If I pull the head off what would I be looking for? Like detonation and symptoms? Cheers, also it's hit adjustable cam gears etc, can these parts be salvaged for another rb?

um...when you say its hit adjustable cam gears....what are you meaning?

Given cylinder 5 has 0 comp and 4 has only 15psi there is no way on this side on gods good green earth you will be putting those pistons backin with just new rings, if your lucky you will be able to bore out the damage at 40thuo either way at best you will be up for over sized pistons rings HG etc etc, and really why would build a motor and not pay the extra for forged items, suddenly $1500-$2000 for a good condition motor will be cheaper and then can be resold once forged motor built

My last 32 motor had 30psi in cylinder 5 and there was 1cm of the ringlands just gone and a scratch on the bore that wouldn't come out, my guess to get 0psi then he has had the piston and valve come together

Also the fact that he asked if the cam gears can be reused is a sign he is a complete nooob, so another reason why a rebuild would be a bad option.

Noob to skyline scene, yes kind of, I have previously owned a na r31,

I'm not really interested in doing any machine work to this engine at the moment as cash is tight, thinking I'm just going to drop in a wrecker for now aslong as I can find a decent one, as for a rebuild I was wondering iffy adjustable cam gears could be damaged at all from the engines current issues? Yes I'm a noob but I have worked on a lot of cars and as it's a daily drifter one day dedicated, I've been looking into building a 25/30, if my top end just needs a rebuild. But all with time to come, I'll get some pic's up as soon as I can. All the suspensions set up already it's just the engine left

I had a similar issue years ago and it was a f**ked couple of gaskets. Check for leaks

Do you remover anything specific? A mate has a r33 gtr and reckoned it at popped a couple valve stem seals, if it had could this cause low comp?

Before jumping the gun, pull the head off and take a look, it could just be the head gasket blown between 4 and 5 which would explain little to no compression between 2 adjoining cylinders.

If Head gasket looks OK around the sealing ring, look at the bore, if that looks OK start pulling pistons and inspecting them.

Ok will do and I'll grab some photo's to report back,

Quick question guys while I was pulling stuff to get the head out I noticed my rocker covers are held down by Phillips head screws? I've done many gasket changes before but never have I seen Phillips head screws used for any particular part of an engine besides clamps etc, are rb's like this standard, I wouldn't imagine so but not 100% sure, I pulled the paper work I got with it and it's say all the bolts where replaced at a shop in seven hills, but why would they use Philips heads instead of 8mm hex heads for the rocker covers?

Okay guys taken some time but have finally gotten around to pulling the head off today, all the pistons except for 3 look in decent condition, 3 has marks on ether side of the piston but no visible marks to the bore, all the valves seam to be fine haven't pulled them put to inspect yet tho. I'll try post some pics up

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
