well i got my rb25det r31 and it free revs well.

But once you put load on it driving it starts to rev and then breaks down and wont rev, and starts backfiring as if it was a limiter noise...

when you change gears the bov makes a high pitched whistle instead of the normal rb25det bov noise, but thats in 1st and 2nd but from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th it makes the normal noises...

and when you do the limiter revving under load noise when you put the clutch in the revs drop down then it revs back up

free revs all the way out but wont rev under load

what could it be?

coil packs or spark plugs. there are a few different fixes for the misfiring problem.

#1 - gap your spark plugs to .8mm (do that if not already done)

#2 - fix your coil packs, there are a few threads around on how to do this.

as for the bov sound, im not too sure if this fits the sound you described but it might be turbo chatter, where your bov doesnt actually open, the noise you're hearing is the air passing back onto the turbo blades.

Hey you are reading my mind but about four months earlier, If you have played with intercooler and a boost controller on the car you would have noticed that a nipple would be missing on the inlet part of the pipe before the bov that is the vacuum pipe that opens the actuator on the internal waste gate and if you dont have that hooked up you will hit max load causing seveire breakdown at 2k trust me i had the exact problem!!! easy way to fix it is to simply put a T valve in on the blow off valve hose that goes to near the back of the plenum!! that will get rid of your break down at 2k.. P.M if ya want a photo!

made a slight difference but still breaks down, but you can get past the banging and then it tries to pull.. could it be a fuel problem?

but what concerns me is, i gave it a boot full and then went to go into my driveway, stopped and the car stalled, then i started it again and it stalled again but started it and gave it a rev and it idled fine...

its quite farken easy u see...

u get a gapping tool, pick the gap u want, get ur spark plug out, tap them on the ground softly until the gapping ruler u are using fits between the sparking element and the underside of the tip. ur spark plugs come pregapped at 1.1 thats not enough for boost past 6-7psi. that will work, if ur unsure how to do it, go to ur mechanic.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
