ok, i am running a rb226 harness on my rb25, and there are many differances, the biggest obstacle in front of me is the knock sensor harness and sensor them selves, on the rb25 the harness is intergrated into the lower harness, and they are green, on the rb26 they are black with a bolt through them, my first question can i splice my old sensors into the rb26 harness, or should i run the rb26 sensors, on top of that, does any other motor cross refence to the knock sensor harness since i do not have a rb26 harness perhaps a sr or ca ? any advice or input is apprecited, also i am running a power fc, so i know that i dont need the sensor (pfc does not retard timing like stock ecu) but i want it for the exta safety ( i have a wideband o2 as well as a egt sensor)

yeh i noticed lol

if the two sensors read the same voltage i think it would work, if u just ran theknock senors directly to the ecu, using rb25 harness, going to rb26 ecu plug

I am putting the RB26DETT head on my Neo RB25DET Block, so my plan is to swap over the upper part of the RB26 harness onto my RB25DET harness inclusive of the injectors and resistor pack and whatnot. Getting the damaged RB26DETT engine this weekend.

sounds good in theory but rb25 use 1 wire type knock sensor. rb26 run 2 wire knock sensor. gotta get my hands on wiring diagram to make sure which wire does wat.

yeah i was looking for a diagram as we speak, i hope its a power ground think since the 25 is tied into lower harness and is grounded there

yeh i was thinking along the same lines.... wasnt sure if the 26 may use individual grounds or not... tis all

yeah i know that only one wire goes to the ecu plug so i assume its a ground, any luck on wiring diagram, i do happen to have the two types of sensors on hand

waiting on a mate who has got them... not as of yet tho. i had a crazy thought of gettin the original knock sensors off the 25 and retrofitting them to the 26 block only problem is i would have to drill the block to make them fit due to the different thread size. not sure if this is even a valid option... probably not lol. if ne one else has ne ideas would be gr8 to hear.

      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?
