No tyres except bald A050s, and car is broken...ditto my Sierra which I am still fixing...so no:(. All my efforts are going into Nationals and by efforts I mean money. Still, the R32 is capable of a few 0-400mtr blasts but not much more :(

your 20 finally on its way? I don't believe lol

There are some not so great signs...it boiled all its coolant and burnt about 1L of oil the the other week when it split a heater hose under the inlet manifold and overheated in peak hour on a Friday night. Changed all the coolant lines/hoses but some strange things still happening which concern me. Its now just a matter of time I think

I sold my DE+T setup to a dude with this bright orange S14 and installed it for him as part of the deal. It left me running smooth but not liking boost too much due to rat shit battery terminals and holes in his cooler pipes. I told him to fix the battery and leaks then come back so I can set the timing as his crappy voltage meant I couldnt get the timing to lock. I also investigated why his heater wouldnt work, and found it to be that his core had been looped. I told him I assume this was due to the core leaking and recommended he doesnt reconnect it.

Brings it back a week later with the problems 'fixed' and its running like a total bag of shit. Heater has been reconnected and suddenly the water pump is pissing out fluid (assume it got debris from the reconnected heater core in it and rooted a seal). Not a drop of coolant in the radiator either. Cooler pipe has duct tape covering the holes and the afm has been pieced back together with gasket goo. I do my best to look for possible issues and problems but it still runs like ass. in the end I also felt like I was mostly being blamed -_-.

Point of the story, prior to me selling that motor it was only 45ks old and ran faultlessly. One little overheat and its turned into a pig. I hope you havent done too much damage Roy :( your little RB has been heroic over the years.

Got my Kando oil feed at my desk after ordering on Fri- absolutely brilliant service even though he didn't respond to my query. Thats what I ordered and looks like what it is in the pic:

But the plastic bag has TOYOTA 1JZGTE on it haha, is it the same part/fitting for the 1JZ/RB25..? Lol. It also has the code 2000-930-821 written on plastic bag sticker/tag.

Kando says the part number for the RB25 line is 2000-930-821

so RB25 and 1JZ probably have the same oil feed thread pattern. No big deal.

But WOW what a way to get shut down LOL. ra ra ra he wont reply, ZING its at your door in 3 business days hahaha. Quality item for $41 delivered. Winning!

Yes man absolutely, no reply to my email, then next day I get a tracking no. on ebay, then couple of days later its at my desk in the morning before I am! lol

That oil feed restrictor does look tiny though, bit skeptical if its good enough as its meant for an oil and water cooled garret T3/T4 core, whereas my PTE 5558 (still T3/T4 core) is only oil cooled.. turbo blowing up from lack of enough oil? hahaah :no:

Edited by rondofj

There are 2 ways to do the oil feed for that turbo.

1: A standard 2 bolt T3/T4 fitting like what Ron has bought

2: use a 1/8 NPT male to -4AN male adapter and then the same kit Ron bought but with the 2 bolt flange removed. The 90 degree fitting at the end of the line is -4AN.

The difference between options is $10 worth of alloy NPT adapter... HOWEVER I have found those NPT fittings to be quite soft and I wouldnt want shrapnel in Rons motor at the hands of an overzealous first timer.

So option 1 it was!

lol I doubt it ron. The innards of most braided oil lines is that small anyway mate.

Keep in mind that an oil feed restrictor for BB turbos is normally half a mm (0.5mm) or similar.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • 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
    • 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.
