if i start my car after for 3-4mins of it sitting there it cuts out...ignition stays on but the engine dies...??? ( i dont have a turbo timer)

even if i rev it in that time it still cuts out after 3-4 mins...i doesnt cough and spluter like its strugling to keep running it just simply cuts out...this has never happend while driving or being stuck in traffic...just when ive left the car running while having a chat to someone or warming it up in the morning...doesnt matter wheather its hot or cold....

If you get out of the car after it's been running fine, and leave it for 3-4 minutes, would it stall then? Or does it happen PURELY if you haven't moved it?

Can you time it? Start your stopwatch and let it run till it shuts off. If it's a perfect number every time, you could suspect some sort of "feature" doing it. If it's random, then you can keep sussing it out.

Nice to see people reading your post properly eh? =-p

Only happens when car is warming up/not driven.

Doesn't happen after driving and then letting it idle.

Doesn't cut out while driving.

I'd be interested to see how accurate the timing of it is. Like I said, this will give you a faily good indication of whether it's an intentional thing or a real problem

put the handbrake down, see if it turns off after 3/4 mins

usually alarms timer/alarms are on the handbrake

and if it doesnt happen when your driving... would be cause its down.

If that is the case, then its alarm related, time to see an alarm installer as i bet its a mess.

Oh... I was going to suggest;

In the interests of testing your alarm features, try starting her up one morning, then doing the seatbelt up and closing the door. See if it dies.

Next morning, start her up but leave the door open.

I recken if it is related to an alarm, it'd be a safety feature against car-jacking or accidentally locking keys in or something like that.

Like... remote start on a timer... some alarms have those. I guess if it starts the car at 8AM for you, and you don't get in it cause you're on holiday or something... it would make sense for it to shut the motor down if you haven't entered the car. I'm guessing for that to work, the alarm would have to be ignorant as to how the car was started. (remote vs key start)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
