Hey man im at my course now so i can reply immediately cose its sooooo boring i cant be f*$ked listening to teacher... . Wrong man, its a RB25DET engine not RB20DET engine =). 2.5l turbo but im taking turbo off cose of insurance and my parents either 2moro or on friday so its gonna suck but still great car I love it. Also, where is a good wrecker in livo, fairfield area? Prefeferably nissan or Jap imports dealer? and also... the date and time of meet up plz

What the ?????

Dude, Ronin is right, unless you have had a transplant... R32=RB20DET - 2.0L.

Taking the tubo off doesn't sound like a good idea to me - the compression will be too low for an NA. Not sure how good that would be for you.

Cheers,

DarkZero: unless your car has had an engine conversion it would appear you are incorrect. The R32 GTST uses an RB20DET not RB25DET.

Also as Brendan said, taking the turbo off your car to avoid insurance problems is rather foolish. Not only will your car run very very bad but you will loose any resale value you would have had on the car and it will prove to me more hassle than its worth.

If you must have NA then surely you would sell your car as is and buy a non turbo.

PS: im sure all will be revealed on Saturday night when you pop your bonnet for us. If we find as we suspect and your engine is an RB20DET we may have no choice but to nominate you to pay for all the pizza :D

Mr R32 is here!

It sounds like a transplant as R32 came in RB/20DET/25DE/26DETT.

Taking the turbo will make you slower than R32's with a RB25, cause like others have said, compression is too low, and may play funny games with the ECU.

hey guys

just hyping u on fellas see if u know about skylines lol =)))). Its a RB25DE (no T) but they can have Turbo bolton. so it is a non turbo GTS25 (still 2.5l not 2.0l). hopefully i'll be there to pop up the bonnet but i need to clean the engine its dirty as inside since i just got it. and Im not paying for pizza as this damn car set me broke =(

sorry for being a dhead and thanks for ur comments u guys know what u talk about although they do come in turbo but mine aint =)

it's more than just a bolt on cause, now it's too much of a high compression :D and the ECU will not take too likely to a turbocharger being wacked on.

Sorry to say but transplant is the best way to go.

Hey

Yeah, transplant is better ofcourse but im only 18 with red ps and no money so that is no option (how much? $3500 for new engine with turbo?) plus insurance on top of everything its a car which gets me from a to b (in style and fair power =)).

I need to get a new front grill and badges off wrecker. I'll have a look at the one stated above unless some1 here has spare ones for sale?

Thanks

It's easier if you sell it off and get a car that's turbo from factory cause insurance companies will consider the car as "modified". You need engineer's certificate, upgrade brakes to match the power and maybe other things. It's a headache you can do without. Talk to the guys at the cruise and they'll tell you the same thing and maybe even more.

As I said... no performance mods for near future except air filter, exhaust and all that cheapy stuff. Also what does premium unleaded do? any extra performance or is it just healthier for engine. For my R32 2.5l what is better? Unleaded or premium unleaded?

Thanks for your opinions dudes

I gotta go with you boyz on this one. R32 is 2 litre unless its had an engine replacement, and i guess theres more work in putting the bigger engine than just pop it in, and why would you bother. You would just by a 33, they are cheap enough...anyway I havent even heard of the 2.5 non turbo thingy (bloody noob I am)i'll sell you mine for 50 grand (good virgin exhausts are pullin this type of cash these days...mark my words)

Wow! Mine's worth a mint then! No more TWS meets for me then!:D

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
