Hey guys have an rb25 neo.

The problem is it won't idle, feels like its lost all power.

Misfiring like no tomorrow from word go.

It's a fully built motor adjustable cam gears VCT etc.

So far..

I've changed plugs changed coil packs.

Checked harness injectors etc still no luck.

Readings from compression test:

1 50

2 51

3 50

4 50

5 49

6 53

Could the timing have jumped out and cause such low compression ?

It's also running a 2 mil steel head gasket.

thats way too low.. does it go up when you do a warm test? i spose its hard to tell if it doesnt even run.

has it been like this since it was built? have the correct pistons etc been used to work out the CR?


Do a leak down test also

Literally got it off the dyno a week and a half ago didn't miss a bear then threw an intercooler pipe off the cold side of turbo then ever since then all over the place misfiring.

Never missed a beat previously.

Motor since build has only done 20,000 tops. Doesn't get molestered either always roll on power.

When car warms up it manages to hold idle.

Still missing and gutless as all hell when accelerating but can idle.

Tried posting photos of cam gears and alignment but won't allow me to through app ...

I second that a Leak Down test would be in order.

Low compression highlights a possible leak, whether it be the valves, pistons or headgasket etc.

I put my second hand engine through a leak down test at the workshop for assurance before purchasing. It's a quick affair, and relatively cheap.

Sorry guys been hectic at work will be doing it all on Saturday correct timing first tdc compression test theneak down and hope like hell compression returns..

Definitely will post results

Yea it was freshly dyno'd as I had to fix turbo gasket. Just downloaded software for vipec and hooked in.

The tuned advanced way to far. About 6 degrees advanced basically the whole way very odd

  • 3 weeks later...

Sorry bout the late update so timing and everything's was fine.

So did a hit more hunting could not hear the click of the vct module. Found it had blown.

Replaced it and wow she's alive..

Positive things found out from jhh engineering and a few other people responsible for building this my compression is 110 which returned.

Put it back on the Dyno with a bit more boost and at 18 pound it made 518whp.

So now changing it to e85 and upgrading the supporting fuel mods.

Should be interesting.

Thank you so much to everyone's comments and suggestions.

Hopefully can create a log of my journey from unleaded to e85 (flex fuel)

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
