Pull the head off and have a look. Can't really blame the tuner until you know what went wrong. Even then good luck having them admit fault.

Driving with twice the amount of oil it's meant to have probably didn't help anything as well

Just doesnt make sence to me bro hes bot afmitting it i hust had the car at hes garage hes saying he pulled the timing out as much as he could and had it on safest tune but 24hrs later after dyno it drops a cylinder like wtf?

6th cylinders always run hotter as it's the last to get coverd in water..

?? its the shape of the intake... more air is going into the 6th cylinder due to the intake design..which means they typically run leaner...which means hotter.

Running apexi fc 18psi hes telling me all AFRS were perfect and timing was abit morw then standard!

Hes nowing sayin a blocked cat could f*k the tune (its been punched out and cleaned when exhaust came off)

6th injector could have blocked or not working properly?

I dont get that shoukd it not show up in anyway wow or form?

Hes saying it might have just been a warn cylinder and lost pressure? Bullshit the car was knocking on the fc after the tune and ao he pulled timing on it and atill was knocking

If an injector died you would have had a mad missfire, since no fuel is going into that cylinder.

If it was partially blocked however, it would still run, just excessively lean and under full boost that means burned valves/det/f**ked engine. Do you have a wideband o2 sensor by any chance? If you do did you notice it running leaner than it should?

6th cylinders always run hotter as it's the last to get coverd in water..

More a case of the one that runs the leanest due to manifold design.

Most workshops when flow testing injectors automatically put the largest flowing one on number 6 when dealing with RB26's as a precaution......

Maybe it wasn't knocking on the dyno. If the maps were safe with no knock when he was tuning then it not really fair to blame the tuner. Sorry to hear the bad news, let us know how it goes.

The cylinder didnt die nor f**k any valves the car starts idles and drives fun with. O hesitation just loss in performance and blows smoke.

Now what does this build need for it to never happen again i am not requiring some epic 1000hp build i just want a build that will not knock from a stupid bearing and will hold 350-400kws safely to drive when i want to thats what i want!!

Forged pistons,rods and acl bearings?

The fact that it has half the compression of the other cylinders means it's pretty much dead. Rip the head off and have a look at the damage. Can't really give any meaningful advice until you know what caused the damage

Removing the head won't tell you much about ring lands, and you've seriously busted a gut working on an in-situ engine.

You did a compression test and from those results, the logical next step is a leak down test.

From those results, I think it's a safe bet you'll be pulling the engine, but you need to follow the logical trouble shooting procedures to know where you're heading.

Im pulling the motor out i took it to tuners to double check my results and he cane to the same conclusion 6th cylinder piston ring, but what he can tel is what caused it an injector? A pwer fc fault? A bogged spark plug? Spike in boost we jist dont know

Injectors can be removed, numbered and flow tested.

Carefull analasis can hint/assist towards what happened on tear down, there are lots of hints like the color for the burn in the combustion chambers and spark plugs, Det marks etc....

If you are using an RB26 manifold and no individual injector trim then cylinders 5 and 6 WILL run lean, and it will only get worse as load increases!

Was any injector trim set up in the Power FC?

Remember if you don't have individual EGT sensors, then you are tuning based on the average of all 6 cylinders, so it is still possible to get a good AFR reading when cylinders 5 and 6 are running lean.

It just means that cylinders 1-4 are running richer than they need to be, and cylinders 5 and 6 aren't rich enough, which averages out to look OK.

In my tune the tuner phased in 3% more fuel to cylinder 5 and up to 6% more fuel to cylinder 6, as revs and MGP increases!

So if you didn't have injector trim on these cylinders, then that would explain why 6 was the first cylinder to pop!

Great guys this is much help and i will explain this to my tuner once car is rebuilt and ready to go this has helped me understand rb26s more as im a 2jz man lol but thanks guys will be starting a build thread and askig for sole tips soon

I don't know much about Power FC and whether it can do injector trims per cylinder, but if you want some correction tables as a starting point let me know, and I will pull them out of my Link map.

Cheers,

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
