My car seems to be having some serious issues here

Was driving to the drags one evening and it suddenly just stopped working

(thank god it didnt happen on the drag strip)

It refused to start even when my friend helped me to jump start it

Towed it to the workshop and they told me they had spark but the injectors seems to be flooding the engine and the only thing they could think of is the ECU is ****ed. The workshop is going to be closed for the weekend so they said they'll test the ECU on monday

Recently before the incident Ive been having problems starting the car

sometimes I had to put some gas into it before it would crank over

and also a few days before I had a bosch 910 installed without a FPR

and exhaust cam gear set to 4Deg retard

So any ideas?

just incase it maters my car is a 1996 R33 Series II Auto

Here's the list of mods I currently have

S-AFCII

Profec B boost controller

Bosch 910 (no FPR)

HKS Exhaust Cam gear

Trust Cat-back

SS high flow cat

Front pipe

Trust V-SPL intercooler

Apexi Air Filter

cheers

I dont think you need a FPR...

Could be stuffed injector stuck open... be carely that you havent filled you cylinder/s with fuel and may have compression locked your motor .... pull the dip stick out and check to see if it smells like fuel??? It s not a common thing - but it does happen, trust me ;-<

Dan

Pump the throttle???

1. efi cars are ment to be started with the foot off of the throttle

2. would pumping the throttle actually do anything?? - its not like an old carby that opens up secondary squirters when pumped.

3. when you said you had a pump installed without a FPR, do you mean you removed the standatd/afrermarket FPR on the fuel reguator? if so why??

4. This may not explain why it flooded, but it indicates a few problems.

well it wont start with or without throttle

and the standard FPR is still there

When I installed the fuel pump my workshop said it might blow the standard FPR because of overpressure. How does that make sense? doesnt the FPR control the pressure?

IMACUL8:

checked out that possibility as well but its not compression lock

but havent checked the injectors though

If the engine is "flooded", you need to try and start with the "pedal to the metal" - this is to allow as much air as possible in to help ignite the fuel. DO NOT pump the throttle - that only adds "acceleration" fuel, and worsens the situation.

If the CAS was crook, you would not have spark.

I have been running the standard FPR in my 32 with a Bosch pump, and no problems encountered for nearly 2 years.

Can you hear the injectors working when trying to start the engine?

You are probably going to have to pull the injectors, so arrange to get them cleaned while they are out.

BACK ON THE ROAD!

turns out the CAS was electronically alive but mechanically dead!

and the little stick at the end of the cam shaft had snapped

oh well got HKS 256 in there now

when the engine is warm the cams are kinna noisy

is this normal?

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
