Sooo, on the way to Canberra today I gave it a bit of the lead foot and pop no more power.

The symptoms explain to a tee that it could be the intercooler piping has popped off.

Not able to idle runs like shit when forced to, black smoke billowing out, and it sounds kinda like a suby when I hold throttle to 1k 2k.

So now I'll be checking the intercooler piping. This will be my first time so I'll just be checking the fmic and trace the pipe to where it goes.

Is there anywhere else I should look if I don't find anything?

Yes I have googled.

Thank you

Like you said just trace all piping, you could also spray soapy water on the hoses and start the car and look for bubbles

You'll only get bubbles if there's boost. At idle it will suck the soapy water in.

I hate it when the pipes blow off. I would be driving on juice, then you hear a PSSH and its like MOTHERf**k. Check the bigger cooler pipes and if you find nothing, check the vacuum lines. If you still find nothing, do a proper intake pressure test and THEN use soapy water. Soapy water on an idle engine is all vacuum lol.

Thanks for the tips guys. But as was said before it was a fairly easy find after you take all the parts off.

I didn't take the bumper apart, I just took the front lip and all the belly plastic off and vuala the on the passenger side, just above the indicator blew off.

I feel so much better now :).

Thanks again you are the best

Ok back to the drawing board. I have hooked up the intercooler pipe that popped off but the car is acting even wierder now.

My battery was flat so I just got it jump started then. But the car is running terrible.

What else could have gone wrong?! It's not like before where I put the throttle down and I could at least hold the revs. But not now. It just wants to stall straight away.

Wtf else could have happened. Let me just note that I checked the passenger side first and did not think to go to the drivers side.

Any more help/advice?

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
