ok here we go. Today it was nice so I decided to work on my car.

1st I wanted to diagnose why my horn wasnt working. Ends up being that the relay is bad.

2nd I wanted to bondo my fenders. Thought that I didnt have any hardner so I skipped that task(later found the hardner)

3rd Heat shrink the power wire that enters the engine bay and joins together with the upper and lower engine harness.

4th relocated my s-afc with the extended ash tray thing that I found at the junk yard.

So after all was done I decided to crank her up. Noticed that the throttle and afm wasnt reading anything. Both read 0. So I started to jiggle a few wired and nothing.

went over to the throttle body and unpluged it and the car dies. Normally the revs increase a lil bit but not cut off. Then I went over to the maf and unpluged it. Nothing happened. Now during this whole thing I noticed a lil smoke coming out the tail pipe(just a little bit) So I placed a rag over the maf sensor and nothing changed. I know there is something wrong here but then again why is the maf and throttle not reading on the safc???

When I peg the throttle the engine does like a delayed 2 step and the turbo builds boost. I guess somehow the timing is retarding causing this effect.

Does anyone have any ideas?? I drove the car for the past 3-4 months with no problems. I mean everything I did this afternoon was minor stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mods:

-1989 240sx

-rb25det

-safc

-boost controller 12psi

-3 inch exhaust with cat delete

-freddy intake manifold

-q45 throttle body

-fmic with RFL bov

-aftermarket radiator with slim fans (2 fans)

What about limp mode?? I noticed anouther cat on NICOclub had the same issue. Never told what it was or if he fixed it but it is the doing the exact thing. Would this happen if im throwing a code?? Im sure that I wired the check engine light into the cluster but not really sure how to check codes.

It will have something to do with the AFM wire that you have to use for the SAFC. Probably a dry solder join or it's come loose.

EDIT: Or you changed the settings on the SAFC accidentally where you have to program what type of AFM you are using.

Nah. All my settings on the safc where the same after reconnecting the battry. The power wire,blk and brn wires broke off but I soldered those back. Everything is still the same.

I pulled code 12(MAf) once. Could not get it to pop up again.

I als code code 55. I read here

that this means all ok. When I get home today I guess ill check over all wiring with the maf,tb, and safc

found the problem....

comes to find out that when I went to relocate my safc that I pulled just a lil to hard. At the end of the wires is a plug. Well the plug goes inside the safc and plugs into some computer board inside the afc. I had to seperate it in order to plug it back in. Plus my plugs where fouled out from the none maf voltage. cleaned plugs and reinstalled. All good.

Oh yeah. I noticed that everyone says that the rb25's run rich. Well I have huge throttle body and freddy intake so I subtracted 2% from 5500 rpms to 7 grand. She pulled like a champ

And you pulled the 2% without putting a wide band on it? f**king smart...

Get it on a dyno NOW and check the AFRs.

Not "every" RB25 runs rich. Some have minor issues and make them run lean, although they seem to run perfect. Just guess working is bad

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
