Re: NEW FORUMS - Questions and Answers

I looked around the Admin control panel and loosened up some of the session security options. I don't know if they are responsible since the problem seems more random, though.

Let's cross our fingers. This has been bugging me and everyone else too

Re: The Zenki KA-T build thread!

The build looks great! I like fresh engines :D

1000CC will be enough for 400hp but not much more - especially with E85.

Re: Nistune messing up over 3k rpm

^ I don't believe there is a secondary map for 5th gear. There is a normal map and a knock map. I am pretty sure the 5th gear sensor is just for speed limiting - at least in S13 ECUs. 3k RPM in 5th - is that under boost, or just cruising? Rich in cruise could be a lot different than rich in boost wh...

Re: Gotenks64's ongoing build

I'm pretty sure brake boosters can leak, so that could be a source of a vacuum leak if you can't find any around the manifold.

What does your vacuum gauge show at idle & 1200RPM?

Re: ka24de only runs with maf unplugged

^ Come to think about it, I may have to agree with you. Anyone with a stock ECU with logging capabilities can tell us. I have vague memories of seeing a negative temperature value on my gauge display in Nistune.

Ignition signal problem is a big issue.

The 1-wire coolant sensor is just for the gauge in your dash. The 2-wire one is the one that communicates with the ECU. Have you addressed the engine codes you pulled? 12 - MAF 13 - Coolant temperature sensor 21 - Ignition signal primary 34 - Knock sensor So let's look at everything together. If you...

Re: S14wayz 98 500-600hp Build Update: Startup vid need help

Lack of coolant/radiator would not affect coolant temp sensor, for startup anyway. A breather from the valve cover to the air intake - this shouldn't be related to a vacuum leak, which part of the intake?

Definitely get a timing light though :)

Could be mechanical timing too if one of your chains is off a tooth somewhere :/

Nope - never seen that happen. Pretty sure the reason for that cap being there is cover up the hole from boring the passages on the inside. I would replace it instead of trying to repair, though.

Re: need help with timing drift.

I've never really heard of stock ECUs suffering from timing drift; I would suggest following the factory procedure for checking timing. That would mean to have the car at operating temperature (180-200°F) and measuring the timing after revving to 2-3k RPM two or three times. I don't think unplugging...

Re: missfiring??? fuel in oil, VIDEO!!! HELP!!!!

Hmm..I can't really tell you what a plain RB25 would be worth, but assuming it doesn't have a knock then $1000 probably isn't bad. Maybe even if it did have a knock - I mean, buying 1000CC injectors and CP pistons new by themselves will be nearing $1000 as it is.

Re: No fuel or spark! Long description inside.

Yeah, I would definitely try a known-good ECU - even if it isn't chipped for your setup.

Do you have voltage on the wire that powers the ECU?

The ECCS relay on our Nissans is less-obviously labeled as "EGI Pump" in the engine bay.

The stock injector bungs are welded shut and there are injector ports further up each runner. I will try to get a good picture for you.

I'm sure if preheated and careful working - not getting it too hot will keep it from getting porous.
