hey everyone

Alright so the last week or so i have been getting a rb25det installed into my r32 gts-t, everything has been going fine in the conversion however there is one problem i have run into and that is the engine wont turn off. i do have a turbo timer (apexi pen) however i set that to off mode and yet after taking the key out off the ignition the car seems to keep running for 5-10 seconds and then turns off.

Would any body be able to give me some ideas into what i could check for, could it be something to do with the wiring? we used a rb25 ecu as the engine is a S2 rb25det with vct.

If any one could help or has run into the same issue before please let me know.

Cheers, Niran

Seeing as you've dropped a new engine in, I doubt this is the problem, but is there an alarm/immobiliser installed?

Some mongoose ones have built-in turbo timers that you wouldn't even realise are switched on, until you go to turn the car off..... and it stays on.... lol

dare say the turbo timer is still an issue, remove it or disconnect it fully and see how that goes.

hey man, will keep going through wires i doubt its that as i had the same one on the rb20 engine and when put on "off" mode it would turn car off as soon as the key was taken out

really, im not to sure exactly what one i have but i will look into that.. however this never happened with the rb20?? is there something that could have caused this to happen?

how does the car turn off? is it an instant click and its off? or does it die down and kind of stall?

im glad you asked that, its a die down stall so basically its running then starts to stall and stop

sounds like something is backfeeding into your ingition, check all of your wiring as well as your earth points in the engine bay.

it could be your alternator or (most likely) another accessory that stays on 5sec after you turn the key off. stay in the car and switch it off, keep an eye/ear out for accessories (deck, lights, electric fans etc..) that stay on while the car is on, and turn off at the same time.

see if you can track it down that way.

is there anything special you've added to the car like electric fans? or is it a straight swap with nothing extra added?

hey man will try all this

was an upgraded fuel pump added/modified?

yes there was, we had a bit off problems with it from the start when trying to get it started, i have a r32 gtr fuel pump installed that then has been re-wired using the original fuel pump 12v as a trigger switch to run the new relay that feeds power straight from the battery so it gets 13.8 v constantly..

however this set up was run in the rb20 also, do you reckon this could be the problem?

i sure do.

use the standard 12v as your +ve terminal and see if it shuts off instantly. if it does, your relay is whats causing it to stay on.

awesome thanks man, will go to the workshop and try it out

      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.
