Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced trouble once getting over 300wrkw with an RB25DET. The engine has enough mods under the sun to support it but once you start to run a fair whack of boost(~1.5)the power just drops off after 4500-500rpm thought it was spark so we put in a CDI and didnt seem to help. it seem to be pointing to weak valve springs springs but it has tomei springs, only standard cams though, runs approx. 8.7:1 compression and a 107 or 109 RON fuel. Anyone got any ideas?

Has anyone every had trounble with there VVT/VCT or whatever its called?

Any thoughts would be helpful thanks fella's

Cheers :(

Luke

Is the CDI working properly? What condition are the coil in or does CDI replace the coils?

personally i wouldnt have chosen the CDI route, the HKS ignitor box thingy is the way to go, keep the stock coils that way

What about the exhaust?

Care to list all the mods/specs etc? Might be something a miss in there :(

I'm fairly new to the RB engines, but in alot of other engines, it'd either indicate turbo running out (Although this would equate to a pressure drop, which you haven't mentioned) or most likely the heads/cam aren't flowing enough.

Coil have been replaced with the CDI system theres enough spark there to light half of tassie :dry: I think the turbo is a GT3540? So its not outta puff. Exhaust is 3.5" so that shouldnt be a problem. This is not my car, im just trying to find out some info for them. The head is also ported so that shouldnt be a problem.

On the dyno graph it heads straigh up looking like its gonna too 400kw but then get to 4500-5000rpm and just falls over, not a miss but just faids away and makes around 300-320rwkw

I cant see it being the head its not like it was hugly ported just cleaned up the dags etc. I dont think its the dyno either as they have had more powerful cars on there without trouble with wheelspin.

I will try and get the dyno graph scanned onto computer.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
