omg after alot of mucking around i got my car running smooth, still yet to take it to a tunner, not sure why but it is running really smooth with 55 odd psi fuel pressure, maybe something to do with the chiped ECU that came with the motor,

anyway hit roughly 60km/h boost hit and was going sideways :cheers: to a small degree but enough to make a grin on my dial, BTW this is my First RB & to second that vl & to spesify rb25det in a vl :P

yah i know its not ecu controlled, when i ran it at 38 it splutters and stuff, all in all its not tuned, and right now its the stock VL turbo fuel pump, i have an 044 sitting ready to go in. does any of this make sense for the 55psi fuel pressure?

Sounds like a stuffed pump if your having to up pressure to get any flow from it.

I wouldnt risk it that way either as its on its last legs... i wouldnt even drive it till you get a decent pump in there

yeh 55 is way to high lol. i have to buy a adaptor to get rid of my standard reg to instal my adjustable fuel reg, and il be setting it to about 38-40. just so i can drive to tuners...

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
