are you using the ignitor module or are you earth the coils straight from the computer

There is no earth from the computer to the packs, the two wires from the computer are power and pulse the earth is on the packs. Where is the ignitor module located, I was led to believe that the LTX12 controlled all of that.

yes i know that there is not individual earths ect what i should have said was are you still using a nissan ignitor module or is the computer pulsing the coils for you????

The computer pulses the coils or is meant too, the thing is i have pulse up to the packs but no spark at the plugs, plugs are all fine, and I thought I may have wired somthing wrong somewhere.

The packs themselves have three wires earth, power and pulse the microtech LTX12 has one main power wire and individual pulse wires(one wire for each pack) but no earth. I have wired the earth to the body but to no avail and because it is an engine conversion can't look for ignitor, even though the comp is meant do all that.

Any and all ideas are welcome because I go home and try them all out.

found a diagram of the LTX12 wiring for the packs looks easy but nothing happens. Have to find way of posting it is to big.

is there an earth to the cradle that holds the coils thats also earths to the head, make sure thats there and try using the earth off the engine before using the body.... check your plugs casue if they are iridiums or anything the foul up easily and once they have been drowned ie sitting there trying to start the car they will be rooted for life they are a waste of money get some stockies and gap them down to .8mm....

Getting confusing, keep forgetting how my own computer works. There are the six wires for each individual pack (pulse) and two earth wires that join into one which was attached to the heads but i have moved to several other locations to no avail. I have even attached the earth from the packs to the computer earth, still nothing. I have tried to download the wiring diagram to the thread but it is to big, but you can check it out at, http://www.microtech-efi.com/downloads/65.pdf. Might give you some idea rather than my ranting.

is the rb25det a series 1 or series 2 motor??

series 1 have a igniter pack on the back or the coil cover .  

series 2 motors have the igniter in the coils themself's or in the comp..

you may have to get a igniter pack or module to fire the coils..

It is a series 2 the computer is supposed to ignite the packs thats why I have the LTX12 microtech computer. you can see it at, http://www.microtech-efi.com/downloads/65.pdf if you wish.

Having a closer look at that diagram, I reckon those are direct-fire coils, not coilpacks.

Instead of having a coil that fires into a distributor which then directs the spark to the appropriate plug, these are coils that fire directly to the spark plug, via a plug lead ie no distributor required, but multiple coils required.

I'd get back to Microtech and ask them how to solve the problem.

Thanks Blind_elk, this is becoming an ever increasing nightmare, the projected budget has blown out of all proportion and simply can't afford to the car on the road all the help I get is very much appreciated.

Have been told to take the packs out and send them to microtech for testing, do you know how i can test them at home before i go to that expense.

Thats right the paks are attached to the plugs and are wired direct to cpu.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
