Hey guys,

Wiring up a 26/30 into my r31. Now I wired up the 25/30 I had in there previously and it was sweet.

I have the 26 loom all hooked up, the ign and ECCS relays switch on with reds on, fuel pump primes then switches off. Now the issue is that the injectors are not firing when cranking. If I take the CAS out and spin it I can hear the injectors firing fine. If I then put the CAS but in and crank the motor it will run very briefly until it runs out of fuel again. Spark is fine as it ignites the remaining fuel from when I spun the CAS.

Does anyone have any ideas? Checked spark on cranking just to be sure and its sweet. So yeah running out of ideas, bloody injectors just wont fire when cranking.

This is one of those things again which is hard to give advice on unless your right there infront of it but for those of you that have done this conv before thought it may be worth a shot.

Edit: Read on Meggala's site but that he ran s5 rx7 injectors in his r33 with just the resistor pack removed so must be all good.

Cheers.

Check the data with a scantool or watch the tacho and see if you have an rpm signal if you do then you should have both fuel and ignition pulse. If not then I would check fuses as the other side of the injectors is battery fed. It will be wried the exact same way as a rb26 - should be simple - so look for silly mistakes.

Sounds like you are losing power to your injectors under cranking check with an led test light

have to agree with rob it will deffinately be something simple......

sounds stupid but make sure the 10mm on the wiring harness of the ecu plug is tight........im an auto electrician and i chased a problem nearly identical to yours on a rb25 conversion in a R31 for about an hour only to find i forgot to do up that stupid bolt.....

Good luck.....you'll sort it out

Yeah cheers guys, rigged up a led test light last night, LED will flash strong when spinning the CAS and also whilst cranking. Just wont fire, keep checking spark and its good.

So yeah dunno. I am running rx7 s5 550's in it with the resistor pack removed. Im starting to think that the GTR ecu even with the resistor pack removed is not capable or running high imp injectors. If that was the case but I would have expected a weak LED signal. But yeah all seems to be well, have checked all the ground pin-outs at the ECU and there all good.

Those s5 550cc injectors are absolute shite - I definately wouldn't use them. If they have been sitting around then they might be a little gummed up - try putting the standard injectors back in along with the resistor pack.

yeah true that been told that they can gum up and there also shite.

Problem is I am doing a 26/30 conversion so I dont have a spare set up GTR injectors laying around. I have the resistor pack so I might have to go grab some.

One question tho someone may be able to answer, when cranking the motor should the red status LED on the ecu go out?

When cranking the motor on myn the LED will go out, then come back on again when you have stopped cranking. I thought that was unusual.

Cheers.

      Good points thanks. Unfortunately I can't seem to rename this or delete the topic. Seems like I'll ask the moderators to change it or delete it.

      You might want to update the thread title.  V37 ≠ V36.  And it probably isn't a G37 unless it is 2012+ Ininiti or LHD.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Just a basic run down of the relevant bolt-ons. All e85 First graph 406.9whp is HKS GT-RS, HPI manifold, 3" bell mouth dump / 3" straight through fake cat / 3" all the way to the rear and no resonators, nismo 740cc, walbro 460, oem RB26 itb's, power fc, eboost2, Greddy Spec M fmic, poncams, Turbosmart actuator, splitfires, ARD 150amp alternator. Blue line is same as above but Blitz Dual SBC (before i upgraded to eboost2) and 100cell "high flow" cat. Red line is after installing eboost2 and the fake 3" cat (it's just a 3" pipe with a cat shell welded onto it). Huge gains in response, as can be seen. Black dots are a mates sr20 with almost identical setup but uses a garrett 2871 instead oh HKS. Next grapghn 466.6whp is same as above, but HKS 2835 Pro S with the larger .87ar turbine housing, the special HKS Pro S dump pipe into a HPI split dual 2.5" front pipe and the rest stayed as is. Red line is after I welded the actuator brackets. (It was originally bolted together and was moving a couple millimetres under load). Green line is obviously before I welded the bracket, no other changes. 100whp gain at 3750rpm, massive gain for such a simple fix. Third graph is my current setup, huge changes. 469.7whp R31house twin scroll manifold, twin TiAl 38mm gates, Forced Performance (USA) HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll rear housing, Link Fury+ and loom by 12volt, PRP trigger kit and r35 coil kit with r35 splitfire coils, HKS step 1 vct staggered cams, new oem lifters and performance springs, 49mm itb's w/port matched Nismo plenum, twin walbro 460 surge tank setup + 1650cc injectors, HKS Type R S13 600x300x103mm fmic, individual egt's, 4" turbo back with no resonators or cat and AES true straight through muffler + 4" butterfly off the dump pipe lower 90° bend. It's a preliminary tune with no boost control with using 20psi gate springs and 4" butterfly closed. Once body loom and PDM is compete, will go for 30psi tune.

      Power light apparently functions as a transmission error light, you can try the power sequence to read any codes from the transmission control unit.

      Agreed - looks better that way
