Alright so i need help with my fuel return. I bought and rb20det and when i went to start it up for the first time it ran like shit. I had the injectors professionally cleaned as two were had it so it was running on 4 cyl, but it only seemed to make it run worse. all vac lines are hooked up, plenty of fuel going into the injectors but nothing is coming out of the return line. any ideas? i put new spark plugs in recently and they are already black from fuel.

help much appreciated thanks

Black plugs is way too rich, so the injectors are too big without some sort of control to make it run right.

sounds like they are using all the fuel, so none is returned.

What mods were done to that motor? Compression test? Leaking injectors? Blocked or kinked fuel line? Clean filters? Afm plugged in?

How did you test fuel pressure?

Rubber hose can kink under suction, like the fuel pump intake.

Once i left a rag in my intake pipe, doh! That made it run like sht.

Are you sure that you have the fuel supply and return connected to the correct side of the rail and reg and so on? Have you put a pressure gauge on it to see if the reg is actually doing anything?

this is the order i have it in 2lygrc.png

the injectors are only stock, no mods to the engine what so ever besides a front mount intercooler. pressure was tested by an auto electrician with a fuel pressure gauge, it showed good pressure but shit fuel flow. i will replace the fuel filter on monday when i can buy one but surely it couldnt just be that could it? i will check the lines for kinked pipes thanks

I'm going to replace the fuel pump and filter, if that doesn't fix it f**k it im going rb25

Your having a minor fuel issue and your going to change the whole engine?

Have you tried revving it and seeing if fuel comes out on engine decel?

Changed the filter, slightly better but still not revving properly down low.

Thanks for the tip cal, fuel is coming out on decel.

Since my plugs are black should i get new ones again?

I think i will replace fuel pump and plugs.

Simple things first. New plugs, gap to .8, try again. If its better then it may have been your plugs or your coilpacks might be a bit sad

Get copper plugs, dont bother with iridium etc. Bcpr6 or bkr6 should be fine. One is slightly longer than the other. Forget which is the more commonly used

Otherwise I can give you the part number for the plugs I get from nissan. They are still ngk plugs but were reccomended by my tuner.

thanks :) my auto electrician friend has 5 new coilpacks (couldn't find the other one) so im going to get some of those plugs you suggested and change the coilpacks, besides one..

With it idling, unplug them one at a time, the one that makes the most difference to engine note/idle will be the strongest. Leave it in. Might not help much at idle but probably how id do it if I didnt want to waste too much time

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
