I saw you installed a Red speedometer gear into your transmission. Make sure you match the right speedo gear to the radio in your diff. Otherwise your speedometer going to be reading wrong. Great job with the build! YELLOW is the 16 tooth for the 3.36 BLACK is the 17 tooth for the 3.54 BLUE is the 18 tooth for the 3.70 WHITE is the 19 tooth for the 3.90 RED is the 20 tooth for the 4.11 PURPLE is the 21 tooth for the 4.38

[@sherlockholmes60]

Dean Coppini This is the mind boggling part. Why you’d use anything electrical related off a car that killed itself is beyond me. If he’d slow down for a couple seconds he’d save himself so many headaches.

Honestly, Alberto is a one of kind guy. Hes a great fabricator, extremely knowledgeable of all types of cars and motors and not to mention a great fucking friend. hes one of those friends you wanna keep for a long time.

[@gammalight1312]

Adam deserves a sking vacation after this build. At least he has time to go over his work without rushing to finish before the dyno tune. Blessing in disguise.

[@lnvfx]

I feel like there is a short or something in Nicole's wiring harness that is causing the engine to hydrolock.

[@W4rBoY97]

Layne White youre right, theirs 2 wires that go to the injector and if tbey're touching it sends a signal to keep the injector open it could be other wires too but that could be the main problem witb that harness. Its just time consuming to chace that problem in a engine harness. How i know this cause my fc did the same to me and it wasnt a fun time

[@Holdeenio]

I thought that too... Too suspicious to not investigate

[@magnetic0314]

You would think a sensible person would tear the entire injector part of the harness down, inspect it and re shield and loom.

[@ktm300tpiontour8]

Those injectors are well known for sticking open 😂, mate used them on a skyline build and they caused no end of problems!

[@Skreamies]

Your name is the part number, that's pretty cool

[@oskarstaudte]

why is your picture halfed

[@TheChrisey]

It's really easy to find out weither it's the injector or the ECU at fault. All you do is measure the pulses on each connector from the ECU. Preferrably an oscilloscope. But if you don't know anyone who's got one, then use a voltage meter with LEDs, or a single LED with a resistor. Turn it over and make sure the LED is flickering, not constantly lighting. This would have been great to measure as soon as it happened. It could also be a short somewhere. The injectors are driven by a negative pulse, and therefore the injectors will always have a constant positive. This is more prone to shorting out and then keeping the injector open since it could easily short out to ground and suddenly you have a constant ground and constant positive. Try also feeling each injector if any of them give out any significant heat. When an injector is fed with a constant power it will heat up pretty quickly and eventually the coil will burn out and kill the injector.

[@burrowssj]

[@John.strong]

Id go with haltech, only because of a conversation i was having with a tuner and how the new link ecus aren't that good depending on the setup, engine, car whatever They can be a pain to tune and get good idle and power He said he pluged in a haltech and within 30 mins had massive gain in power plus it idles good

[@burrowssj]

What a load of crap John Strong. Totally misinformed statement. We use them every day at the place I work without any idle issues? (like what tuner blames the ecu for an idle issue...?) I've been trying to get Adam to look at the link ecu range for a while now, finally this comment reaches top!. Link ecu = awesome results, tried and tested, proven in motor sports every week!

[@taylorjsam]

I’m not trying to be snarking, I realize it was a joke, but turbo blankets are actually supposed to keep your turbo warm. :) It’s kind of a round about way of saying it, but they mitigate heat soak by keeping the heat in the turbo so it will go out the exhaust rather than heating up other components in your bay. Engineering Explained just did a video the other day actually of you wanna see some numbers.

[@jo3lo85]

He always tries to rush things and never go the way he wants

Thank you Adam and Nicole, Alberto might learn how to drift now

[@miiiikee_]

Alberto is really laid back working on cars. Sucks when people try and make it seem like the engine blowing was his fault and not a year of drifting lol

[@anasamla]

You installed the intake cam wrong... There's 36 teeth, so every tooth is equal to 10 degrees of your camshaft rotation. You should redo the chain so that your timing is at zero with 1 tooth advance, so your dead center where you need to be and can adjust from there if you need to later on.

[@mik.cl9]

I love hearing turbos while idling😍

[@TheGt500joe]

[@jettwelker8636]

When you said you don't want to rush it but impatiently puts old harness in instead of waiting for the new harness.

[@taylorjulian2357]

Did you ever think that Nicole’s SR could have hydro locked because of the harness??

[@banannaninja]

He literally said that in this video.

[@dotdotdot1113]

Dmitriy Barsukov I think he meant did Adam think that before deciding to use Nicole's harness

[@Marco-ip5cw]

Taylor Julian or could have been the ecu

[@andrewbartleman9169]

dotdot dot well obviously he didn't because he used it..

[@adamadamhoney]

Ecu won't cause hydrolock, driver MOSFETs generally fail open circuit -no fuel. Its the software / parameters causing flooding. Or leaking injector oring

[@benholmquist1148]

Predicting turbo drain line failure. That Gates hose isnt going to last that close to the manifold!

[@noxious89123]

Predicting a fire when it fails too. What happened to the heat-sheilding they briefly mentioned?!

[@mikoajgoembka6978]

11:11 master of the second plan :) Nicole. I'm glad Mr.Big Boost finally have angle kit for his car. :)

[@GrantNugent]

The reason it was “hydrolocking” again might have been because you used Nicole’s sr harness. And that was the same harness that destroyed Nicole’s sr.

[@chevyhead7274]

Grant Nugent ya would only make sense

[@Marco-ip5cw]

Grant Nugent yea or could have been the ecu

[@GrantNugent]

Marco Stuff and things But he didn’t use Nicole’s ECU and his was fine before which would only lead to the harness. Since that was the only thing from Nicole’s car

[@SylasG]

Grant Nugent he did use the PowerFC ecu from Nichole’s sr20. Adam’s ecu was an RS Enthalpy.

[@CL-rm6sb]

Marco, are you dense? The only thing in common was the wire harness. Said harness produced the same results in two different cars with two different ECUs.

[@linusandersson6466]

Can't wait to hear this engine scream when it's tuned and done. :) btw. Are you running low or high resistance injectors? I believe The SR20det wants low resistance injectors stock. And since you still have stock ECU you should pay attention to this. It may cause it to hydro lock

[@kingnorlen]

power FC isnt bad at all... i ran my 330whp PS13 Silvia for 5 years without a single problem. its all about the tuners. Altho in this case it seems like it might have been something wrong with the harness (shortcircuited cables or loose connections maybe)

[@niclaughlin5688]

ChevyHead real street is just down the street from his house. I know for a fact that they have aem infinity in stock.

[@niclaughlin5688]

Pierre Norlen he knew it had a problem. Nicole’s car had an injector get stuck. He had the injectors checked. So that leaves the ecu or harness being the problem.

[@CL-rm6sb]

Yep, PowerFC is more than adequate for this car. This isn't a 1200hp build, it's a straightforward setup. C'mon folks it's a simple standalone with straightforward map setups. If you can't get the car to be reliable on that then Haltech/AEM/etc isn't going to matter.

Any reason you prefer it over a Megasquirt system?

[@masterdylan7736]

Thanks to you Adam that you make car blogs about your engine now I know about cars more in engines

[@DriftaholiC]

Check the injector wires against ground. It could just be one that's shorting out. One side gets constant power and the other gets a pulsed ground signal. if that signal wire is shorted to ground the injector will stay open. Really weird to see an ECU fail that way so I want to say it's the harness. Good luck!

[@alexanderbarr]

Another reason you don't rush an engine reassembly.

[@Marco-ip5cw]

Alexander Barr it was either the harness or the ecu

[@manfredhastmark6755]

Wasn’t the engine, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the engine assembly

[@damienwinters603]

Duuuuuuuude powder coat the tubro housing cream it would be cool

[@wtpbs4507]

new product idea: one of those "that was easy" buttons, but instead it's Alberto's voice saying "BIG BOOST"

[@SylasG]

That engine coolant hose that Alberto used for the turbo oil drain is not rated for that application. It’s going to burst or melt, you lose all the oil on track and get rod knock... Use the correct hose.

Alberto on my previous S14 in place of the 3 bolt after down pipe, we soldered a good quality flexible joint, and it release a lot of vibration to the exhaust manifold, you might consider that.
