Ive recently dropped my RB20 back into my 32 and she is running a little rough.. i have cleaned up and changed alot of things to help make it run smoother but its still sounding like a subaru lol, i think im just avoiding the fact that it really needs a tune

So ive looked around the forum and i cant seem to find anything direct, but i was looking for the best place in PERTH to get my RB20 tuned and for the best price with the best service

can anybody direct me? thanks guys :D

It will sound like a subaru because its running on 5 or 4 of 6 cylinders. Check the leads, coil pack, spark plugs, injectors, injector wiring etc. these will cause ur car to miss fire permenently on a cylinder. Hence make subi noise.

Most normal mechanics can fix this

good luck.

read the consolidated workshop thread and you will find answer to your question

there is not 1 best there are lots of personal preferences for wrksops

eg one person prefes x-speed another will say hyperdrive/top racing etc

yeh as above.

best bet would be to ring around to the workshops, tell them what you need done, or what the problem might be.

and from there on, you decide what workshop.

i see, well we have checked my ignitor, coil packs etc and found that it ran a little better with a different ignitor. i have checked the leads, they all seem to be fine, i was told to run some injector cleaner through my fuel, and use 98 octane which i have done except she's still running rough

i have a VG30 turbo going on, looking into getting some gtr injectors, 040 and dif fuel pressure reg etc, and my computer has been remapped according to a mechanic friend? i dont know how he could tell, but yeah...

so i was going to get it tuned with that, thanks for the info guys

I would figure out why it's misfiring before you bother upgrading turbo etc and trying to get it tuned. If it's not running right when you take it to be tuned you'll end up paying through the nose for the tuner to figure out what is wrong before he can even start tuning the car.

Do some experimentation and analyses by trial and error.. start the engine and unplug each coil one at a time, see if it makes any difference. Can also swap coils from good to bad cylinders to see if it's the coil or the harness. Do the same with the injectors.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
