any one experienced what im getting?

k now ive just recently wound my boost up to 11psi and when im pushing my car from down low, it hits 11psi

and if my rpm is below 4k its like it cuts out and comes back to life very quickly, almost like you're giving the

clutch a good ol poke, as soon as the rpm is above 4k it holds 11psi fine and doesnt miss a beat, now its already

got split fires, but im almost wondering if the fuel pump or injectors arent delivering enough fuel.

im still running factory injectors and sadly the ceffys na auto rb20e fuel pump, boss tells me fuel pump will still

deliver required fuel pressure so im unsure, im picking up an 040 soon so i guess ill find out.

the one thing that is making me reconsider that its a fuel prob is that my old factory rb20 skyline held 14psi no

probs and never let me down, i mean that felt like it had more poke than my 25

any one shed any light on my problem

cheers

yeah it is, i mean the car takes 9psi lovely, takes 10 even better but if i squeeze the throttle and make 11 too early, :D and the ghost has pushed my clutch pedal

theres no tune on the car, and my only mods are 3" tbe, front mount, manual boost cont, splitfires and a pod

mmmm indeed aye

mmmm ive heard that standard coil packs fail under higher than 10psi boost, now its not a constant prob, its only every 2-3secs under full load under 4k rpm

i forgot ive only got 5 splitfires and one standard coil

Hey man, i think im in the same boat or the one next to it. I think its my actuator. ill try changing it soon. its kinda like a mini surge aye, then hits you with full power again. I dont think itl be fuel related as it pulls hard to the redline, its just that tiny lil surge.

yeah im still runnin standard ecu but like i said, my 32 handled 14psi easy and that was all standard in terms of ecu, injectors etc, as for the surge itself, it feels like im stabbin the clutch every couple of secs till i hit anything over 4k, mysterys, gota love'm aye

^ +1 or get a PowerFC

You might have been running 14 psi in your R32, but 14 psi on an RB20 turbo is different than 14 psi on an RB25 turbo. (I realise that you are only putting it to 11psi and this is happening, just making the point that they are not equal volumes and therefore not comparable)

It has nothing to do with your injectors or any of the other stuff, its the standard ecu seeing too much air going into the engine, and retarding the timing (R&R= Rich and Retarded)

I've had this, its like it just drops into a lull, and then surges once you get over 4-4.5k.

haha ah i got ya now, yeah ill just drop it back to 10 for now, i got a gt35r going on later so ill need to upgrade comp and tune so ill wait till then to do that, cheers for the help fellas

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
