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

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
