i wanted to see what sort of response id get. If someone offers me good money then maybe ill sell. Id like to no what you think its worth cause if its not what i want then ill just keep it doesnt realy bother me. Cheers

What i think its worth?

About half the asking price mate in all honesty.

Having sold a full built set-up myself in the past (and a couple of mates have also), you wont see anywhere 14k for a motor with pistons and a big turbo :P

    • 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.
