OK, I am new here, I have an rb20det calais. It's not running right, not sure whats wrong with it, but it just needs alot of maintenance.

The problem I had tonight was it would not start. cranked with plenty of power but would not start up. took about 5 minutes of trying and she came to life, drove for about a minute, got through a set of lights and just stopped. What it felt like was all my spark was gone. sat there for another 10 minutes trying to crank it over. it would start up and hover at about 300 rpm and then die. tapping the accelerator would bring it up 100 rpm or so then it would die. it felt as if it was only running on 4 or 5 cylnders. the coils are all good, as are the plugs. just wondering if anyone has had a similiar problem, or may know of something it could be.

These are the other two posts I have started asking for help, I am not expecting you all to read through them both, but I thought I should put them on here so that everyone gets the whole picture.

I unplugged one of the TPS connectors, the connector coming off of the side of the TPS, not the bottom one and it came to life after a couple more attempts. I do not know if it was because I unplugged the TPS or just coincidence.

Any help anybody has would be greatly appreciated. This is my daily driver and having it stalling on me is something that I can not handle.

Thank you all in advance.

Kind Regards,

well i am not too sure. I believe the loom is factory. it definately seems factory.

would anyone be able to shed some light on how to test the tps. i tried the other day, and it was 0.00v or 12.0v. nothing in between, but that was me trying the plug coming off the side, not the bottom plug.

Which plug, and which pins should i test?

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
