i just finished putting an rb25neo from a stagea into my r32.

i did a rough wiring job just to get the car started

im getting spark, fuel and the injectors are pulsing.

all timing marks on the belt are lined up and the engine has good compression.

but it wont start.

what could be the problem?

timing?

how can i tell if there is any fuel getting to the cylinders?

***im not sure about the compression readings

first three cylinders showed 1.115, 2.110 and 3.105psi. i know this is very low but the car should still start.

i couldnt get any accurate readings for other three cylinders. 4th showed 80psi and 5th showed 60psi.

then i went back to the first cylinder and it showed 60psi?????

im waiting for my battery to charge up. could a bad/flat battery be why im getting these readings?

thanks

Yeh those readings sound really off. I just completed a compression test on my skyline and got 157 across the board (rb25det) which is what yours should be close to.

THe manual for the engine says that the limit is 0.9Mpa on the rb25det which is 130psi and factory is 175psi.

Another problem is that the engine is ment to be warm when performing a compression test.

im not gettting constistent readings.

first test showed 115,110,105, 80 and 60 for the first five cylinders. then i tried again on the first and it only showed 60psi.

this was done on a cold engine.

im pretty sure its not the engine.

how can i tell if the cylinders are getting fuel?

put a fuel pressure gauge on it (makes sure it is at least 40 psi) then put a hose on the injector (other end to your ear) you should hear it clicking, another way is to check with a multimeter.

i can hear the injectors clicking when i turn the CAS.

does that mean they injecting fuel?

what do i put the fuel pressure guage on?

what would happen if i put a little fuel into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and tried starting it?

if it sounds like its firing then i guess im not getting any fuel to the cylinders.

would this work?

thanks

    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
    • Hello everyone, I am happy to join you.
    • Whereabouts are you, that looks exactly like Akira's old car....
