Hey guys need some advice.

I have installed and wired a S2 RB25DET into my HR31 and after sorting out a couple electrical dramas i now have another one.

Long story short the car was running sweet and going good i parked up at the pub done the usual cool down car turned off fine, got back into it afterwards she started fine then the Mrs got in and said she seen a spark from the ecu kick panel. Parked up at hers went to turn the car off and just kept on running, gauges, turbo timer everything will go out except for the warning lights only way to turn it off is to stall it.

I thought it was the turbo timer playing up so i disconnected it but still the same.

Mate came around checked relays, computer, wiring fuses still nothing.

I checked the ignition switch behind the barrel tonight no dice, even tapped it like another mate said to try.

Same mate said to check the wiring if there is a poor connection or a short to a ground in the loom. (Will check this soon)

Is there anything else that it could be or i may need to look at?

I used this wiring diagram here:

Mine was a little different as that is wrote up for a aussie 31.

The turbo timer introduces another relay into the ignition wiring. Could be that one. Also, they don't have to stay energised to stay on. The contacts can weld together so that it's always on. If the turbo timer relay was the culprit, then finding a way to stall it out might reset the turbo timer so it looks like everything is off, but as soon as you start it back up, you have a switch providing power all the time that keeps the engine up even when you try to kill it.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
