Be very patient, take your time, have plenty of WD40 or CRC for all threads.|
Anti-seize everything when you put it back together, and make sure the oil feed line is tight BEFORE you get everything back in.

Do you have access to a hoist?

Apart from the truth posted above, the following will be helpful / necessary.

  • patience
  • breaker bar with an assortment of extension bars & two uni joints (to get to top nut of dump pipe).
  • drop exhaust then 4 bolts on g'box cross member. This will lower back of engine enough to get to bolts that would otherwise look impossible.
  • you'll need a big arse spanner for the EGO sensor. I can't remember the size atm, but mine got so rounded I bought every variation I could before getting it out, & for me this was close to being the end of the project the first time.
  • May need a 'special' tool to remove a heat shield fastener or two. A cut down socket welded to a piece of flat steel bar did the trick for me. (I can post you mine if you want)
  • Also consider sticking heat shield to the body while everything is out.

Hoist would be nice but I've done it (twice) just on ramps & axle stands. My son even wrote a DIY for a school project. I should try & track it down, lol.

^ best advices!

A uni socket is very helpful with everything, o2 sensor on dump is 22mm but you may have to try a shortish shifter and pray it doesn't round if you can't get the 22 spanner to squeeze in.

Swivel head 3/8 ratchet and swivel ratchet spanners also make it easier if you can borrow some off someone

Those ^ ratchet spanners would have been very helpful. I should have mentioned my tool chest was full of spanners fashioned from tree branches & spotted tree frog legs. If my car had been put together 'finger tight' I'd have been sweet.

I guess my point is, you don't need heaps of tools, or even top notch ones, to get the job done. (but it does help)

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
