Just fitted another RB20 to the cefiro, it starts first turn, idles perfectly and smoothly, the problem I have is that it rises thru the rev range slowly - like it has a blocked Cat or something, but exhaust is straight thru system!!!

Have replaced injectors, plugs, AFM

ECU Diagnostics show "55" (a first for my car!!!)

any help leading to the solving of this problem will lead to a cash reward!!!

Stupid question BUT have you replaced the airfilter? My dad and I did a rb20 conversion in to a r31 - it had no go at all - the airfilter looked ok but we changed it and straight away you could hear the turbo and it had some go.

Check the fuel filter and intake.

I had a similar problem turned out to be a compination of a not so perfect airflow sensor and a dody fuel presure regulator, apparently a suspect fuel pump might give similar symptoms.

Try and borrow a fuel pressure reg and a airflow of a working rb20 and see how u go.

Its an rb20.. They all rev up slowly due to the lack of torque. :)

Have you thrown a timing light on it while you rev it?

A friends CAS was fine when setting the idle ign timing but when reving it would go massively retarded. It could be seen by throwing a timing light on to it as you rev it up.

I beg to differ.

If the dowl that esures the CAS can only be fitted one way is broken off then the CAS can be fitted one spline out retarding or advancing the timing accordingly.

Im not talking about the entire spline only the small key way style dowl.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
