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

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
