Hi

I replaced the head on my nephews car after the head was destroyed by really bad detonation.Once the engine was back together it started and ran fine for a short period then it stopped and has refused to start again since.

I have cranked the engine over with the spark plugs out and the spark seems to be very weak, mostly a white to yellow colour, and somtimes its more of a mist looking then a actual spark.

I know to test the series 1 coils for a value between .6 and .9 ohms but what do you test the series 2 for, as they have the built in ignitor?

Does anyone know what values to test the ignition coils for on a series 2 RB25DET?

thanks for any help

OK I guess my real question is, were the rings OK when you put the new head on? are you sure? because generally the rings or ring lands are what are really damaged by detonation, it seems unusual to change the head but leave the bottom end alone with a problem like this.

did you ever get to check the compression after the new head? was it OK then?

I'll do a reading and check the actual figures,but what gets me, is that after the rebuild, the car started and ran fine, so I'm not sure if its related to the rebuild or just something else that has decided to fail.Unfortunately the rings didn't occur to me at all when it blew its gasket.

I'll let you know when I have some figures.

Thanks again

have you checked that the fuel lines are running into the fuel rail the right way??

when we replaced my rb20 it did a similiar thing and it was because we had the fuel pumping onto the presure reg instead of through it.

just an idea

good luck

Yeah ,I doubled checked to day, I even pulled the injectors out to check and found that all 6 injectors fire simultaneously on all strokes, Just started another thread requesting info on how they are supposed to work ,as I would think that would flood the engine .

thanks for the idea though

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
