Rb25neo R32 Wont Start


Recommended Posts

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

    • G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.
    • It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too      
    • Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus. 
    • Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks 
    • Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
