I have finished my car and this was left out. My sparky said I didn't need as it was for the boost gauge for the dash. To me it looks like a map sensor and it could be the cause of the issues with my car.

Please go easy on me as I'm a complete noob when it comes to RB25 engines.

The symptoms are-

-Weird idle once the car is warm

-Breaks up on light throttle over 4,000 rpm

-Forget about any hard throttle..not happy.

From my understanding this device coverts manifold pressure into an electrical impulse for the computer to make it's adjustments..correct me if I'm wrong.

By the way. I'm running everything standard R33 stuff.

Your help would be fantastic. I have diagrams, but I can't find it. Anyone have a pinout number for the computer on this by any chance?

It is a map sensor.

It only operates the standard gauge so not required.

light throttle and 4000rpm breakdown sounds like a fuel issue. Check fuel flow before and after the filter. Do a pressure test and see what it does while driving and breaking down.

You could also have a second issue with the 02 sensor or the coolant temp sensor. Check these with a multimeter.

Also do as suggested above and check for vac leaks.

Thanks for all the replies so far. We did find one issue tonight..Over boosting. I found that the standard boost solenoid has an issue. I bypass this and now the boost/waste gate is working as it should.

It's still surges a bit, but much better to drive now. I had a quick look at the timing tonight cause I've changed the timing belt before the engine went in. I don't think it's right so I'll see someone about it.

I need to check the fuel filter as this car has been off the road for nearlly 9 years. Even though the filter was new when I put this engine in it may be full of junk.

Is there someone in the gong that you could recommend?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
