Great info ...  go the sweet taste of Jack

But ... if you had RB20 setup currently, what would be the logical way to go? Which head would you use?

Also, can you use any bits from the current setup?

In R32 GTST's I prefer the R32 RB25DE top end as it doesn't have VVT. The RB20DET stuff (sensors and manifolds) all basically bolt up, so the R32 GTST wiring harness and ECU work perfectly.

Bits from the current set up, I assume you mean RB20DET. Note that the new RB31DET has an RB26 top end. So I used the injectors (S5RX7T), all the sensors, ignitor, coils, alternator, starter, oil cooler, remote oil filter, radiator (PWR), electric fan (Davis Craig), air filter (pipercross POD), heat shield, ambient air feed, Power FC, Commander, gauges (oil pressure & temp plus exhaust gas temp), sump (it already had wings & baffles), intercooler (std R33 GTR), some intercooler pipework, engine mounts, OS Giken twin plate clutch, fan belt, power steering belt, bottom radiator hose (silicone), alternator bracket, power steering pump bracket, throttle cable, fuel pumps, adj fuel pressure regulator (Nismo), adj camshaft pulleys (Jun), plus lots of mounting hardware, nuts, bolts and washers.

We also have a Stagea, and I will use some of the (no longer needed) RB20DET bits on it. Like the RB25DET turbo (GCG ball bearing hi flow), split dump (Performance Metalcraft), old intercooler (Group A Supra), some pipework, boost controller (Autospeed) and exhaust (suitably modified). I try not to waste anything that is good/useable.

Hope that helps, Happy New Year:cheers:

This engine drives very nice on the street.

I still cant get over the fact that the bottom end can handle 475BHP with stock cast pistons.. lol

What about stock bearings? like ACL brand ? can they handle that power too?

SydneyKid: what ignition timing have you seen RB30DET's (with 25 heads) use on full boost ?

The max power out of standard injectors i could have got was 240rwkw but that was standard fuel pump too. upgrade the stock pump to a bigger unit and you might get more with a Adjustable Rising rate regulator - but thats really unsafe way of doing it and its a prick to tune them at times. (can be inconsistant)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
