hi all....

I have no idea now... hoping some1 can help me,

I have just finished my 100k service (everything their is ok it turns no problem)

Installed a GT3540 on the stock manifold with external wastegate

and a greddy style plenum....

it will turn like it wants to start but it wont fire.... it has fuel and spark.

it kinda feels like an earth or vacuum leak, but i can't find anything.

what else could it be???

Thanks in advance

Josh

lol I didn't know installing a GT3540 was a part of the 100,000km service?

Not sure about you problem though? Sorry.

Maybe IAC valve? What happens if you pump the throttle a little while starting?

Nothing much... sounds like it wants to start but just doesn't go...

The GT35 is the most important part of the 100K service... LOL

So I'm asuming you did timing belt?

Timing marks could be off.

No i don't think it would be, I triple checked everything when i put it back together....

just double checking man. by its got fuel...u mean injector pulse?

i installed a 3540 and a greddy plenum.

when i went to start it I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM

what u have to do is. reverse the fuel hoses. so switch the hoses coming from the fpr with the feed hose to the rail. so swap them around

i had that problem.

very easy to overlook. make sure the hose from the fuel filter goes to the inlet for the rail NOT to the fpr

symptons were....it would crank and crank, and want to start. but it wouldnt run.

the fuel line with the fuel filter should go to the rear of the motor, the return line should come out of the reg at the front rail..

the easiest way to distinguish these........

the fuel pressure reg is always the highest point of the fuel system as not to air lock the fuel rail. this is where your return line should go.

sounds like basic stuff i know but it never hurts to check the cooler piping again, i checked mine four times before i found the leak cause my engine to hunt.

haha yea i paid 400 for a mobile mechanic to tell me my fuel lines are reversed :D.

yer man mine was running rich too. but just run the stock ecu. it runs fine.

atleast for a little while.

shud be able to putt you to the tuners, install pfc or wateva and off u go.

btw enjoy the 3540. they freaking PULL!!!

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
