So guys I need some help, I've just put a series 1 rb25det from a running r33 into my s14 drift car. I've used the engine loom and dash loom (so I can use the cluster) sent power to the appropriate wires on the engine loom/ECU but I'm not getting any spark or ignition. 

The car is bare bones and has ignition, fuel pumps and starter on a switch panel, does anyone have any info on how to get it up and running.

 

Cheers

Cheers robbo, just had a quick browse through it, hopefully there is something in it that will help. From what I can tell I've done pretty much what it says, only difference is that I'm not using any of the old 200sx looms. 

It's basically a full track car so I just need the engine to run 

Are you sure the ECU is powered up correctly? Can you attach a consult of some sort to the port to monitor?

ECU power needs the ECCS relay all hooked up correctly, that would be the place to start if the whole ECU is dead.

Isn't the fuel pump relay in the boot originally? Both my fuel pumps, starter and ignition switch are independently wired, basically ran switched 12v to the wires on that pinout that require 12v

Plugs have been pulled and checked for spark but I have nothing.

The second relay near the ecu isn't coming on, I'm sure one is eccs and the other ignition? I did find a pin on the white connector in the drivers footwell that powered up this relay but when checking for 12v output from it there was nothing. 

 

Yeah there are variations in the looms from different years, but if you have 2 relays on is ECCS and the other ignition.

Per your diagram pin 16 should earth the ECCS relay when the ECU gets IGN on signal, so check out that part first. 

I'm guessing the one that's clicking when ignition is switched is the eccs relay.

It seems the ignition relay is the one that isn't clicking which would explain the lack of spark. Even when I put power to the pin I mentioned on the I believe f3 plug in the drivers footwell there is no 12v out of the ignition relay

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
