how can this be stoped?? or do i have to get a bigger turbo??

after doing some searching i found it just to be the turbo runs out of puff thats why the boost drops (but ur mines be boost control related)

best and cheapest upgrade for an rb20 is a turbo from an rb25, its bolt on if you get ALL THE LINES and the turbo outlet!

can be had for all under $500

stock turbo with hks acutotor (spelling)

im guessing the reason why your boost drops off is due to the size of the stock rb20 turbo.

i was running one on my rb25 and i was running 0.8bar (12psi) and above 5000rpm the boost would drop down to around 0.5/0.6bar

Odd you say that. Cause on my ride, stock standard turbo, no boost controller/bleed/etc. After 5krpm, my boost spikes to .7bar. Before that it's .5

i notice that too with my rb25 turbo but i also had an rb20 turbo on my rb25det which drop in boost

hehe dont ask me why i had a rb20 turbo on an rb25det :(

got a 1990 model 32

best to do a search or post up in the F.I area of the forum;

i had a friend with an r31 with an rb20, he uses his rb20 oil line when he did an rb25 trubo swap and the line fit but it pump too much oil onto the turbo and it was smokey as hell, he swap to the rb25 oil line and it worked fine :thumbsup:

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
