G'day legends, 

The misses has an R31 GXE Auto which I recently did injector rebuild on. 

I removed the old injectors, had them flow tested and a new seal kit done as there was previously a leak. 
Prior to removal, the main issue was the above mentioned fuel leak, but since completing the reinstallation of the injectors, there has been a really intense misfire. 

-The injectors flow tested perfectly
-A lot of care was taken when installing them, so I don't believe they are will be the issue as of yet. 

So far, I have replaced;
-Dizzy cap and rotor (they were both absolutely cooked)
-CAS (some sort of water entry got in there and made a mess)
-Plugs (Were disgusting)

>The AFM is second hand, and was replaced when the original one died. 
>The Injector plugs are pretty cooked, so that will be my next replacement as it is required anyway. 
>I will need to test the ignition leads, however they were only done about 2 years ago
>Not sure how to check the ignition coil, but seems unlikely it would die straight after the above work was done. (not sure when it was replaced last either)

Sometimes I wonder if I have swapped some electrical connectors around by mistake, but I am confident that they are all in their correct locations. 
I did pressure wash the whole engine bay after the replacement, is it possible I soaked the ECU? (Unsure of ECU location).

Any help would be absolutely amazing, this is doing my head in. 

Cheers!

ECU is in passenger side footwell.

Take the dizzy apart, make sure the CAS disc inside is clean.

I had misfire issues because the CAS was rusty and spilling dirt on the disc (sensor wasn't reading properly hence misfire).

Also does it idle fine? Try unplugging AFM, it should idle and rev to 2,000 rpm fine.

Loads of info on R31 Skyline club wiki

This probably won't have done you any favours. A wet connector block somewhere could be upsetting things. Try some WD40in all the connectors.

Go back to basics man. Compression test. A constant reading is good, a 30 psi or more difference between adjacent cylinders is bad. Disconnect one injector at a time and reconnect until you find the bad cylinder. A good cylinder will run rougher with the injector disconnected. The bad cylinder will do nothing with injector disconnected. Then check for spark. Use a gap tester or remove a spark plug on each cylinder. Don’t forget to remove the fuel pump fuse if you pull the plugs to test. 
 

if all that checks out ok, check for vacuum leaks and injector wiring. 
 

if you’ve pressure washed it you will probably have water somewhere simple, usually in the dizzy cap or spark plug tubes 🙂

    • I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.
    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
    • Transplanting the vvt from a 25neo into an rb26?
    • Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
