Well it looks like the cam belt came off, engine overheated then went POP! really i'm lucky i pulled over when i did i could of melted a rod or piston or at least something.

If i went a Rb25det what would i need to change?

Look in the NA section, there's heaps of info there.

But to be honest, I don't reckon rebuilding an NA engine is worth it.

No i don't think so either and i was going to end up dropping RB25DET in the 33

Yeah, you could always sell the other working parts from the DE engine or even some of the running gears that you might replace with the turbo parts, eg brakes, exhaust etc.

enigne, brakes, computer for engineers

and probably just change the whole rear k frame if you can afford it then you got brakes on rear and a better diff - not sure if you need to change the rears for engineers cert though.

best thing buy a halfcut and strip the shit out of it

Just got off the phone with the mechanic $2.2k for a N/A and has done about 62k

Surely that's way over price.

From what he has told me i have no compression in 5 cylinders and the valves are rooted, coils need to be replaced

Jesus Christ this turned into one expensive bloody weekend

thats only if you go rb25det

cause the computer is diff to NA one, will need the turbo brakes...at least at the front and then you have your engine

it could be done cheap if you sourched parts here and there, but a lot of farking around

then you will most likely need a diff to cause the na one wont haddle the power, which is why i suggested the k frame just unbolt the old one bolt up the new one and you will have 5 stud hubs to

For no compression in you car will be the valves, broken or whatever they always come up as 0 compression

doesnt mean that the bottom half of the engine is damaged, could just be the head needs new valves/machining etc

but you wont know until it gets pulled apart

Forgot what the town was called, but we stopped to fill up on snacks

The town is called Mansfield *sigh* Sadly, I live in it. I wish I knew you guys were in town, I would have pretended my VRX was a skyline and snuck into the cruise :P

@ Ashneel, if you come up on the next cruise, you can check out your old TH hahaha :happy: . Still running! Although, it's changed owners now.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
