i've got a R33 GTS-T series 1 and it won't idle.. it runs perfectly fine when your driving around it's just as soon as i take it out of gear it'll die.. i've replaced my air flow meter, coilpacks and plugs.. cheked every hose for leaks, replaced my intake gaskets, done a complete service on it and it still wont idle.. i'm running a aftermarket plumback BOV and i'm completely out of ideas on how to fix it.. if any1 can help plz do..

My suggestions;

I'm leaning towards that aftermarket BOV being the culprit, return to the stock BOV to see if you still have problems.

Clean IAC

Put the ecu into base idle mode and adjust the idle up

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
