to day i did compression test for my rb25 det. its 1993 s II, 87000 km on it.

1 - 110

2 - 110

3 - 120

4- 110

5 - 120

6 - 120

if some body can say something abt this...please. im bit worry abt this

That doesn't sound too bad to me... IIRC my RB25DE (before I turboed it) read around 190PSI across the board, but I think my gauge may be reading a little high. The DET version will always have lower compression (to prevent detonation with boost)

The most important thing is that the compression is fairly even across the board. If there's one or two cylinders which are much lower than the rest, it's a good indication you've got problems.

When I broke the ring lands I had about 190PSI in the good cylinders and about 60 or so in the dead ones... I wouldn't think you've got anything to worry about.

according to rb25det nissan specs min is 130 psi and max 175 psi. and the ratio s/b 9.0 thats why i worried. i have used T&E Compression tool for test. thx any way

coz rb25det factory specs says it s/b min 130 psi and max 175 and the ratio will be 9.0. thats why... i have used T&E Compression tool. thx any way.

looks a bit lowish from memory?

I dont have a rb25 whats it sposed to be , you have one an all!

seems relativly even what sorta gauge you using ?

do you know its accurate?

why you worried?

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
