so, my r33 runs too rich, and when i connect computer to the r33(below the steering wheel) and run the error codes it says o2 sensor is fried (code 13) but i tried changing it (to original sensor from friends car) and it still runs the same and still gives error code and i get like 0.7-0.8 V max (program shows) and my water temp in the dashboard isn't working at all, it doesn't rise at all, so i tried to clean the water temp sensors (both the ones that goes to ecu and the one that goes to dashboard) still nothing the one that goes to ecu shows some Resistance (ohm) and changes as the temp goes down so i guess it at least is working, but then i found 2 empty adapters or whatever they're called and i followed the wires from the o2 sensor and they go through this adapters anyone knows what these are or where they belong (just bought the car) or any ideas what to do next?.. pics below ZAknhX3.jpg

What are the resistance value you get on the ECU sender ?

Does the engine actually get the radiator and hoses hot or they just stay warm ?

Is the hoses to the FPR plugged right and/or in good shape ?

It could be a lot of things, bad engine temp sender, blown fpr or fpr not connected, thermostat stuck open preventing the engine to warm...

if i remember right the resistance was about 1.6 ohm or something, from the 2pin ecu sensor, hoses are in pretty bad shape, i changed a couple ..when i squeeze the radiator hose on the left side of the engine (from radiator to engine) i hear kinda "leaking" sound from behind the engine , the radiator and radiator hoses stay "warm" not "hot" i can touch them with your hands and not get burnt at all, how do i check if my fpr is blown and how to check thermostat, should i remove it and take a look? soon i'll drive this piece of shiaaat off the cliff...

Yep Pic 1 is Auxilary fan plug

Second plug is stock boost solenoid plug

You need to get your Water temp sensor (for the ECU) working properly or the thing will run rich all the time. The O2 sensor is only really used on cruise/light throttle, so will not affect the fuel as much as the ECU thinking the car is always cold

ok, now both sensors are working and car doesn't run nearly as rich BUT the water temp gauge doesn't even go where it supposed to be (half way on the gauge) it goes like 35% up and stays there, even if car were running for like half an hour it stays too cool? Is that a problem? and when i squeeze the pipe on the left side which goes to the radiator, i hear a "leak" like noise from somewhere and if i squeeze long enough you can see air bubbles start coming from the coolant liquid container cause it's see through.. ps the pipe is warm not hot and is easily squeezable (very soft) feels like there is no pressure at all inside. should there be? there's no more "sailing" on idle.

it goes like 35% up

Is there a thermostat installed? If so, it may be stuck open or it may be a low temp one. If not, fit one.

if i squeeze long enough you can see air bubbles start coming from the coolant liquid container

This sounds like your radiator cap isn't sealing properly. The outlet to the reservoir should only open if the pressure reaches the cap's rated pressure. Try a new cap.

ok so , now engine warms up like it should and stays cool after thermostat change , now i have black smoke coming out of exhaust (didn't happen before t-stat change), and a strange noise from crank angle sensor or something it didn't have cover before and there was no noise, now i installed a cover and now it gives me strange noises.. any ideas? and i found out i have r32 ecu

black smoke here :


strange noise here:

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
