it revs past 2500 rpm.. but good chance the replacment was a dud to.

so frustrating

nah mate if it goes past its working... could have dry joints on the solder inside causing it to cut the signal when you hit a bump.

i just spoke to the old owner and he said the car has a fuel cut defender making the car capable (not safe) of 13.5psi which is what it had goin threw it and it ran fine!

i am thinkin a might have nudged a wire or something when i was changin the exuast gasket... sound like a likely possabilty??

hmmmmm...

first of all. locate that FCD take it out, rewire the loom back to standard. then kill the fcd with fire.

wind your boost down to under 10 psi after that and see what its like.

give the engine a f**king huge service. fuel filter air filter oil filter upper engine cleaner etc, check your tps voltage clean your iac valve then reset your ecu again.

that should take you about a day working easy with beers. even if none of that is the issue, when you find the issue your engine will run shit loads better.

okay so its definatly not the fuel cut defender! put the emanage ecu back in and it idles okay but now it sounds like a WRX and still sounds like the air is leaking some where from the left hand side...

soapy water on hoses should sho up leaks.... not to much tho and watch electrical....

do you not have a stock ecu to put in?

if it sounds like a wrk its missfiring... check coil packs and harness.

i never said the FCD was causing your problems but it willllll. throw it or sell it. you wont need one after you have the emanage tuned.

haha f**k this man, so now its missfiring and not boosting properly...

ive checked and checked for leaks i was thinking maybe theres a crack in the intercooler??

The ecu is stock witha piggy back e-manage.

it seems to be holding idle now and doesnt want to stall when you come to a stop.

would it be throwing out error codes??

all the issues i had with mine it never threw a code......

unplug your piggy back, run on standard ecu, reset it. dial boost to just under 10. put 98 octane fuel in. see how it runs. get it right on stock parts then add one upgrade at a time to see what is causing the issue. if you put it back to stock and its still doing it, then you know its not those parts and you can figure out what its doing.

also if that emanage has a tune loaded on it and you dont have the right mods etc you could do some serious damage!

Was about to say check the pipe between the AFM and turbo inlet - also check the plumbing of the BOV return pipe that joins before the turbo.

BTW - don't take advice from random people about turbo cars. SAU is the best source of info for for RB engines.

My only question after reading this is....

Why the hell would you run 18psi when you've got an emanage which is tuned for 13.5psi... That's just asking your engine to lean out and destroy itself! Especially for a track day when you're going to be Wide Open Throttle all the time...

Yeah, normally people turn the boost DOWN for a track day. You don't need the power on the track, it's better to have moderate power and concentrate on being smooth and taking good lines. An extra 20-30hp at the wheels isn't going to make a huge difference if you are a nooby.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
