Hi All,

recently fitted a new engine into a shell. I purchased the shell and have never heard a motor run in it so not sure if a wiring issue or what, could be a big fan of worms! ?The motor cranks but won’t start. Not running on any cyl. I have checked for fuel and lines are correct (see pic) Also what should the tomei fpr be set to? Has standard injectors fitted. Is there a way I can bypass the ecu or link to ground the injectors? Also should the apexi ecu have a bracket to be grounded or does it ground through one of the pin outs?

 

Have turned the ignition on and removed CAS and spun by hand. Can hear the injectors clicking and have spark from all coils. Also it has an apexi power fc fitted so is there a way of testing that this is working? Also so have the afm connected and was reading about 400mV or there abouts.

Not sure if it’s an immobiliser related issue either, pulling my hair out just trying to get this motor to start! Any help is much appreciated!

First is current one on car which was from the running motor (previous)

 

Second pic is from the current motor I’ve fitted but I removed it because it was a bit tight the bearing and when you spin it by hand it’s a little notchy.

This is what the fpr is doing. Could this be the issue?

Also what is the regulator that’s connected to the return line of the fuel under the brake booster? I don’t have one fitted.

Sorry about lines being a mess

Is it running the same AFM as the last car the Power FC was fitted to? Same injectors?

Have you had a read of PaulR33's Power Fc FAQ?

Im betting if you have fuel and spark then its probably a setting not quite right

Are you getting spark to the spark plugs? Perhaps do the old screw driver into coil and cam cover trick.

When you turn the CAS or crank the car it should spark.

Also take out your spark plugs and see if they're all fouled and cooked.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
