Hey all,

Currently building up the rb20 a bit.

So far ive put on a new turbo, GTR injectors, and afjustable cam gears.

Ive also had a new exhaust made up for the turbo.

The problem i have is, i tried cranking it over last week and i had nothing.

I did a bit of research and realised i had put the fuel hoses round the wrong way, which i have heard is a common mistake.

i have fixed that and thought i would try crank it over again....

It cranks a couple of time and then all of a sudden feels like there is something stopping the cranking.... like its pushing against the starter motor.

All the lights on the dash go dim like its really struggling.

All i have changed since it started cranking bad is the new exhaust and the fuel lines.

Has anyone come across a problem like this? any thoughts?

Hi Guys,

Yup, all cranks fine no problems at all... then all of a sudden struggles.

Then if a give it a second and try again i have the same problem.

I must admit i havent checked the spark or the injector pulse as yet.

How do you check injector pulse?

did you put the gtr resistor pack in?

sounds like maybe the bigger injectors are flooding the cyls maybe

try taking the plugs out and cranking, see if anything shoots out too?

if it cranks and stops even with no plugs in then its the starter motor

Stock ECU at the moment....will be getting the nistune put in this week

I assumed you had a ECU setup and configured for the injectors... Silly me!

I wouldn't be trying to start a motor with injectors it is not tuned and configured for.

I'd be surprised if it fired @ all to be honest.

Hi guys,

nope i honestly didnt think it would start myself but i thought it was worth a try.

It goes to the tuners tomorrow and i was hoping if i could just get some kind of life out of it i would be happy.

My thoughts are its flooding like to no tomorrow.

Ill take it to the tuners tomorrow and hope that there is no problems!

Thanks all.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
