There isn't one goin to the ebc just the stock gauge boost sensor and I was driving to work this morning and still the same so must of been the hot weather that made the boost come down so would that be an air/ fuel thing goin on ? Maybe that's out and making the boost go u?

mate. take it to a shop.

constantly driving a car that is overboosting and you dont know why is dangerous territory. For the turbo and the motor.

A decent shop can prob look under the hood and easily see what is incorrect and sort it for you.

Also, as im not sure what boost gauge you have been going off in assuming your car is overboosting. But the stock dash gauge is not accurate, nor reliable. Especially at the age of these cars. (mine use to read about 11psi when in fact i was at 14-15psi)

good luck

Lol yer boarder line taking it to the shop and the gauge is a defi unit from Japan not cheap shit hooked up to the fpr as specs says to do friend has a wideband so mite hook that up first and haven't been over boosting it all the time been pussy footing it round for to long now lol

I have lol had one laying around

But my question now is how far does the wastegate flap open on full boost is reached and gases are going thru ?? Mine look like it opens about 50deg is that about rite ?

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
