hey guys

i am almost track ready with my rb25 s13 build but i have a few issues that need sorting first.

the main problem is the engine isnt able to catch the falling rpm when coming off the throttle. the engine will idle all day but when i blip the throttle the rpm will increase then fall past the idle and the engine will stall.

what voltages should i be seeing coming from the brown and purple plugs for the AAC valve?

i have done all the wiring needed for the conversions and believe it could be electrical, if anyone else has an idea of where to look please tell.

my boost/vacuum guage shows around 24 in hg vac at idle and increases when I let off the throttle.

my bov is venting to amostphere and I read this causes problems however the bov came off my old rb25 r31 which didn't have the idle problem.

When i bought an aftermarket BOV that vented to atmosphere i got told to keep the standard one that vents back because if it doesnt then it will stall after getting off the throttle. So change the BOV to a recirculating one and see how you go.

shit ay, thanks for the input :)

the 31 was running a standard rb25 ecu which is why I kinda ruled out the bov being the problem. unfortunately ill have to weld a tag onto my intake pipe and tap a fitting in so I can recirculate the air.

before all of this iv

just got another question. what gives the signal to increase the rpm at idle when electircs start to get turned on like headlights/high beams and my electric cooling fans? at idle I can switch both fans on and the head lights and the idle will drop. I believe iv

missed something when wiring up all sensors.

if anyone's interested, I have blocked off the bov with a coke can gasket and it's hasn't help much. I did however find that my tps was missing one the two bolts that get undone when adjusting the sensor.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
