Currently running an SR20DE with the following mods;

-Conversion to CAS and coil packs

-Wolf 3d Management

-GT28 400HP Ball bearing turbo with high mount manifold & external 45mm gate

-Trust Cooler

-Bigger radiator

-Big fuel system etc etc

Running about 10PSI of boost it put down 248RWHP, winding it up to 17PSI however with retune picked up about 2HP!

I feel there must be something holding it back, it still has a Cat converter in it, it may be melted, am thinking of removing it next week to see if this helps things, failing this can anyone suggest anything?

Cheers

usually a blocked cat will show up with very slow picking up of vacumm so blip the throttle and see how fast your vacumm needle or the 3d hand set gains...

It picks up vacuum at what appears to be a normal rate, however it is much laggier than expected...

Cooler came of a 600RWHP GTR so I dont think that is the problem.

Also, how will I know if it is running out of spark? They are the stock coil packs, which I know are good for more power than that, and have gapped the plugs right down to 0.5mm.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Remove the exhaust restrictions

whats the max power a de has made

what sort of cam profiles are on the de

if you were running out on the ignition side youd see that on the dyno

when you pushed teh extra 7psi what was teh final afr

Exhaust restrictions will be the next step, maybe tonight.

Dont know the max power of a DE in Aus, but have seen several in US over 400HP at wheels.

Cam profiles on the DE are slightly more lift and slightly more duration than DET

AFR is 12ish no matter what boost.

      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.
