Nice to meet you to Mick!!!

yeah I got caught in the act of buying all this.......... cos racecar!!!

and thought it might be an idea to buy a surge tank whilst I was getting other bits and pieces.

lets just say I'll be eating cardboard for the next few weeks!!!

hopefully have almost sorted out the boost issues will finish putting in the new solenoids tomorrow and test her out!!! :)

ended up replacing the whole blackbox of 7 solenoids and 2 green solenoids as one was brittle and broke and I now have pressure in the vacuum system!!! but I'm still not getting secondary boost so first point of call is to check I'm getting vacuum in the vacuum system (separate from the pressure side of the vacuum system)

The system is so complex its a challenge to get my head around it.
The turbo control solenoid uses both vacuum and pressure to operate properly, if not then it wont transition effectively. so I need to see if the "charge control actuator" and the "turbo control actuator" are moving then it means I have vacuum and the solenoid is faulty. The charge control solenoid was in the blackbox so that should be fine! so if that's working correctly I'll see the "double throttle control" actuator moving also.

so much to check and make sure its operating correctly but I'm happy I'm getting on top of it!!!

here are a couple of pic's to show the head f*ck LOL

That's the thing Brett apparently a twin turbo FD with 280kw will blow any single turbo FD away even if it has 400+kw and some guys are pushing 345kw (537nm @ 5200rpm) out of the twins.

So if I get all the vacuum system and solenoids replaced which I'm over halfway already with fault finding then it'll be good for another 12-15years (and with a vented bonnet maybe longer as there isn't as much heat in the engine bay.)

You hear so many different stories and people are trying to push there own parts ETC but apparently all the FD race stuff ie: Spirit R or Bathurst R are the best items with the least problems but then some guys swear by the single turbo setups.

Its hard to know what's right or wrong so it comes down to personal preference I guess.

    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
