So guys I need some help, I've just put a series 1 rb25det from a running r33 into my s14 drift car. I've used the engine loom and dash loom (so I can use the cluster) sent power to the appropriate wires on the engine loom/ECU but I'm not getting any spark or ignition. 

The car is bare bones and has ignition, fuel pumps and starter on a switch panel, does anyone have any info on how to get it up and running.

 

Cheers

Cheers robbo, just had a quick browse through it, hopefully there is something in it that will help. From what I can tell I've done pretty much what it says, only difference is that I'm not using any of the old 200sx looms. 

It's basically a full track car so I just need the engine to run 

Are you sure the ECU is powered up correctly? Can you attach a consult of some sort to the port to monitor?

ECU power needs the ECCS relay all hooked up correctly, that would be the place to start if the whole ECU is dead.

Isn't the fuel pump relay in the boot originally? Both my fuel pumps, starter and ignition switch are independently wired, basically ran switched 12v to the wires on that pinout that require 12v

Plugs have been pulled and checked for spark but I have nothing.

The second relay near the ecu isn't coming on, I'm sure one is eccs and the other ignition? I did find a pin on the white connector in the drivers footwell that powered up this relay but when checking for 12v output from it there was nothing. 

 

Yeah there are variations in the looms from different years, but if you have 2 relays on is ECCS and the other ignition.

Per your diagram pin 16 should earth the ECCS relay when the ECU gets IGN on signal, so check out that part first. 

I'm guessing the one that's clicking when ignition is switched is the eccs relay.

It seems the ignition relay is the one that isn't clicking which would explain the lack of spark. Even when I put power to the pin I mentioned on the I believe f3 plug in the drivers footwell there is no 12v out of the ignition relay

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
