Injector loom modified, injectors fitted, splitfire coilpacks fitted & engine loom wiring in progress...5947b1ec03160_enginewiring.thumb.jpg.f8cefb44982d82e0f6b0358dd8aa012e.jpg

 

Ditched the thermofans as they weren't really keeping temperatures under control, back to engine fan but a bit too close for my liking...

Have purchased GKTech engine fan which supposedly is thinner & more efficient (win-win) - on its way....

Dummy-fit the top intake manifold & Neo engine cover to see how it will all look. So far so good! Couple of hoses on their way from Japan to finish the intake plumbing...

Hopefully finish-off the wiring by next weekend & get the car ready for some intercooler, intake pipe & dump/front exhaust fabrication!

Loving the progress, making me lean more and more to doing a neo rather than a standard RB25! you had any real difficulties with the wiring so far? or has it all been pretty straight forward?

Wiring still in progress but a lot trickier than a s1 rb25 motor.

The neo loom has so many plugs for TCS, ABS, Sensors, Headlights, etc so its been slow progress to work out which to keep & which to cut.
So far, Ive worked out that the rb20 ecu grabs ignition voltage near the plug at the airbox and its a matter of wiring this to the brown eccs/ign relay & another pin on the ECU.
Im trying to make sure aircon, power steering, hicas, wipers & all dash switches/sensors work with the Neo so am tracing each wire to each plug and working through it slowly.

The Knock subloom on the r32 is separate and connects into the rb20 engine loom; whereas the Neo knock loom is integrated into the Alternator subloom; still working out best way to connect into the Neo loom.

Working on all the little-bits to make the car go...

Time to flex!

Nothing beats new parts...replacing the coolant lines.

Tailshaft shortened, balanced & fitted.

Replaced the 30mm Turbo spacer with a 20mm spacer, much  better fitment now, hopefully the dump/front clear the aircon lines now...

With a 7ltr ASR extended sump, means more oil - bought enough for two changes & gearbox oil to suitoils.thumb.jpg.6e066d3e750d15669343cb30b8c2ae10.jpg

 

Hopefully next week we will be in a stage to fire-up and see if my wiring has been done right!

What compression pistons?

 

Specifications
Part Number: SC7297, 14028-6
Make: Nissan
Engine(s): RB25DET NEO
Year(s): 1998-2002
Piston Material: 2618 Aluminum
Bore Size: 86.50mm
Compression Ratio: 9.0:1 CR
Connecting Rod Material: 4340 Forged Steel
Connecting Rod Length: 121.50mm
Compression Height: 1.220"

Wiring loom finally sorted and Nistune + flex board soldered in.
Despite AFM plugged in, larger injectors on a stock map and no intake pipe connected, the engine cranked & started!

Car will be towed to fabricator and tuner on Monday, hopefully have a running car this Friday if all goes to plan :)

Some fantastic work done by Havoc Fabrication, their attention to detail, care and professionalism is above all else. Thanks to their workshop for tackling this mammoth of a job.

  • Custom stainless steel intercooler piping with zero holes cut
  • Custom stainless steel intake pipe from z32 airbox
  • Custom stainless steel dump & front pipe with another cheeky o2 bung for wideband sensor/tuning

A couple of wiring gremlins to sort out last minute but the car is ready for run-in tuning this Monday :D

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
