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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
