hey everyone, looking for some help for a mate of mine

car is a series 2 s14 we have just put an rb25 into..problem is the limiter sounds strange, i mean real strange... almost completely flat like a diesel limiter and when held on limiter the car bogs down rly hard and starts to drops rpm....kk dont give me advice on how its a normal limiter and im retarded coz its not!...lol

things that have been to try and solve problem : ECU changed, sparks plugs changed, ign timing checked with light...

engine has had timing belt changed before he bought it, does this sound as though its a tooth out? even though car runs fine and pulls hard for standard turbo....

it is pretty standard with just a turbo back exhaust and front mount and boost t....and splitfires

any help is appreciated.

no we havent... running a standard reg atm with i think a wallbro 255.. will have to check that then... fuel pump is probs ok made 320hp with the sr20 in it before.. cheers for the suggestion

Keep bashing that limiter and you will need to start your expensive conversion all over. The oil pumps in RBs are very weak and make the motor almost suicidal from stock. The reason why is because of the way it is driven off the crank, hitting the limiter will smash the pump to bits and have you nuke your whole motor in seconds not knowing you have no oil flow.

If you did this conversion for a limiter loving drift or burnout pig you really picked the wrong motor. Lucky you this website is filled with an abundance of references to just how bad a choice it was. Just search 'oil pump fail'.

As for the question, sounds like every other stock ecu RB ive smashed limiters with, in fact id be pretty confident I could find a video of my ex diesel limiter RB25.

both of u calm down lol... ino of the problems with rb's and oil... car is used for drift so obviously sees a fair bit of limiter... just after advice on how to fix this...

his old r33 gtst limiter was NOT LIKE THIS... it is not normal...

any more advice?

just thought id post this up because i was warned and its slightly amusing... clipped the limiter driving home tonight and BROKE THE OIL PUMP... haha :)...

to all the non believers u have been warned lol

really? they heaps weak hey?

i wonder why theres so many rb20/25's in drift that smash the limited all day every day without issues ;)

are they different simon? my mates old rb25 copped abused for 2 years before he sold it... like a set of tyres a week abuse... never missed a beat...

different from what? it seems to be the 26's that die before anything else.

rb's not as weak as people make them out to be.

certain parts are (like the pump, as OP just updated with lol)

Otherwise from what I've gathered, some people CAN'T break them while others do without trying....piece of string etc

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
