Troubles With R34

Hey guys

I've got a 4 door r34 which was imported from japan about 6 months ago and I have spent plenty of money to try and get it pretty quick!

Mods are as follows:

Garret gt3076r turbo

800cc denso injectors

Link g4 ecu

Xforce 3.5 inch exhaust

Greddy fmic

Slitfire coilpacks

Walbro in tank fuel pump

H/duty clutch

Now all this work was done at a tuner and they tuned it to 356hp@19psi. It wasn't a very good tune coz the motor was apparently on it's way out so they pulled heaps of timing out of the tune!

So now I have taken my car to a new tuner who has a very good name to try and get some more hp and a better tune! But they did a pressure test on the engine and found I was losing pressure through my 5th cylinder!

So I purchased a low km engine through these guys and decided to do some more work while the engine is out!

New mod list:

Low km neo rb25

Larger rear housing on turbo

Tial 44mm external wastegate

Now my problems have just started.. The tuner has had my car for almost 3 weeks now and can't seem to tune it properly.. Has only managed to get the car to 230hp@15psi.

He has been working with the old tune from the other tuner and trying to modify it to get it right but no luck! The car seems to spool up nice but plateus around 5000rpm. And one minute the car is running lean.. The next it's rich!! Should he be starting from scratch with a new tune seeing as though it's a new engine in the car? Or does this sound like another problem?? L

Is fuel pressure properly under control? If the regulator isn't the same one between engines, (ie moved your injectors to the new engine's rail) then that would be a leading contender. I'd be looking at the fuel reg for a start, and testing the pump out, even if it is new.

Seeing as you've put a different wastegate in, you'd do well to make sure that that is closed when it is supposed to be and open when it is supposed to be.

Yeah, so that's the point. How is the original one doing? They do die you know. Also, the pump might be crappy. Might have sucked something into the inlet or some other hassle that means it can't deliver enough pressure all the time. When a car is on the dyno being tuned, especially if the tuner is having trouble getting consistency, then it should have a fuel pressure gauge plumbed into the line and visible to the tuner so he an see what's happening with that whenever the car starts to misbehave. Also offers the possibility of saving an engine from blowing up on the dyno.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      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
