my tuner seems to think that my spark is been blown out with excessive boost.... above 16 psi it missfires etc but at the 16 psi it has about 300rwhp or so... im just wondering if it could be something in the tuning of the microtech.... i have irridum plugs gapped to .6 mm..... im just thinking the coil packs may not be putting out enuf spark/strong enuf spark... what sorta power at the wheels are the std coils and igniter setup good for on a r32 rb20det??? cheers guys...

I have a feeling i know which tuner your talking about too. Cause they told me the same thing. I used to have the same problem, the tuner changed the plugs to a v-Spark plug or something along those lines, but the plugs didnt last all that long. I have just changed my plugs to irridiums and its started again, and im only running 10psi :)

Mine only seems to do it after abit of a drive on the freeway tho. If i punch it while on the street its sweet but drive bout a half hour on the freeway, then decide to give it a squirt it'll constantly misfire. I'm actually in the process of sorting this problem out with the mech that put the new plugs in. When he finds a solution i'll let ya know ;)

Hmm, doesnt sound right. I have seen stock ecu, stock ignighters with irridium plugs (I 'think' they were gapped at 0.8) running 18lbs with no probs to 8200 redline.

I have run up to 1.5 bar on R33 with stock ignighters on iridium gapped at 0.8 no probs.

Have you taken care of fuel?

16psi isnt really huge boost. It may be worth dropping Clint32 a pm, I am 99% sure he runs more than 16psi on his R32.

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      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.
