Hi guys,

sorry I know parts of this have been covered and it has been a massive help!! Although I have an issue:

i have an rb20det in my s13, there are no looms in the car apart from the engine loom & fuel pump wires. 

All plugged in and I have 3 power wires into the ecu & 6 ground wires out of the ecu; the car turns over and has injectors tick and fuel spray when fuel relay activated but I have NO SPARK.

i have power, earth and signal continuity from the ecu going to all the coils, cas and injectors; ami missing something from the ecu to tell coils to spark?

i swapped the igniter for a working one(same issue), should I try swapping cas and ecu?

 

thank you guys and sorry if I can’t find the info.

regards,

kev ?

Entirely possible the ECU's ignition outputs have been fried.  Try putting a test light from power to an ignition line from the ECU (at the ignitor would be convenient and see if you even get a flicker of light when the ECU should be switching the output to ground.  Pulsewidth might not be enough to get a glow, but if you do get a glow, at least you can assume that that ECU output is working.

Thank you mate, I’ll try that now and see how it goes, would it be best to mock up a led test light due to low voltage?

If you know anyone with a portable LCD CRO or are willing to buy a cheap USB one for your phone, you could test the waveform more thoroughly.  Otherwise, you may be into the realm of swaptronics.

Actually, if you have or can borrow an analogue multimeter, you might see something on that.  It should sit at 12V (if you probe the ignitor connection from the ECU with the other side of the meter on earth).  If the ECU pulls the ignitor down to earth, even briefly, it might be enough to make the needle flicker down from 12V.

Hey guys, update on the thread- now I have spark (ignition switch wire at the ecu needed relay power to it?)

now I don’t have an injector pulse haha. Injectors have power at each side however it’s not being switched via the ecu; would this happen if the timing was180 degrees out? I ran a new relay to feed the constant injector line, but still no good. Ecu is earthed at pin 107,108 and 116. Also 50 &60

 

have I missed something or do I ha e a dodgy cas or ecu?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
