Hi,

I feel very stupid as heading states I hooked up fuel lines wrong way round. Just put my rb26 in my car and connected them up not thinking just so fuel didnt drip everywhere and to get them out of the way.

I hooked up wiring and fuel pump and starter, I just wanted to turn it over after rebuild, turned key to accessory and fuel pump started. meanwhile i could hear a strange pressure building noise and quickly switched it off.

very soon after i realised that fuel pressure had built and obviously couldnt get past the fuel reg and fuel passed through the injectors into the cylinders.

Q 1. are my injectors going to be okay after that sort of abuse.?

Q 2. is my fuel reg going to be okay?

Q 3. will this effect run in and the hone job on the bores or the rings themselves? (Fuel was pushed out of cylindars within half an hour.)

Q 4. Will I not know any of the above until I test each thing.

Thanks

Taylor.

I don't understand, I hooked mine up the wrong way as well once and fuel just didn't get past the reg, so how has it got into your cylinders ?

fuel shouldn't get past the reg the wrong way and pump should turn off once pressurized

I assume it pressurised the injectors so much they leaked out the tip. fuel got into the cylinders through the injector tip. fuel pump didnt switch off once pressurised it just kept pumping and filled the cylinders in seconds

on an rb26 the rails pressure reg is on the front of the rail itself before the injectors. the lines were reversed so the fuel went to all of the injectors first and stopped at the reg at the end and i assume couldnt get past the reg

Reg is definitely on return side cause it needs to regulate pressure in the rail..

so sounds like it is hooked up the right way..

So either your pump isn't switching itself off once pressurized, have your rewired it lately?

Or your injectors are stuck open for some reason..

maybe your injectors are getting voltage I dont know why this would happen

I had 90psi fuel pressure on mine and it wasn't enough to push injectors open, then again my pump would switch off..

Fuel can't get past the reg and even if it does you won't have much pressure in the rail because there is nothing to stop it running back to the tank.

The reg restricts flow back to the thank to increase pressure in the rail.

Your injectors, reg and engine will be fine.

If you're really scared and want to be sure pull the spark plugs out and crank the engine over with the cam angle sensor disconnected to clear out any fuel in the bores.

Id say more then getting the line's the wrong way you have leaking injector seals? Or the reg jammed shut over pressurising the rail causing fuel to leak past the injectors?

Everything would now have been washed of any oil on its surface. Id drain everything, leak everything open for a few days to let any fuel evaporate out then refill with oil, then crank it by hand for a while?

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
