Just had a rb25 turbo installed on my r32 and having a bit of a problem :P when i come on to boost it will go to around 3 PSI then it will f**k up. By that i mean it is seriously missing, then it will stop and start boosting up to 12psi and be fine. It only seems to this if i accelerate hard or drop a gear. Any ideas would be great thanks.

BTW. I am running the turbotech boost controller

Are you actually experiencing turbo lag? I would have thought that an RB25 turbo will need more exhaust gas to spool up the turbo nicely. After all, that's why Nissan's engineer put RB20 turbo in R32 and RB25 turbo in R33. Looks like ur ECU starts to get confused with the "alien" turbo that doesn't behave as it's suppose to be. Do you have aftermarket air/fuel controller e.g. SAFC or even a piggy back Greddy E-Trust/HKS F-CON or a full replacement computer PowerFC? The cheapest alternative is to get ur stock R32 ECU re-mapped. DR_DRIFT here on this forum can do that, and there's a few other mechanics out there who specialises in re-programming R32 ECU chip.

i ran around with my RB25 turbo on the stock computer for about a month, and didn't have a drama with it getting 'confused', rs73....

These are the things i would check:

Are you hitting the factory boost cut? I never ran more than 9psi when i had the '25 turbo, before i got it tuned (and boost cut removed) so i'm not sure if it would be hitting that or not...

Plugs - Are they the right gap? Are they fouled? Worn out?

Fuel Pump - Is it supplying enough fuel?

Coilpacks - Are they stuffed?

Vacuum Lines/Cooler Pipes - You haven't left a line/pipe off somewhere have you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
