hi there, ive got an rb25det c33, did he whole conversion in my garage, auto to manual, adjusties exhaust and all, minimal tools, no experience just alot of reading. car started first pop and ran mint for a bout a year now. ive just put a greddy style front facing on and its idleing high. i have spent weeks trying to fix this, ive checked and cleaned iac valve, removed cold start all together, tested for vacuum leaks a million times, throttle body is completly shut yet it still idles at 2000 and is always hunting and miss-firing. if i block the hose to the iac valve the idle will drop to about 1000 but as sson as i touch the throttle again with the hose unblocked it jumps back up. any help or brainstorming on this would be really appreciated

also, because i got the 80mm TB i had to change my tps, ive doubled checked all the wiring and everything ive done but i think i may have done something wrong because at idle it reads almost 5v and goes down to about 1v and full throttle? its all backward but cant see what ive done wrong, maybe its the wrong tps?

Nissan ECU wants to see about 0.45V at idle, throttle closed. You could get yourself a variable resistor, wire it across the TPS connector and adjust until you measure 0.45V going back to the ECU, see if the idle drops to something more reasonable.

If you have a Nissan TPS on the car now, and it is reading 5V closed and 1V open, there is something rather wrong with the way it is wired up. I'm not even sure if it is possible to wire one so that it does that.

ok everybody, so ive sorted my high idle, after a few weeks of goin over all my wiring and valves, thinking i had done something wrong, i realised the tps was working backward, i could see any scenario where my wiring could cause this so got my mate tps from an r32 and as soon as i had the 2 side by side, i could see mine was different. my pigtail was on the opposite side, and on the steel side of the tps there is an arrow, mine pointed anti clockwise i think and his was the opposite, sure enough plugged it in and bobs your uncle, low smooth idle again. so for anybody wondering, your tps does matter, mine was from a maxima, didnt work, hope this can help someone in the future, thanks everyone for your help

cant see how switthchin the wires would work, like gts boy said, variable resistors dont work that way, but hopefully the wrekor will have the correct tps tomorow and i can put my br an rack spaers in and get back on the track. such a stupid mistake cant believe it got the best of me for almost a month haha live and learn

ok, i lied, swapped the tps over today, car drives a million times better, can now go foot flat without it dieing or studdering. managed to get it to idle at about 900 -1000rpm, but it slowly creeps up to 2000rpm. this is driving e insane, quick question, the vac line from roker case to plenum has a litle valve on it, should this be leeting air from the cover into the plenum at idle? i messed with cas a bit, nothing, swapped AFM, still no change, also my ecu doesnt have an idle screw so that sucks. i am litterlly open to any ideas no matter how wild they are

did you have any luck with this? I've got the exact same issue r33 rb25det with greddy inlet plenum 80mm throttle body brand new S1 TPS idle is all over the shop, sometimes it idles great about 700 then other times between 1500 and 2k even when driving it bogs down now when accelerating from start but when you turn the car off and back on it runs fine. going to powertune on Thursday to see if they can shed some light on it for me

im located in nz mate, so i got a new tps tuned it in and the car drove gret apart from the idle still being high, took the tb off to have a proper look, found the only way i could get it to reallu seel was if i let it ping closed at speed, but then it would also stick shut, so i got a new tb sent out to replace the old one, and iwith a bit of time setting and loctiteing everything just right, ive now got my car idleing at 600 which is really nice and low, it hunts everynow and again and sometimes dies when u let the revs off but a bit of playing around should fix this, confident ivegot it sorted now, cheers everyone

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
