hey,

tried posting before but for some reason it didnt post,

so, basically cant b bothered writing everything i wrote before,

But i finally finished my rb25 conversion into my r32, i tried to start it and it cranked over fine, it didnt run thought as i believe the timing is right out and it may only fire once or twice before it dies, the cas plug was facing towards the turbo side of engine, i was told it had to face the other way, so i switched the cas around so it look like all my other rb engines, i started in the middle and then moved all way to left then all the way to the right,

same thing happened,

so i was thinking maybe the cas is stuffed, which is why it was facing the wrong way cause its reading different?

but then i was like i will do a ecu test, i got the ecu off a person on this forum and was told it was a series 2 cpu, i went to do a code test and there was no light or no screw to turn,

what is with this?

i have a series 1 cpu (i think) can give codes of both ecu's,

series 1 does ahve the light etc... will this run my car fine? ive heard they have different fuel maps etc...

anyways if some1 can give me any info that would be good,

Thanks

JV

dunno if this will help you, but your better off wiring the rb25 loom in and using a power fc ecu

wiring will cost you somewhere around $500 ish and pfc $12-1400, but believe me your much better off. when i did the conversion it was either wire it up to the old ecu and keep her stock for awhile before changing to PFC, or forking it out str8 up and getting PFC done when the engine was in.

i opted to do the PFC all the way and it worked out much much better. saves alot of headf*ks down teh track.

good luck with it

Is your new engine a S1 or S2 (does it have the ignitor unit on the rocker covers)? That will determine which ECU will run the engine.

Is the CAS aligned correctly with the exhaust cam?

Have you got fuel pressure at the rail?

hey man,

engine is a series 2 from a stagea, what to do mean by cas aligned correctly with exhaust cam? do you mean is it set to 15 degrees timing or what ever? if so then no, i just put the cas in and started it in the middle of the bolt pattern,

i should have fuel pressure but havnt double checked, the only reason it may not have fuel pressure would be if i had it hooked up the wrong way, but as it primes every tiome and doesnt stop from to much pressure im sure its the right way around,

and to the guy saying use a series 2 loom, i am, i had a series 2 loom mopdified for the r32, cost me $350, and im not going to buy a power fc, i want everything stock, power fc will cost $1400, then $600 to tune, im not getting paid all next year so i need to save my money, plus, power fc wont help with the problem im having aat the moment,

Then I don't think a S1 ECU will work it.

You can't "just put the CAS in". The CAS has a half-moon key to align it to a matching half-moon in the end of the exhaust cam. There have been SO MANY threads on this problem.

HAHa shit well, i bet thats what ive done, any link to thread? i will have a search for it,

Cheers mate

ok so i did a ecu test with the other ecu i have, came back code 55 so everything is fine,

i pulled the cas out and had a look at that moon key as was spoekn about, lined it up and put it in, still have the same problem but the car will start up but run like shit, is there any chance that the cas could still be off? like the moon key doesnt look like it is the perfect fit (edge on edge) so there could be room for movement and i might of gone a tooth to far maybe?

i still think its cas related, any extra help would be great thanks, im not workinging friday either, so i will have time to sort it out,

will give some cash to if they can come and fix it if i dont :D

You can only line up the CAS one way - assuming the key in the end of the exhaust cam hasn't broken off (which is the usual cause of problems).

At least it's running now. Did you get the injectors cleaned before you installed the engine? Check that each coil is firing.

well no its not really running at all, i wouldnt call it running, its not even close to been normal, so as the moon key wasnt broken it was was installed right the first time, havnt had injectors clean but i dont think this is the problem,

dont kno about the coils either,

hey,

ok so ive fixed the car :D after 4 months of screwing around with this damn car its finally running,

the problem was a big vacuum leak, the brake master to plenum, damn i feel dumb haha, but atleast it was a easy fix, it just didnt make sense,

anyways cheers for the input,

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
