can anyone offer advice on where i should be looking to fix up my stuffup

i decided to give my r34 gtt a wash under the engine bay, on 3 occassions i started the motor and sh ran nice.

after shamming up the excess water, i moved to the snorkal, airbox and filter.

whilst this was off i started the engine to move the car a meter or so and wammm, the air and fuel mixture is off , rough idle, and crap performance.

i tried a ecu reset and now i have the traction light / engine light permenantly on ?????????

any help is worth something

Do/check all these things

make sure your air flow meter (which is a cylinder attached to the airbox and has mesh on both sides) is completely dry(let it sit in the sun for a bit?/hairdryer?), or that you haven't blown any dirt onto it's sensor as that would cause problems too...

Check that the plug/wires to it aswell to make sure they havent come loose..

Check you havent gotten some water in some cracks/all the pipes are well connected and sealed.

you said "i moved to the snorkal, airbox and filter" and then you started the car... did you have the airflow meter connected? if not, thats your issue as you car has no idea how much air it is sucking in...

also, when you did the ecu reset, was everything back in place and are you sure you did it properly? (im not sure how to do it as I have an aftermarket ecu, but just making sure)

gl with it.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
