rb25det neo

there are two pipes that run underneath the waterline for the turbo.

one of them is leaking coolant .. my mechanic knows dick all about them and needs a photo of the rear of a rb25 out of a car or a blueprint or soemthing so that he knows where the water is coming from or watever.

plus i jsut pu a big f-off turbo in on the weekend and i havn't got to thrash it yet becoz of this.

SO PLEASE help!

if anyone can give me pic. or lead me in direction of soemthign i can print out to explain the water system inbetween the block and the firewall

PLz

thank you - joel.

Maybe the car doesn't want you to drive it :)

I vote you get a new mechanic who knows what he is looking at.

If you just put a new turbo on, and the coolant line to the turbo is leaking, then check the line and the fitting? you might not have connected it properly?

I think i know the line you are referring to, it runs a metal pipe off the turbo and then goes to a rubber hose behind the rocker covers, it runs to the back of the inlet manifold. If so its a little bit of a pain to get off, although it would most likely have been taken off to fit your turbo. If it is leaking from the metal part i would suggest thinking about getting a braided line made up to allow for more flex due to the different size/position of the turbo. Hope it helps.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
