hey dudes

i have rb20det

full inch exhast

600x300x76 intercooler + piping

pod filter

gtr fuel pump

ecu (mines chip)

and just installed new rebuilt rb25det turbo (by steve murch, new bearings still the same wheels)

now before i installed the rb25det the original rb20det turbo was boosting 12psi (about 0.9 bar)

i ran the car for the first time tonight with the rb25det turbo on and the cars power feels the same but its only boosting 0.55 bar???

Should i be buying a boost tap and cranking this to 1 bar (14.7psi)?? and getting what this turbo can really achieve?

have i done something wrong?

if i need a boost tap wat would be the cheapest recommendation???

any help would be great thx

If you didn't swap the wastgate actuators over, that could be it.

and your settings were different bi 0.35bar which is right on 5psi

R32 standard actuator is set to 10psi.

R33 standard actuator is set to 5psi (....i think with the R33 boost solenoid tweaking it to 7psi over 4500)

If that the case (which it looks like it is), spend 20mins swaping the old actuator back in :domokun:

spot on the money birnie.

Since he won't have the 2 stage solenoid, with just an r33 actuator, it runs about 4.5 psi. since he's got a few mods like ic, exhaust etc, it'll run a bit more - that's the 5.5 psi.

pop the 32 actuator in and i won't be suprised with your extra mods if you get 11-12 psi. she'll rip really hard.

is it pretty hard to do???

i know how to take pipes off the car and unbolt stuff but do i need to set anything?

cheers

2 bolts to undo on the actuator side, and a 'C' clip on the end where it attatches to the gate.

Put on the R32 one in reverse order and that's it. It should be a straight swap out.

No settings unless you have a boost controller or something to play with

hey dudes

i changed the unit over

and i reset the ecu

boost is now around 10 - 12 psi

but im now loosing power and the engine is slightly popping at 4500 - 5500 rpm

do i need to replace the injectors or fuel regulator or a retune or something?

cheers

FYI,

The spring in the rb25det acuator is 7psi rated. Which is 0.55bar i think?

The 5psi is controlled by the ecu then after 4500rpm it grounds the black wire coming from the elec boost tap deivce and runs 7psi from the actuator.

I ran a rb20 actuator on an r33 turbo and it would run 5psi then after 4500rpm 10-11psi...I cut the black wire going to the ecu and then it never ran 5psi anymore..

Cheers

fyi mzturbo, it is not set at 7 psi. well, not on the stock turbo anyways. With just my stock turbo, I connectected the stock solenoid system up. Because I had exhaust and cooler, I was getting 9psi.

with just the actuator, I was getting 5 psi.

The solenoid is a bleeder. The actuator is 5 psi, it bleeds a little air above 4500 rpm, so it gets a few more psi. not the other way round.

the joys of a misfiring skyline

there a billions of threads on misfire

increased boost = harder for spark to jump on plugs = misfiring

solutions? bringing down gaps on plugs = cheapsolution, you still have a weak ignition system

spitfire coil packs = $560 from sliding, it'll fix it

or you could do your own wiring up of igniter's and leads for $100-300, lots more work, theres a few threads about it here and on other sites

intercool is right,

my car done the same thing when is was in R&R mode as it did when it was misfiring.

I had 1.1mm plugs regapped them to 0.6 and the misfiring went completely..

the R&R a tune sorted that out..

ngk bcpr6es which are a .8 gap. It should help with the mis fire unless your coils are absolutely rooted. If it doesn't then either new coils or one of the many fixes that are posted in the maintainence sticky thread.

Dont worry about injectors and regs for now. fix the miss first.

Dude its just a standard RB25 turbo. You really shouldnt need to do much. Just keep gapping the plugs down until it stops miss firing, assuming that sovles the problem. If it does it still means your ignition isnt up to sratch (which is expected as the car is a good 15+yo). You could maybe just put the fuel reg on to be a little safter.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
