Hi, I have created a skyline R32 Gts-t (born with rb20det) and put a

Rb25det in it.

I have installed Apexi power fc and it works super.

The only thing that does't work, my rpm in the original

dashboard.

It works fine in the hand controller.

What could be the problem.

Sincerely, René

Wiring problem only. Must be. I (and many others) have a 25 in a 32 and it just works. I don't know for sure, but maybe, just maybe, the tacho output on the ECU plug is on a different pin between the two. I wouldn't count on that, because you can use RB20 ECUs to run RB25s, so they should be the same. Anyway, check the wiring diagrams, then go fault finding the wiring itself.

Thank you.<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2311">The wires are from R32 GTS-T.<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2312">Does anyone know what color it should be to dash rpm?<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2313">I can measure the pin 7 of Apexi box if there is signal out?<BR closure_uid_9l2gko="2314">and is the same place apexi hand controller gets the signal?

The power supply comes FROM the dash and ECU simply earths the supply. If you unplug the ECU and turn the ignition on you should see about 5V (from memory) at pin 7 loom side obviously. On the RB20 loom the tacho wire is red with yellow trace/stripe. Not sure if it changes colour though at the loom plug in the passenger footwell.

Cheers

When I put the old box (from rb20) on in works fine.

It is pin 7 on both box ??

There is 5-6v on the cabel, but nothing on the scope...

I think pin 7 is fired , can take the signal from where the hand controller gets it? Or from the engine and run it without the box?

Can you confirm which loom you are using, R33 or stagea?

wiring is from R32 gtst but adapted, Box is from apexi R33 rb25det. Sorry if I have misunderstood something, Goggel translation is not very good for Danish :-)

As you said, it sounds like the Apexi computer has a fault with pin 7. I am not sure of your modifications but if the engine is close to standard I would try a stock R33 ECU. If this is not an option you could try getting the Apexi ECU repaired.

    • Hi All,    I have my BW EFR 8474 with a T4 split 1.05 rear housing. Rear housing is ceramic coated and drilled and tapped for EMAP take off.  Supported 520awkw at 35psi through the 8HP with ~5k rpm spare on the BW 127k limit. Ran a 9.98.    Turbo is one of the first that was released but only done ~3k kms.    Asking $2800 happy to negotiate. Only selling to upgrade.   Located Gladstone QLD happy to ship. 
    • Hi is the Toshiba sceeen still available?
    • Just wondering how come the hood was grinded down? 
    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is 2050 rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve very quickly and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. (I edited this from a previous version where I stated 80km/h was <2000, but that was a false memory. If I am rolling at ~1700 in 5th and floor it, it will start making boost before it goes over 2k - which is a separate "experiment" leading to the same conclusion. Which is that the boost threshold is actually quite low. It's not fast there, obviously, but it certainly makes progress towards going fast, which is not what it's been like for a long while!!) Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
