Hi guys,

sorry I know parts of this have been covered and it has been a massive help!! Although I have an issue:

i have an rb20det in my s13, there are no looms in the car apart from the engine loom & fuel pump wires. 

All plugged in and I have 3 power wires into the ecu & 6 ground wires out of the ecu; the car turns over and has injectors tick and fuel spray when fuel relay activated but I have NO SPARK.

i have power, earth and signal continuity from the ecu going to all the coils, cas and injectors; ami missing something from the ecu to tell coils to spark?

i swapped the igniter for a working one(same issue), should I try swapping cas and ecu?

 

thank you guys and sorry if I can’t find the info.

regards,

kev ?

Entirely possible the ECU's ignition outputs have been fried.  Try putting a test light from power to an ignition line from the ECU (at the ignitor would be convenient and see if you even get a flicker of light when the ECU should be switching the output to ground.  Pulsewidth might not be enough to get a glow, but if you do get a glow, at least you can assume that that ECU output is working.

Thank you mate, I’ll try that now and see how it goes, would it be best to mock up a led test light due to low voltage?

If you know anyone with a portable LCD CRO or are willing to buy a cheap USB one for your phone, you could test the waveform more thoroughly.  Otherwise, you may be into the realm of swaptronics.

Actually, if you have or can borrow an analogue multimeter, you might see something on that.  It should sit at 12V (if you probe the ignitor connection from the ECU with the other side of the meter on earth).  If the ECU pulls the ignitor down to earth, even briefly, it might be enough to make the needle flicker down from 12V.

Hey guys, update on the thread- now I have spark (ignition switch wire at the ecu needed relay power to it?)

now I don’t have an injector pulse haha. Injectors have power at each side however it’s not being switched via the ecu; would this happen if the timing was180 degrees out? I ran a new relay to feed the constant injector line, but still no good. Ecu is earthed at pin 107,108 and 116. Also 50 &60

 

have I missed something or do I ha e a dodgy cas or ecu?

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.

      1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
