Neo Fuel Problem

Just finished putting an auto er34 rb25det into a manual hr31, wired it up and got it running yesterday. It started straight away and idles like a dream, except the ecu isn't putting in any extra fuel when pumping the throttle, making it UN-drivable.

I've been over the TPS wiring several times, its got power and at the ECU plug the signal wire reads .45v when closed and 4.0-4.1v at WOT so the ECU is getting the TPS signal and it's working as it should. As far as i know the TPS signal is the only thing the ECU uses for throttle pump injection so this has me stumped. Does anyone have any ideas why this wouldn't be working and how to fix it? Possibly something I've missed in the wiring? Or is there something else than can cause the same symptoms (stabbing the throttle causes revs to drop until the ECU picks up the extra flow via the AFM) that I'm missing?

You need to get a consult connection going so you can see what's going on.

You're also going to need to Nistune it if you want to be able to get around the lack of traction control and ABS that the ECU expects to see. Otherwise it will throw codes about the TCS/ABS comms and the TCS throttle position sensor.

Consult isn't really possible at the moment unless I can find someone local with one, might have a scope around the WA section.

There was always going to be error codes but I was under the impression they wouldn't affect the actual running of the motor? I've taken it for a test drive and apart from this throttle hesitation it drives perfectly and doesn't have any cuts under full boost or anything.

Is it all still connected? If the ECU can't see the TCS TPS it'll have a fit.

The ECU still chucks a wobbly even if it is connected - if there is no TCS computer present to make the throttle do the close-open dance when the ignition is switched on. That's one of the error codes that comes up. Nistune can mask it.

And this stuff can still cause hassles even if you get past all these little annoyances. The Nistune blokes worked out that if you do not have the TCS stuff working, when you up the boost/flow and get up to a reasonably high power level, then the ECU starts pulling shenanigans that feels like a rev/boost limit, and can't be tuned out. It is possible that Stagea ECU images do not have that problem (as they do not use TCS).

Got it sorted, had the ECU boost sensor hooked up to the manifold, moved it to the intake and now it's running fine. Weird.....

That'll do it. I just checked my engine. That sensor is connected to the crossover pipe immediately adjacent to the BOV. I guess it is not supposed to see vacuum.

Spot on. It's very annoying :glare:

One of the wires was broken but it didn't make any difference.

Can u Please explain this a little more?

Had a 34 come in that had the same symptoms as urs after another mechanic did a headgasket. I had to disconnect the boost sensor to stop it trying to stall on takeoff. Such a simple little thing

It seams to not like seeing vacuum, so just make sure it's hooked up somewhere before the T/B and it should be fine.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Hi Jonno, i know its off topic but why did you get rid of your RB30DET and put a AUTO RB25DET neo into your HR31?

Sold the car to my younger brother, put a stocker neo (it's now manual) in for him and I'm selling my engine seperately along with a lot of other stuff.

ah cool . . . are you using the auto ECU that you got with the motor? could be causing issues if you are?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
