hey everyone

Alright so the last week or so i have been getting a rb25det installed into my r32 gts-t, everything has been going fine in the conversion however there is one problem i have run into and that is the engine wont turn off. i do have a turbo timer (apexi pen) however i set that to off mode and yet after taking the key out off the ignition the car seems to keep running for 5-10 seconds and then turns off.

Would any body be able to give me some ideas into what i could check for, could it be something to do with the wiring? we used a rb25 ecu as the engine is a S2 rb25det with vct.

If any one could help or has run into the same issue before please let me know.

Cheers, Niran

Seeing as you've dropped a new engine in, I doubt this is the problem, but is there an alarm/immobiliser installed?

Some mongoose ones have built-in turbo timers that you wouldn't even realise are switched on, until you go to turn the car off..... and it stays on.... lol

dare say the turbo timer is still an issue, remove it or disconnect it fully and see how that goes.

hey man, will keep going through wires i doubt its that as i had the same one on the rb20 engine and when put on "off" mode it would turn car off as soon as the key was taken out

really, im not to sure exactly what one i have but i will look into that.. however this never happened with the rb20?? is there something that could have caused this to happen?

how does the car turn off? is it an instant click and its off? or does it die down and kind of stall?

im glad you asked that, its a die down stall so basically its running then starts to stall and stop

sounds like something is backfeeding into your ingition, check all of your wiring as well as your earth points in the engine bay.

it could be your alternator or (most likely) another accessory that stays on 5sec after you turn the key off. stay in the car and switch it off, keep an eye/ear out for accessories (deck, lights, electric fans etc..) that stay on while the car is on, and turn off at the same time.

see if you can track it down that way.

is there anything special you've added to the car like electric fans? or is it a straight swap with nothing extra added?

hey man will try all this

was an upgraded fuel pump added/modified?

yes there was, we had a bit off problems with it from the start when trying to get it started, i have a r32 gtr fuel pump installed that then has been re-wired using the original fuel pump 12v as a trigger switch to run the new relay that feeds power straight from the battery so it gets 13.8 v constantly..

however this set up was run in the rb20 also, do you reckon this could be the problem?

i sure do.

use the standard 12v as your +ve terminal and see if it shuts off instantly. if it does, your relay is whats causing it to stay on.

awesome thanks man, will go to the workshop and try it out

      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

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
