Well if this is the case, is it worth rebuilding or a new engine, its a rb 25 in my gts4 i have no idea is why i ask? Probably a good thing its just come out of a shop that hiflowed the injectors and did the nistune board, so I'm really shouldn't have to pay for it i reckon!

engine failure will have bugger all to do with getting a tune and injectors. it's just bad timing, so you will be stuck with the bill unless you can actually prove they caused the failure, which i highly doubt you will be able to.

is your rb25 turbo or natro? if natro, why did you bother highflowing the injectors? that is a major waste of money on a natro unless you have extensive headwork done and are putting out power close to that of a standard turbo motor. if it was because the car was leaning out then the fuel pump was the issue, not the injectors and your engine was probably already stuffed before the tune due to that.

Turbo was already hi-flowed earlier, and its just a fun car been working on over the years, but the shop its just came said there going to pay for the damage so pretty lucky there i guess. Was looking at being pretty happy around 280kw till this happened,not to sure what to do now.

if they are going to pay for the rebuild then i don't think they'll want to fork out for an expensive rebuild, so i wouldn't be suprised if they simply source a new motor. if they do rebuild it then it will be a stock rebuild, but you may be able to negotiate with them to pay the difference and use better parts.

Pretty lucky to get them to offer the rebuild, can't imagine that happens often

Edit: Mad's got a point though, they're probably not going to be putting their hearts and souls into the rebuild

say it is only one cylinder that has lost compression its worth fixing right, the place it came from is in adelaide and now the car is at a place up the gold coast so its not the same ppl, im not going to name names cause the guys in adelaide did some really good work, i'm still not even sure what has happened yet wont find out till tuesday at the earliest, but yeah prettty lucky overall!

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
