Hey all, Im having some trouble wiring up an RB25DE (S1 R33) wiring loom into an R31. Its all wired up but it wont fire, the car turns over but just wont fire. Ive checked the timing so its getting spark, theres definitely fuel feeding to the injectors it just wont fire at all, no splutters no nothing, it just lifelessly winds over.

one thing i did notice is when i put the key on ignition, my safc fires up all happy and the ecu has a red light - but when i turn the key and it starts turning over, the light in the ecu goes out and it clicks... is this normal? the safc (2) stays on.

Any idea's of what to check? im stumped...

cheers

EDIT:

The first 3 plugs have no home, what are they for???

the blue relays, im just curious what they are for while im at it

and the white plug up behind the ecu

cheers, im just trying to get an idea of what everything is to help my troubleshooting

I had a similar issue in my 180sx...put another sr20det into it and when we tried to start it, it would turn over, and everything but just wouldn't start...sometimes it sounded like it was firing but still wouldn't run, turned out to be that I needed to run the same AFM as the ECU (I had swapped the ecu but not the afm).

take out a spark plug with the coil pack still on it. have it close to an earth point so it can spark, then take your CAS off and get someone spin it while you hold the spark/coil pack close to an earth point.

firstly, check if your CAS is plugged in properly.

its getting spark and has perfect fuel pressure, i think for some reason the injectors wont fire... any idea's?

the afm and everything is set up right even if it wasnt it would atleast fire and die in the arse or something - doesnt work without it plugged in also.

What part of the wiring would stop the injectors from firing?

those two plugs are for your injectors, the one on the top is the one i disconnect when doing compression tests to stop the injectors from firing.

are you sure your fuel pump primes when you turn your reds on? listen out for a humming sound.

mmm both those plugs are in, the fuel pump primes and gives my fpr guage 37PSI

what timing should an RB25 be at? its on 15 degs advanced atm

added pictures to first post what are those plugs for

bottom plug circled above is knock sensors..

pull off the FPR, and check there is fuel in the rail.

also pull off a plug and see if it's wet with fuel

?? err, you're saying these aren't connected to anything? they need to be wired up to 12v and a few other things in the engine bay.

The relays are very important too, and need to be wired up correctly to fire up the ECU on IGN, and start the engine. They allow the ECU to turn itself off when the IGN is turned off.

I suggest you check the wiring diagrams a bit more closely -- I think you're a bit off the mark from what I can gather from what I'm reading.

the relays etc are all wired up, they were already modified for an r31, im just trying to figure out what everything is for to aid my troubleshooting

only the plugs in the first 2 pictures arent connected to anything so its them im most concerned about....

Those first 2 round plugs aren't really plugs.. From what I gather from when I did my conversion they're simply test points for a multimeter or other factory testing.

The second two are either the wiper plugs, or those ones to the body. Maybe they're not needed on an R31 conversion.

I have 2 possibles- 1- has your car got a car alarm on it??? It could be the anti theft relay not de-energising , 2- Could be the crank angle sensor (on the front of the timing belt cover r/h/s). Did you replace it or bump it when installing engine???? They are very sensitive to voltage spikes or wrong wiring connection (full of transistors that stuff up if not wired up right)..... :P

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
