hey guys and girls,

i am having a few problems with my rb20det.

first off i recently been haing problems with it starting when hot. say i come off the highway, get home, let in wind down and turn it off. when i come back 5 mins later it just cranks over and over and wont start, sometimes if you pump it, it will start then die again. i dont know what it could be, i checked the spark plugs, coil packs, and air flow meter. they all seem to be fine (tried them on another car to confirm).

anyone know what it could be?

second,

this might be causing my first problem though i am not sure,

i seem to be getting alot of oil in my catch can. i mean alot, i almost filled the thing in one day.

what would cause this? i have been told rb's are known for doing this, but i didnt think it was that much oil.

any help would be awesome

thanks roger

there i helped people read it.

yeah my spelling and typing isnt the best...i'll try to keep decent..

umm all i have done in mods is front mount and fuel pump..

i did do a search and it came up wif.. to check plugs / coild packs and afm for not starting...

and if my rings wear gone wouldnt throw lots of wite / blue smoke out the zorst.?

cheers roger

Edited by regor

a compression test wont be nearly as useful as a leak down test - get both done and then you will know, but when my old CA18 started filling up the catch can and FMIC pipes i knew the rings were gone

rb20 motor is cheap as chips anyway ~ 1k

    • 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. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
