Hey i have a R33 Rb25det that when driving threw gears its just not reving out,

it may have been a non turbo converted to a turbo in the past?

its just going up to about 5,500rpm till she seems like it dont wanna go further, sounds like its detting?

stock ecu.?

mods are front mount, custom plenum, pod filter.

What do you mean, when it gets to 5500rpm it doesn't want to go no furthur? It physically stops revving at that rpm or it continues to rev but slower?

Also you say it sounds like its "detting", im assuming you mean detonation however it won't be detonation, few people actually know what detonation sounds like and if you can audibly hear it than it is too late. However with your modifcations on a stock ECU it will be running rich so the chances of it detonating are slim.

I'm going to assume that you are hearing the engine missfire after 5500rpm which is causing it to not want to rev past 5500rpm and causing it to lose all power and drive like crap. What spark plugs are in the car and when did you last change them? You seem to have a common skyline missfire issue. Start searching for "missfire" "coilpacks" "spark plugs" and you will see how common it is.

Yep that is missfire. It means the spark can not ingnite the mixture in the cylinder due to a poor spark, usually caused by fouled plugs, too big of a gap or a weak ignition system. Change the plugs and see if it fixes it. Most likely it will, if not than you will most likely have to start looking at coil packs.

What spark plugs are you putting into it?

Also add to the fact the ole - factory ECU.

You've changed the intake properties of the motor via plenum and FMIC.

I dare say increased boost as well.

Couple that with old plugs as you've said... come's as little surprise its running like a bag of shit.

You'll also probably find once you change the plugs - it'll do the same thing again in 1,000km's due to the plugs getting fouled up again.

Moral to the story? Go get a tune!

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
