Hey guys,

Almost done removing the turbo's of an RB26, done it all myself to this point, proven quite painfull...

Question is, in order to drop the front turbo down, to get access to the lower manifold bolts i need to either move or undo the a/c line.. unless there is another way around this i havn't seen? I've got some pics attached of what it all looks like, any advice on where to move forward would be awesome! Thanks.

is it only that bolt mount fouling? I'm pretty sure it will bend that much easily.

having said that I've never done turbos off a gtr with ac....

Well from what i can tell its only that one, the back of the turbo seems to move fairly freely. It isn't overly flexible, if i undo the main bolt and twist it then it will move but makes some hissing sounds as the gas escapes a little... lol

no just leave it bolted in and lever it out of the way. only needs to move a few mm by the looks of it.

btw don't you have further issues ahead? I'm pretty sure you need to remove rear turbo first or undo the oil and water line from the block (which is a bastard to put back later)

Get that back turbo out first from underneath - you do not need to slacken off the rear manifold.

The front turbo dump will be restricted by the rear turbo. Once it is out you will be able to play with angles a bit more.

You may first need to slacken off the front manifold (have been told you can do it without which I can believe after finishing the job).

Once I had everything slackened off and the rear turbo out I was able to angle the front turbo down past the AC.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
