RB25DE (Non turbo) -

After not starting for a day seems to always start/crank over very slowly and lumpy, after about 3 minutes of trying to start it, it runs but very lumpy and misfires for 5-10 minutes then returns to normal once warmed up to firing on all cylinders... Once started and running it also spits out a bit of water/fuel

Was told it was coil packs - Checked and changed, still does the same

Was told Spark Plugs - Checked and changed, still does the same

Was told Air Flow Meter sending wrong signal if dirty to the ECU - checked and no problem

Was told Fuel lines, if fuel was going into cylinders - Checked lines putting normal amount into fuel rails

Was told head gasket, checked radiator and empty'd the water out just to start it over a couple days without water (to eliminate the fact that it could be sucking in water from radiator, would start normal and fine if it was a head gasket problem with no water, still started lumpy and the same) - Also had plenty of water in radiator, almost full didn't lose any


Was told that it could be faulty injectors, leaking or dripping over night then when started it not running properly due to an ''overflow'' or too much petrol in cylinders hence the lumpy/misfire until that petrol is burnt up.... thought id still post incase anyone knew for sure what it was


Could it be a possible blocked injector problem?

Keep in mind that the problem goes away once warmed up :/

Anyone come across this and know for sure what the problem is??? been bugging me for so long!

Videos of each problem listed below... Although i'm sure they are both related..


Crank over/Start problem -

Running/Misfire problem -


Sorry for long post! really can't figure this one out :/

Just out of interest, does it help starting if you jump start it with another car?

Haven't tried to jump start with another car, but I have tried using a big jump start battery pack with big leads coming off and it didn't seem to make a difference

Quick update... took injectors out and had them pulsing through a bath, increasing the speed etc... cleaned and put back in then a day after no start it did the same, one other thing that iv'e been doing to help find out the problem is have the cover that covers the coil packs removed, and while it is running lumpy and misfiring i removed each coil pack plug/loom one by one trying to find out which was misfiring, for example if i removed a plug and it ran worse, then it tells me that the specific coil pack is working, and if it doesn't effect or make the car run work when i remove another plug I know it is THAT specific one/cylinder that isn't working..................... Done that procedure a few times, whenever it ran lumpy or misfired and it isn't a consistent coil pack that isnt working, it will sometimes be the 2nd coil pack, and the 5th then the next day will be the 4th coil pack only or something... seriously out of ideas :/ and I have had the coil packs replaced with different ones by the way.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
