Hey Guys,

Just returned my S2 RB25DET cefiro to stock. Removed PFC, Z32 AFM, Injectors, Turbo. Replaced these with stock items.

Now the car only starts with the AFM unplugged. It starts for like 1 sec with it plugged in.

I have checked:

All fuses

Swapped the AFM.

AFM wiring?

Does any body have any ideas?

Do these need to be plugged in? Hard to tell because of the engine conversion?

Is any body on here a mechanic or have the know how to come and fix it I would pay :)

Please help

Sam

ok a few quick things.

are you running a series 2 ecu and afm? i am gessing they are your old ones anyway?

second. the car requires the right signal from the AFM to keep the engine running. this signal is bypassed by the ecu during engine start by the start output of the ignition switch. that would be why it will start then dies. if you have changed back from a z32 AFM the wiring is different on the plugs than stock AFM plugs. is it possible that the wires are in the wrong pins on the stock AFM? or it is a possible faulty AFM? so try another one to make sure.

hope that helps a little.

Thanks Damo, at least that isolates the problem to the aif flow meter.

I have tried another one but I will get an ECU pin out and check the air flow meter wiring again! Can any body tell me if the air flow meter has a fuse or fusable link any where :)

Thanks in advance

Sam

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
