Hi all I Hav a few problems with my car no wanting to run. I'll give u the basic run down I Hav a Rb25neo in a vl Commodore I'm using all the R33 series 1 accessorys recently I went to install a power fc jetro an had issues with it not powering up but running fine on the standard R33 ecu the issue ended up being the previous owner hacked up the old loom an bypassed the eccs an ignition relay on the loom. Now I have changed engine loom to a new one with all relay's intact the power fc an the standard ecu both power up fine now I'm getting plenty of spark my full pump is working an my injectors are working fine put the car will not fire up. I've changed the cas wiring accordingly to suit the neo cas the pinout is now 1 an 4 are swapped over an 2 an 3 are swapped I take the cas off an spin it an the injectors are clicking an the coils are sparking but the car will still not fire up. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

What.

I'm sure that I have read this badly written post before.

You are asking people to go out of their way to help you.

The least you can do is write an easily read, sensibly formatted post as a sign of respect.

Anyway, can't answer based on the info you have given.

Specs are required.

I'm sure some people can make some wild guesses for you.

Here's mine.

Injectors too big for tune in ecu.

Sorry I Thort the post was written correctly an the issue in the previous post was fixed with a new loom. As for the injectors I put the standard injectors back in it and it is still doin the same thing on the power fc an the standard ecu. I've spent the last 3 hours double an triple checking everything... and thanks Ben c34 for the links you gave me in my previous post

Yes I put the 850 denso's in it as the car is goin one E85 shortly but than it wouldn't start on them so I put the standard ones back in it an tried the standard ecu an it still wouldn't fire. One thing I did notice was the eccs relay is clicking when the ignition is turned on but the ignition relay on the loom is not clicking at all but somehow it is still getting spark...

Ok so I put new plugs in it an it started up an runs fine on the standard ecu. Now wan I plug the power fc in it trys to start but only seems like it's running on 2 cylinders, does anyone Hav an idear at what would be causing it to do this

The power fc itself is only meant to Hav a tune for 12 pound boost and standard injectors I Hav not messed or tried to play around with the setting I just need to get it running correctly to get it tuned. An the tuner is less than a km away from my my house. The tuner already told me that the power fc should Start an run the car with out a issue. Is there anything different that should be dun because the power fc is a jetro model the map sensor is all hooked up correctly

It's not a brand new computer the previous owner had the tune dun on it. I just spoke to the guy I got the fc off an he said wan it was tuned it had the afm an map sensor hooked up is the correct ? An thanks for the replays bak so far sorry if I sound like a bit of a idiot asking all these questions

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
