i know this is mainly a skyline forum so ill be brief. im in the US so we didnt ever get those lovely silvia's or skyline's and i was just wondering if you guys know the specs on the s13 redtop and blacktop stock? when i look on the net all i get is different guesses and some motor dyno's. since they were sold over there, could you guys let me know what they had off the lot? asking redtop and blacktop because i heard blacktop came with a little more but ive also seen that they had the same horsepower. thanks for any help.

lol someone already suggested that.

i wasnt planning on going vvt. dont feel like messing with s14. there are 2 s13 det's tho. redtop and blacktop. just making sure no one is confusing blacktop s13 with the vvt s14. getting the blacktop is just as easy as getting the redtop for me and the cost is just a tad more. the blacktop is newer (doesn't mean ill get a better motor i know) but the main question was just whether or not they added a bit of power when they changed over to s13 blacktop from redtop or if they just had a different valve cover.

the s13 blacktop and redtop are the exactly the same engine . one is red . one is black

as you stated the s13 blacktop comes in around late 93 so they are newer engines but be weary as often they are red tops painted black to ask for slightly more money

    • 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. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
