god damn thats bad compression :P i guess its an unfortunte thing with most of you guys that have 13 - 15 year old cars putting as much power through them as most of you have they are bound to pack it in sooner or later :D but as yousaid build up something bugger and better gl stirlo :P

I am connecting up my injectors from the ECU... my question is does the ECU supply positive signals or a negative signal. The reason I ask is the common lead for the injectors is currently connected to igntion (+, pin 58 on the ECU) and then back to the ecu's individual injector pins. NO, the car isnt running properly which is why I ask what the ECU outputs. So obviously if they are both connected to positive, it could be a problem. I have 2 pin-out sheets that say the exact opposite.

One says that the individual injector signals are ground, and the other says "Injector No. X" and has the 3 separate pins at the bottom of the connector as "Injector Ground" can anyone help?

The injectors should be +12V normal, and grounded to make them fire. They should appear positive with ignition but not running. Its all in the PDF Manual.

did you buy positive injectors or negative ones? should shouldnt need to do anything but replace the ones you had in there.

we are talking RB26 right?

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
