Rb20det Boost Cut?

hey guys i just changed the inlet and outlet gaskets on the turbo as it was making no boost when i bought it, and now that the exhaust leak is gone it sounds normal and makes boost, but cuts out when it hits around 12-14psi. the car is completely stock, and i mean literally completely stock. first off, how come it makes 14psi. And secondly, is there a built in fuel cut etc that kicks in around 1bar? need to get it on the road asap as my other cars have a few issues lol. thanks in advance guys.

yes there is a built in cut in the ecu.

as for the pressure it is running, check to make sure there is no boost controller in the hose from the intercooler piping to the wastegate actuator. if there isn't then when you replaced the gaskets you may have reinstalled things so that the wastegate flap is fouling on something and not working properly.

Pretty certain RB20DET doesn't have a fuel cut. Only limiters built into the R32 GTSt is a rev limiter (around 7500), and a speed limiter (180kph).

So, how many revs are you pulling when you have 12psi and the "limiter" cuts in?

It could be running high boost for a number of reasons, like a leak in the wastegate actuator hose, or the wastegate isn't opening correctly.

the wastegate vacuum hose has a manual valve t'd into it, so i removed it today and it now hits around 12psi again but the engine doesn't cut out. it still acts a little strange sometimes when its on 12psi i.e hesitation etc. but overall seems to be running better. and no fun police now lol. looks like its making 12psi at around 3000-3500. couldn't really watch but it build really quickly.

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
