so everythings hooked up

I have

Spark'

Fuel

Air

compression 140-150 (cold comp test) across all 6

but the car wont start it cranks over and pops out the pod but doesnt run

I have brand new coil packs and spark plugs

20L of brand new 95 fuel with octane booster so 105ron

only thing I can think of is the advanced timing on the cas is out any ideas

engine is a rb25det neo in an r32 with lots of bolt ons

should be able to run without the CAS plugged in, should just show engine light, but your bolt on's might be the problem. have you checked everything is in 100% working order? when i did a conversion i found out that my injectors werent getting enough juice so was starving on fuel, still got bit of fuel, but not enough to run.

coilpacks get enough voltage??? or even putting out enough for a big enough spark?

Weird ive always been told you have to have the cas plugged in to start

my injectors are the stock neo injectors in a greedy plenum with a top feed fuel rail and then a tomei fpr the spark plugs are covered in fuel when I take them out so don't think thats the issue but could be wrong

I have brand new plugs gapped at 0.8mm with dsr coils and have pulled each one out and checked the spark it seems fine to me

maybe my injectors arent mounted properly I had issue when fitting them will look again

Unless the engine is seriously modified, it shouldn't need a 0.8 spark gap. Try opening the gap out a bit, maybe 1mm.

If the plugs are coming out "wet", then it is obvious fuel is getting into the cylinders. Make sure you dry them off before re-fitting them.

Try starting with a bit of throttle - let some air in to match the apparent additional fuel. Also, try starting while slowly adjusting the CAS (if you suspect the CAS might be mis-adjusted).

Have you checked the fuel pressure that the fpr is delivering?

I'm having a similar problem on my series 1 rb25 in my r32. Everything is good such as fuel, spark and compression and timing. But all It does is back fire when I try and start it. A mechanic suggested the battery might not be good enough. I trickle charged it for 24 hours but still no go. The battery is about 5 years old though and has been relocated to the boot

Is say its coil pack related. Have u teasted spark?? Checked the fuel is flowing? Theres a trick with twisting the cas whilst ignition is on to hear ur inj firing. I had fuel lines wrong way round once, obviously didnt fire

yep i have spark on all 6, and good compression on all 6. got a new battery cos the one i had wasnt the best. It sounds a lot better and closer to starting now, but its just not getting there. all injectors are working and tested and i have my fuel lines around the right way.

starting to get frustrated :(

Spoke to my mechanic poping out the pod filter is timing out and poping out the exhaughst is tuning eg unburnt petrol hitting the hot exhaughst he had an mr2 with the problem and actually showed me it was actually intresting

well i got my car to start just now. I turned the CAS pin 90 degrees cranked and she fired right up. Now onto the next problem. when i start it it just revs up hard with out my pushing the pedal at all. I loosened the throttle cable so its loose but it still keeps doing it. Any ideas?

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
