hey guys,

i have a serious problem with my rb25det as i have recently installed a greddy type intake manifold and a HKS exhaust manifold where the turbo mounts at the bottom of the extractor. With these new installements into my engine, i have maintained my standard turbo and an external wastegate which is fine so far. my problem occures at cruizing speed in fifth gear. i'll have my rpm below 3000 and as i gradually lean deeper into the accelerator till full throtle and the rpm is building fast towards 6000 and i'm pushing full boost of 0.9 bar, i will suddenly have a power cut from the engine. there will be a 2 second wait till my engine actually decides to start pulling with power again... what could this be???

i suspect that the air fuel mixture is not right maybe i leaned out too much or could it my ECU (standard by the way) going into limp mode as i detects some error? is it a fuel cut or is my fuel pressure not enough? i'm currently pushing 60 psi of fuel though my sard fuel press regulator. i'm also running a 280lph fuel pump and an external wastegate with a HKS pod filter. standard injectors, ecu, cams, and cam pulley, standard rb25det throttle body as well. i have gone mad trying to figure out what the problem is and i have exhausted all possible suspects short of getting my car on a dyno and upgrading my ECU. so i hope someone in this forum could come to my aid.

i have not experienced this problem in any other gears accept maybe once in forth but it always happens in fifth gear.

60 psi is a bit too much - standard is around 37 psi, rising to perhaps 50 on full boost.

So, the engine will be running richer than normal, and I've heard recently that too rich can also cause knock.

Try backing off the fuel pressure a bit.

seems to sound like what yours is doin, happened to me

i changed to a pod air filter, and cause it wasnt tuned for it, as i gradually put my foot down in fifth, as boost came on , it starting hesitating.

Have ya tried doin it putting down your foot in fifth with just standard boost (6psi). And see what it does.

But i think ya pretty much right, after changing ya intake manifold, there would be a different flow of air changing your air/fuel mixtures.

And the standard ECU doesnt recognise it.

Would like to know what it is

If i was in your position i would be savin for a PFC, and a tune.

If you are located in Brisbane i know the best place to go.

5th gear, approaching 6000rpm.

Standard ecu.

This would be at speeds right around 180km/h wouldn't it?

It might be the 180km/h cut out you're experiencing?

Then again, I might be totally wrong...

That's what I was thinking.

Where are you doing 6k in 5th?

Yeah I was thinking it was a bit high, but he does say 'approaching' 6k.

So yeah, just a thought.

.

oh ya guys.. i have to tell yall i have gone to 250kmh on my car with standard boost before... i have a speed cut chip already installed. :laugh: sorry to have left that out :no:

one more thing is that i have started to notice the problem presisting on 3rd, 4th and 5th gears now that i have lowered my fuel press to 55 psi. the possibility of having turbo overboost keeps coming up as suggested by mechanics as i explain my problem to them... what the hell is turbo over boost??? i am only boosing a max of 0.9 bar on my rb25det stock turbine...

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
