Full Throttle High Rpm Problem

Hi, I have a small issue with my RB25DET. Under full throttle from about 5,000rpm to redline I get a strange slight surging. If you back off the throttle slightly to 90% it's fine. It kind of feels like boost is going up and down slightly.

The car is a '96 R33 5 speed with BOS importing front pipe, Catco wide body cat, Trust PE2 cat back, Apexi pod filter and R34 GTT intercooler apart from that it's stock.

I've recently done a full service on it including new NGK plugs and fuel filter and it runs very smooth and powerful except for this small issue. Anyone got any suggestions on what could be causing this? Would be glad to hear any ideas.

Thanks for that. I thought maybe the fuel pump isn't supplying enough pressure or AAC valve fluttering. The car seems to have a lot of power and must be right on the limit for the stock fuel pump, injectors and ECU so when you back off the throttle slightly reduces the air going in and everything is OK. Might just leave it and not worry too much about it. Could it be the factory boost controller sticking or stiff might try a Turbotech manual boost controller and see if that has any effect.

Did they change the walbro pumps?

There wasnt a shit show of fitting the stock filter sock to mine when i put it in. Faced the wrong way and wouldnt let the pump sit down.

Ended up breaking off the circlip tab too :( And apon my last pump inspection, the walbro sock is also gone. lol. Wonder how long ago it fell off...

Ive never had any drama's. U have to cut the bottom of the bracket off though and use a hose clamp to mount the pump theye bracket

Yeah i never had any drama fitting it as such. It fits fine without cutting the bracket at all.

It was just where the circlip sat. Didnt allow the factory sock to point in the right direction, therefore holding the bracket up. And unfortunately for me the circlip snapped off when i took it back off lol. And the walbro sock went for a dive.

Need to fish it out or get a new one and try the hose clamp trick. Although from memory there isnt really the space for a hoseclamp.

I've been reading up on fuel pumps for Skylines. The Walbro's are cheaper but there seem to be some fakes floating around and they max out at 60psi also for them to run at max they need a wiring mod, easier to get a better pump. The Bosch 040 seems very good but more expensive. If you measure the stock pump and install the new pump so the intake is at the exact same height inside the tank it should avoid any issues.

Think I'll get one of these looks like good value.

The Walbro without the wiring mod would be OK for my setup but don't want to risk getting a dodgy fake.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
