Hey all,

Currently building up the rb20 a bit.

So far ive put on a new turbo, GTR injectors, and afjustable cam gears.

Ive also had a new exhaust made up for the turbo.

The problem i have is, i tried cranking it over last week and i had nothing.

I did a bit of research and realised i had put the fuel hoses round the wrong way, which i have heard is a common mistake.

i have fixed that and thought i would try crank it over again....

It cranks a couple of time and then all of a sudden feels like there is something stopping the cranking.... like its pushing against the starter motor.

All the lights on the dash go dim like its really struggling.

All i have changed since it started cranking bad is the new exhaust and the fuel lines.

Has anyone come across a problem like this? any thoughts?

Hi Guys,

Yup, all cranks fine no problems at all... then all of a sudden struggles.

Then if a give it a second and try again i have the same problem.

I must admit i havent checked the spark or the injector pulse as yet.

How do you check injector pulse?

did you put the gtr resistor pack in?

sounds like maybe the bigger injectors are flooding the cyls maybe

try taking the plugs out and cranking, see if anything shoots out too?

if it cranks and stops even with no plugs in then its the starter motor

Stock ECU at the moment....will be getting the nistune put in this week

I assumed you had a ECU setup and configured for the injectors... Silly me!

I wouldn't be trying to start a motor with injectors it is not tuned and configured for.

I'd be surprised if it fired @ all to be honest.

Hi guys,

nope i honestly didnt think it would start myself but i thought it was worth a try.

It goes to the tuners tomorrow and i was hoping if i could just get some kind of life out of it i would be happy.

My thoughts are its flooding like to no tomorrow.

Ill take it to the tuners tomorrow and hope that there is no problems!

Thanks all.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
