My Rb25Det Turbo Glowing? Help!

[ARTZ]

I'll assume the water lines are hooked up correctly as per standard..

^^wouldnt make a difference, my 25 turbo doesnt even have water lines hooked up and it doesnt glow

[ARTZ]

Yeah I thought so..just checking.

[StevenCJR31]

it was a half assed conversion on my r32 by the previous owner, from what ive read on here the water lines on a rb20det turbo dont line up/fit with the lines on the rb25det turbo

[niZmO_Man]

Water lines bolted straight up to R34 turbo on my R32.

Ive checked timing alignment all sweet. Using a timing gun advancing max on Cas won't go past between 5-10 BTDC?? Which is weird when everything is mint aligned?

And without putting an aftermarket fpr and fuel rail how else can I check fuel pressure?

Really starting to piss me off ay..

[niZmO_Man]

Timing should be spot on with the CAS around the 'middle'. Check it again, make sure you don't go off the belt.

Get cylinder #1 at TDC using the screwdriver method as well as checking the markings on back plates (cams) and the crank/timing cover.

[Bigazza69]

Screwdriver method? Please explain..

All cams line up and crank / balancer lines up on tdc on the timing cover

[iruvyouskyrine]

Remove spark plug, insert screwdriver. Hand turn engine off the harmonic balancer bolt until the screwdriver reaches its highest point.

[niZmO_Man]

^ That. To add, you use cylinder #1. I use it to double-check the timing marks.

Alrighty il have a go this weekend..

also to check fuel pressure, all u need is the fuel gauge T pieced into the existing fuel lines running into the engine bay, not very expensive at all

[Bigazza69]

I thought a fuel gauge has to be after a fuel regulator?

[StevenCJR31]

nah before fpr should be okay

Then how can you be sure the fpr isn't the issue if you're reading before it? Because I could have 65 psi before the fpr and the fpr could be blocking it or something?

fuel pressure is always measured before the reg, thats where the injectors are

Thanks for everything guys turned out was a faulty CAS.. She now moves like the wind and has no problems.. What a beast of a patrol
