So my problem is that my car wont start. Injectors are not ticking while spinning the CAS but i can feel a small tick while cranking it. I tested the CAS with another one from a skyline which is working properly but it didint help. I also tested my cas in the other skyline, it worked fine so the CAS should be ok. Resistance of all injectors is 11.4 ohm, and they get 12.4v continuous but weak pulse voltage? While cranking the car, the other wire gets only 0.06v. Im not sure is it the pulse wire/voltage tho but it is the another wire of the two wires. Fuel pump starts working while spinning the CAS and gets good spark on every plug. The car was running fine earlier today but suddenly it wont start anymore. Could something be wrong with the injectors wiring or something else like an fuse or relay? So what should i check next? -R32 gtst Skyline 1992 with swapped RB25 and nistune ecu.

The injectors have constant 12V on one side and the ECU switches the other side to earth to provide the ON. So, you should have 12V on both sides of the injector when nothing is happening, and the ECU side should drop to low voltage when they are pulsed. You won't see this happening on a DMM. Not fast enough. You'd need an analogue multimeter or an oscilloscope to see that. You can also get a noid light to plug into the injector plug and see if it turns on. It's amazing what you can do with old skool tech.

You can work out which wire is supposed to be which, because all 6 injectors have power fed from the same place and the other 6 wires go back to the ECU.

You really need to know if the ECU is pulsing the injectors properly. If it is, and they are not doing anything, then you have to start looking at what's wrong with the injectors/fuel system.

 

Thank you sir! Ill test them tomorrow and i will post the results right away. So i can check the injector pulse also by hooking up an test light into battery positive and the other end to injectors wire one by one? If it grounds so the test light would blink fast as i understood. And the same thing from the ECUs pins to be sure that the ECU is pulsing them overall? 

Ill check the CAS wires! I am not sure that all the wires are ok in there but the mechanical connection between camshaft and CAS is fine! I think that the issue would be in the wires between ECU and injectors or something like that, hopefully.. And yes, i am spinning the CAS by hand. Sometimes i plug the CAS back for a crank with big magical hope if it would start but no.. :D

No, not really. A noid light connects to the injector plug directly. Both power and pulsed earth should be present right there. You don't need to go to the battery. And an old fashioned globe type test light probably won't be fast enough.

If you get no flashes at the injector plugs, you can move your test backwards to the ECU's injector pins, but then you will need to provide power to the noid light and a test probe for the ECU from the other side of the light. This would just be to check the loom. You wouldn't expect to get a different result (from the injector end of the loom) unless the loom was torched somewhere in the middle.

Oh, yes now i got it!

I did open the ecu. I didint find anything strange looking it by eye exept couple pins what are supposed to be so. I contacted our local tune shop ”zpower” and they said that it should be like that (Picture below) My ecu will be tested this week, so i will post the results of it! I am just curious what burnt my ecu if it is burnt, because i dont want to fry next 10x ecus.. it has nistune type 3 on it.

It is an J30 infiniti ecu. The elder R32 or Z32 ecus take Type 2 board yes correct, but they are 8bit so they are slow af. But the newer j30 ecu is 16bit. It has also better processor in it and they are much easier to find on sale. Older ones start to be under the stones..

You're on your own then mate. You have ventured into foreign territory. If I had to guess, if there's no sign of burnt tracks from the injector pins, then you've likely killed the transistors that run the injectors. Odd to kill them all though....

Wow that sounds so far out! Have you had the car running with this set up at all? Has this been done before?

Yup! Running solid soon for 4 years with 560whp and 690nm. Cp pistons, manley h-beams, acl bearings, all bolts ARP and cometic gasket. Head ported & polished. 840cc injectors with walbro 450 pump. This winter i am going to make some technical update, maxxecu. I may also open the engine and see what it has been eating for the last past years, just incase if something need to be changed..

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
