A mate of mine got a 2540 turbo put on his RB25DET Skyline, but is still using the stock cooler. His car is running excessivly rich, and will start to miss as soon as he comes on boost. Basically the car is undrivable in this condition... it also stalls as soon as he put the clutch all the way in for more than a fwe seconds (eg, coming to a stop).

Could this have something to do the the stock cooler he is still using? the 2540's actuator has a 1 bar base pressure, and the turbo is having trouble making more than 0.5 bar of boost - with heavy missing and backfiring.

OMG !!!

A 2540 at 1 bar with the stock cooler !!

Sorry, just a bit shocked...

It could be a few things.

The stalling thing is usually due to a BOV venting out into the air, does he have one of these?

The misfiring could be something as simple as the spark plugs still having the factory gapping on them. Whip them out and reduce the gap down to 0.8 - 0.7mm.

He should really reduce the boost down to .5 bar until he get's it run up on a dyno and get's a cooler to match the flow of the turbo. But this is a bit hard when you've got a actuator set at 1 bar :P

I presume he is still running the stock ECU? If he is, I dare say the stock ECu is having a heart attack trying to figure out the new turbo.

Yeah he's getting a GTR cooler installed today... so that should flow a lot better. He has a stock ECU which can be remapped... but it hasn't been remapped or anything yet.

Yeah i know about the rev drop with the BOV... but it shouldnt be this bad... it stalls even when you dont go on boost, just when you stop suddenly.

So are you saying that he does have a BOV that vents into the air?

Remember that the 2540 will flow more air, and even when your off boost the wheels are still spinning.

So if the after market BOV is set wrong, you get air comming back out the AFM, or out the BOV which will = stall.

The GTR cooler should be a good match with the 2540.

Let hope he's fuel system will keep up.

HI RHiSC, the standard RB25DET injectors are rated at 370 cc, which is good for close to 400 bhp. You won't get one 2540 anywhere near that power output. Save the money, doesn't need injectors. The R33 GTR intercoolor is good for 300 rwkw, also way beyond the 2540, so OK there. The Bosch 040 fuel pump is good for 235 litres per hour which = around 520 bhp, so it will do the job just fine.

Hope that helps

I dont know anyone in aust who can do this yet..

Macka - I stumbled across this the other day;

Don't know how good, or even how much it is.

I've got a funny feeling that they use a R32 ECU with a PIC chip for the VCT and re-tune it for a R33.

I've got a R32 ECU still sitting here that I might 'one day' get re-tuned for a R33..........

Just a logical thought from a "none expert".

If the engine has 550cc injectors and running the factory ECU, wouldn't the ecu be flooding the engine? As the 550cc inj. can flow more fuel than the 370cc.

For this set-up you must really run an aftermarket ecu as it would operate alot smoother and unlock ALOT more power from the engine.

Just my 2c.

Gday Fellas :D

Jay I had a qhuick squizz it doesnt say much about the r33s in fact half the site was down when i looked?? I had a tip secret tuned rom in mine it consisted of no daughter board but a reprogrammed EEPROM which is electrically eraseable unlike the roms with the windows (uv eraseable) which is what is normally used. So maybe your right

Im with you sydneykid, altho the wolf4d plug and play looks good too :)

If you use bigger squirters your engine will run rich across the board Al yeah..will need a whole retune

Hi KamikazeR33, the standard R33 RB25DET AFM seems to have good enough resolution at 40 lbs of air per minute (enough for 400 bhp), which is more than the 2540 can supply. So I doubt it is an AFM problem, unless it is faulty.

Hope that helps some more

I have install the wolf 3d "plug-in/plug and play" in my car, while running the stock turbo. I felt this was the better order to complete mods with. I notice a big up in performance, especially in the low to mid range.

VERY PLEASED WITH THE ECU :) :uh-huh:

Will PM u about dat wolf big AL :D

Glad to see that my logical thinking was correct. (Glad for myself, but feel sorry for the person in question)

With any mods, you should always sit down and think what your long term goal is, and then persue it, in a researched manner, by setting up all the support systems first.

my 2c worth.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
