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.

Cheers

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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
