hi everyone

my RB25DET s13 is giving me abit of trouble...
today when i tried to start it, it took longer for the engine to actually start and turnover, then when it did start it started with a big puff of white smoke, the idled rough. very jumpy idol. i swithched it of then tried again and same thing, then car died and doesnt want to satrt again, theres ignition and the car seems like it wants to start but wont....

any helpand diagnosis guys plz

thanks

Yeah, your engine is scrap now mate...










best give it to me



Your certain there's good spark?
I had a similar issue with my CA when it was over fueling like a mofo, that was my own fault however.

You didnt do "work" in the bay just before the problem started did you?

well firstly my engine is over fueling, i get about 250-300kms a tank!

secondly, the only "work" ive done is drain and refill the cooling system then bleed the cooling system, and that was done a couple weeks ago and it was "fine" after that.

i must also add that my car has been running hot of late (so i havent driven it much at all lately and if so not far enough to let it get hot).
themostat works
radiator is fine
looking at getting a new water pump now as it looks like the water flow in my rad is not really good

any ideas?
i dont want to do anything further and possibly damage my engine...

if you are running a dicktator check your red wire thats in your harnes that plugs into your managment its a bit thick if im noy mistaken and also you need to check if your map on your managment is still ok heating up can be caused by timing hence i say have your map checked.

similar thing happen to mine... was the spark plugs... changed them and it fires up like normal....

You have fould the plugs Change them and all will be fine ,if not then then post again
Usaul Dicktator problem

Mine just had the same problem starting up after a month or two standing

New Plugs should sort it !



....And while you at it throw out that Piece of SH%T Dicktator

thanks guys

NGK idrium^^ surely will do~

will start by changing the plugs. hope it works

thanks all

could somebody explain more about a car running hot because of timing and my fuel map??

also which heat range NGK iridiums must i use, and anything else in particular i need to look 4 in them?

Too little fuel or too much timing advance will cause it to run hotter than it should. And that can cause detonation which equals bye-bye RB25.

thanks

been meaning to get my engine tuned for better fuel economy and a little more boost, so i guess thats on the list now as well. retune

start with plugs, 0.8 gap

under 1bar bcpr6es
over 1bar bcpr7es
