RB25 No fuel after injector change

Hello, I have an R32 Skyline GTST with an RB25DET. Yesterday I swapped out my stock injectors for new P2M 550cc injectors. I followed a tutorial online step by step, nothing went wrong. Went to start up the car and it cranks but won’t start. Popped off the fuel pressure line and no fuel seems to be going into the rail. I can hear the fuel pump kick on when I turn the key however. Any ideas? I’m not very mechanically apt when it comes to cars in all honesty, so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Any possibility you put the pressure and return fuel lines the wrong way around? If the pressure line is connected to the fuel pressure regulator instead of the fuel rail you will get no fuel in the rail when the pump runs

Did you prime it after? 

Having all the fuel out of the rail and lines means it's not just going to fire up first flick of the key. Need to get the pump to prime 3 or 4 times before trying to start. 

Failing that, possibly lines mixed up as Duncan said

The lines appear to be in order. Before when I said I popped off the pressure line and no fuel came out- I touched the top line. I popped off the bottom line and fuel did spray out. So I believe fuel is getting to the rail. I primed the pump 10 times before starting and still no luck. I sprayed starter fluid into the throttle body and it started maybe half a second before giving up. I feel like I’m so close!

Do as said above just to rule it out. Then next step, if you're confident you have fuel in rail, is see if your injectors have power and if they're clicking at all.

I hear no clicking whatsoever from the injectors. They’re brand new, I double checked all the connections, fuses are good. What else could be causing them not to click?

Should have a constant 12v supply to the injectors, ecu switches the earth. Not sure how many things could prevent ecu from telling injectors to fire but there's a few

Ended up finding this fuse blown, thought that was my issue. Replaced it, tried to start her, still won’t. Switched back to my old injectors, won’t start. Double checked everything I’ve touched, and then some, and then checked again for good measure. Got an engine code reader and all it reads is ERROR. Local shop is too backed up so they can’t touch it. 

I’m completely out of ideas gents. Anything and everything at this point would be greatly appreciated.

1 - What fuse was that exactly? Missing details here. Might not even be related...

2 - If you're changing injectors, what ecu are you running? 

My train of thought here is for whatever reason you decided to change to 550's and you're still running a stock ecu/tune. If so, 30$ says you're issue is not no fuel, it's too much fuel... and you're engine is flooded. Just pop your sparkplugs out and see if they're wet and check if you have fuel sitting in your cylinders after cranking. This would also explain why it wouldn't start when you went back to the stock 380cc's.

I have a feeling that if the OP's mechanical skillset is at a point where he thinks its ok to install higher flowing injectors while running a stock ECU, while he stated that 'nothing went wrong', I have a feeling that something did in fact go wrong during the install however his mechanical knowledge didn't allow him to realise that something was not done correctly/was damaged/etc. 

If that is the case, it would probably make the most sense to take the car to a workshop for them to troubleshoot.

Not a stock ECU. Its an AEM Infinity 506. The car was tuned on the stock injectors. I installed the new injectors and before starting, had it tuned again to support the new injectors. He did everything correctly (I’m assuming).

Pop your sparkplugs out and confirm you're not getting fuel while cranking please.

Mate you need to put all the info here so we're not going in circles. 

1) Have you removed plugs to see if there's too much fuel as one of the guys suggested?

2) Have you swapped fuel lines to be sure you're not mixed up as was suggested? No offence but you didn't sound remotely confident they're correct. 

3) Have you checked that you have power at the injectors at all? 

4) What was the fuse that was blown? 

5) Have you contacted the tuner for their input considering they just tuned it and possibly missed something? 

 

Diagnostics requires a lot of ruling things out until you narrow down possibilities, difficult to do with half the information available.

Are we going to take bets on some sort of blanking caps left on/in the new injectors?

or fuel hoses backwards :D 

hence fuel pump fuse blowing (or I think it's the fuel pump fuse, OP was not specific on which fuse popped)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
