Who wants to buy my rb25det s13 swap??

[Omni]

I am at a lost as to how to set back this timing and i dont wanna mess with anything...bend a valve or anything bad that could happen so i rather just sell it...as a whole...need it gone asap...come on guys help me out...i might be getting a job soon and i will need a car to move around and i cant wait have this car sitting with no one to help..

[skyline084]

you're selling it b.c the timing is off?

[Omni]

YUP hahahaha i am scared to try to set it man..StricNyneL0S tried to advise me on how to set it and i tried using the fsm but i guess its cause im paranoid why i am so scared of trying it...if it was a sr or ka i wouldnt give a damn but yeah..dont wanna mess anything up

[l0nestar]

I will give you five-dollhairs, and then drive it home.

[Omni]

hahahah i know u can set it lonestar hahahaha ...but i am the type of person who if i cant do something and skeptical about it i am not gonna try cause if i mess it up them my motor become paper weight

[StricNyne]

we told you what to do bro, there is no guess work to it, just do it ! make a list of every problem youh ave with setup and see what responses you get

[droptopsf98]

give you a grand?

[Omni]

give you a grand?

not that desperate

[Omni]

we told you what to do bro, there is no guess work to it, just do it ! make a list of every problem youh ave with setup and see what responses you get

i know that sir....thats why im gonna try tommorrow again...i have faith that ya'll know what ya'll are doing...i just dont think i am fit to do it

[240cp]

Seriously, if you feel that you are not up to the task. Why not just pay someone to set the timing for you? I mean you have to know someone that is capable of doing this for you. Even with a shop doin this it would not cost you over a 100.00 bucks. Just seems totally insane to sell you whole swap just because you timing is off

[Omni]

hahahah i know someone who can do it but he is busy the and the other guys i know are ***holes...and you gota include towing...but i am gonna try to get it back tommorrow and see what i can ge...if not i will bring it to a shop

[Acecool]

Hmmmmmmm.. Post some pics, and give me a price. I may be interested. Of course I would want to pop off the valve covers to inspect that nothing bad has already happened :-P

[Omni]

hahahah dont say that...and nothing bad didnt happen cause i dont wanna mess with it hahahahha...

[Acecool]

Wait so something did happen????? Had to bust you for the double negative :-P

How much are you looking to get out of this, and do you have any photos?

[mixeds14]

man, dont give up.. it took me a few months to diagnose what was wrong with my rb but once i got it running i loved it.. i was in the same boat as u, wanted to sell the b**** but when u drove it for the first time, its was all worth it..

n when u said the timing are u talking about the cas or replacing the belt.. u can seriously mess something up setting the timing aligning the cams,crank,ect.. but the cas, u cant really go wrong.. read the fsm slowly so u can understand it..

[Omni]

its the cas...the belt is still on i didnt mess with that..its just the cas im having trouble with...i put some gas in there today to make sure it i wasnt low cause i dont thin my cluster is reading right...and i am gonna keep trying

[Acecool]

Oh, adjusting the CAS is just like rotating a distributor.. Lightly losen the 3 bolts holding it in place. Then rotate it while the car is running and listen for it to run better/worse. Obviously put it where it sounds better and tighten... If you didn't mess with the belt, hopefully who put it on would have known what they were doing.

Does the engine sound rough when running, you may have a spark or fuel deliver issue instead of a timing issue.

[Omni]

well no belt was changed...i just took out the cas cause i wanted to see how the belt looked under the timing cover...it still the stock belt on there...and before i took the cas out the car was running ok...its just has a missfire cause of the coilpack...but i am gonna try to get it right cause i really would like to keep my car

[Omni]

well guys i tried today and all i was getting was backfiring...smh need help

[Acecool]

Your coils may not be firing properly. Its common. Take all the coil packs off. Next take the boots off and the springs out of the contact points. Next take a cheap $10 dremel from harbor freight and dremel the contact point on the inside of the back and bring it to a nice shine. Replace or use electronics cleaner on the springs. Reassemble, and use electrical take on the boots; wrap them up!!

Now hook everything back up. Start the car, listen for misfire. Unplug one coil pack at a time, listen to see if condition worsens or stays the same. If the condition stays the same, you may need to replace that pack. To confirm switch one pack that made the condition worsen when unplugged with that pack. Also, take your igniter to have it tested. I would recommend a buick skylark coilpack conversion and a z32 igniter swap. Fixed all of my hesitation issues when I first installed my rb20 and its really simple to do.

[Omni]

i know i need new coilpacks already....and i have a s2 rb25 and i did wrap them up with tape...and i still usto start up no probably but it would still missfire...and now that it wont start i kinda do miss the slight misfire it had...but i will try again tommorrow...also can someone show me the correct way of putting in back the CAS to make sure i am doing it right...and is the notch on the CAS that should be in the middle...some pics would be really appreciated

[Omni]

IIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTSSSSSSSS ALIVE AGAIN I AM SUPER SIKED WWWWWWWOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO...i changed my oil and did everythign i was advised to do...now the car builds boost...but turbo is still popping and the vaccum stays at zero until i rev it....i also think my wastegate is stuck open

[danielmcn]

wastegate is not open if its building boost. check the placment of your boost gauge line, if its before the throttle body then you wont see vac till the throttle is opened. What do you meen the turbo is popping?

[mixeds14]

glad u got it running... man i wish u would of told people wich Cas u had.. i dint remember u had the newer model cas like whats on my neo(blk housing) and not the star looking cas(aluminum housing) wich the blk cas on the tip, one side its slightly wider than the other side so in only goes in one way..

like it sounds like if its popping out air and when i put my hand over the maf i feel as though something is pushing against my hand everytime i it pops so i dunno wth to do next....and should the car be building boost while it not rolling??? or what and i when i plug in my maf the car revs really high them shuts off dunno if i solve those things i can finally take my car out for a small run...my boost guages is coming from the last nipple on my intake...

thanx man....my problem want how to get the CAS back in...it was more of how to position it to start up....but i am happy it starts...now all thats left is to get this missfire to stop...and maf and turbo popping

[mixeds14]

pooping? u sure aint surging... if ur building boost n let off n u feel the turbo pushing air out of the maf instead of goin towards the exhaust its not good.. it making the turbo spin backwards, u need to loosen up ur bov some.. as far as vac, it should make vac weather u got a leak somewhere or not.. try another gauge but dont run it inside the cabin.. put it somewhere on the intake on the motor n look at it to see any difference ..

[Omni]

its so bad i dont even hear my bov atleast the the bov should be opening and i its not surging...i know the sound surging makes...its more of a popp i will try to get u guys some video...and i tried my friends gauge also and still nothing....not vac...but before i wasnt getting no boost either...but now i am sctually getting boost but still the needle will stay at 0 until i rev it

[danielmcn]

your reading boost from before the throttle. when its closed the boost gauge will have nothing to read. find a source after the throttle body(on the intake mani itself not the intercooler piping) to read from. I am almost willing to bet money on that.

you say when you plug the maff in it revs up? sounds like you need to go through and adjust all your sensors and check for boost and vac leaks. get a timing light and set the timing per the fsm. make sure all that is done and not the problem.

[Acecool]

There should be a nipple on the rear of the intake mani which is for the boost gauge.
