Rb25det Full Throtle Problem

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...

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
