Hey guys my names jason as you may have guessed i live in alice springs. I am seventeen and i just bought a MR30 Sedan a while back it's really a shit heap but not when i'm done with it i've just started putting in the new L20et i bought there were a few f up's along that way the guy that sold it to me told me it was complete but it's missing bits galore which makes the build just a little bit slower, the Car is a 1982 MR30 a Door sedan by the looks of it the original colour was that horible mint green and the dick who owned it last spray painted the exterior black and white but left the inside boot, bonnet and door jams green. Anyway before i even think bout exterior work i will finish this engine build up, a mate of mine is getting me a R34gtt Intercooler and in $700 time i will be fitting an after market exhaust to it, but for now neeto deal with the problems at hand which is currently the motor and getting the sucker going. Anyway those who r interested stay tuned to this thread for more details of the build up it should be a fairly tight street car when it's done.

Did you buy the L20ET off eBay a few months back for about $600.00? I think it was in Newcastle NSW.

No i actually bought it here in alice of a guy that owns a HR30 Twin Turbo Coupe that is fully decked out he didn't need the original engine anymore

well i was told buy this guy that gave me the engine that it would just Quote "drop in" well that is really a load of crap ive had more trouble with the transplant than i can think of we have the L20ET in there but now what i have to do is take the entire destributer of the old motor and put it on the new one but to do that we have to pull the head and everything off the old one just to take the front off anyway this had better turn out good for all the man hours me and mate have put in

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
