Rb20 engine wont fire??


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, have an r32 rb20det swapped into my mazda b2000 - have had it swapped and running for many years. Has the following mods; front mount intercooler, 555cc injectors, wastespark setup, tomei fpr (recently brought as my old one shat itself?) Gt35 turbo, link g4+ atom, megasquirt ignitor, powertune digital dash...

A month ago i took it for a drive, went and put some gas in then about 1 minute down the road it died, tried anything i could on side of road but battery died so ended up towing home to see if i could find the problem

Bit of problem solving, had spark, squirt some fluid in the intake and could get it to start that way only to find out my aftermarket fuel pressure reg gauge the needle was pointing the other way like it had blown up? Removed the fpr and just joined the fuel lines together and fired right up.

So got a new fuel regulator but this one as soon as i turned the key the pressure shoots up to 8 on the gauge but when cranking drops down to 5 managed to get it to run tho so took for another drive but as soon as i turned of truck it wouldnt start. So now im trying to figure this time why wont go, have tried taking out the fpr again but no go this time, fluid in intake manages to get a couple of fires, have taken out crank sensor and spun around to hear clicks from injectors has spark , fuel coming through the line to. 

Could it possibly be that my injectors have gunked up that they now need a clean preventing it to fire as it is kind of my last solution?

Many thanks in advance.

James

If you're confident that you have proper compression/spark timing and it isn't your FPR you can pull the injectors and send them out for cleaning/testing.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
