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.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
