hey guys

i have a rb26 it has 700cc injectors power fc rb25 afms ect.. i had hks gtss turbos on it before i took the turbos off to upgrade the car was tuned and running fine not one miss ect... now ive installed twin high mount td05s and it wont start, in know it wont run perfect if if was to start but it wont start? could it be the plugs? theres no spark coming from the plugs but theres none from the coil packs either?

If your not getting any spark then you need to check why, that will be your problem.

When i first started my Silvia after rebuilding the engine it took a bit before it started and actually ran nicely as the inlet manifold had been sitting around all that time and i hadn't cleaned the injectors, (lazy i know) so i presumed that was the reason why as it could of had some stale fuel in there,

But if your not getting any spark you need to find out why first check all your connectors etc

As above, check that the crank angle sensor is working (test it out of the car to see if you can get spark). Obviously check that everything is plugged in, but start at the CAS and work your way back towards the ECU. Make sure you have fuel etc.

Yeah mate, if you're not getting spark you're never going to start the engine =P as the previous kids mentioned check the loom and connections, also check the grounding on the loom. If you have an ignitor module check that. Bust out the multimeter and check that you are getting power and signal properly to the pins back to the ecu if need be, you gotta find out why. Obviously check the ignition =P

As there's no spark from the coils it means it's not the plugs too, it's at or most likely before the coils (before if all coils aren't firing pretty much)

Good luck!

ok just quick question i pulled the coil packs out and put the spark plug in the coil and grounded the plug and no spark (not sure if stuff plug or no spark) but when cranking it if i look into the coil pack should there be spark coming from them even tho its not grounded and no plug?

The plug should be near a ground metal and when you crank it there should be spark from the plug not form the coil. If no spark , plugs can be bad and also check your coils to.

given youve done a lot of work, check the basics

check all wires and sensors, check all basic engine functions, check power, check plugs etc

check ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK on the hand controller for sensors with black names (highlighted)

after you;ve done all that, run a re-check of everything and then isolate

air, fuel, spark

if you have all 3 it should start and crank over

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
