Hey guys, first post on this forum. I have recently bought a new car. An 1994 r33 gts-t,which has a RB25de neo in it (n/a as im still on my p's) im having and issue with it idling (plan on cleaning the aic this weekend/during the week) and it is running rich and very poor fuel economy. I believe it may still have the r33 gtst ecu (ecu has blue label on it) I would like to know if it is possible that the ecu is the problem, i have clean the afm, done plugs and changed the coilpacks to splitfires. thanks and i look forward to being involved with this community :D

Wait, so it's a GTS-T and someone's pulled out the RB25det and put in an RB25de?

If so, you may as well have bought one with a turbo. You're driving a car you're not meant to, regardless of engine. Removing the turbo doesn't make it P plate friendly.

As for your problem, I'd start by sourcing a non-turbo ecu for it.

Cowboy1600, i dont know what you mean, not p plate friendly. Its a gtst... Yes... Which now has a completely different motor in it, rb25de neo from an r34 making it n/a. Which means by law it is 'p plate friendly'. In regards to dtc 54 i dont understand why its throwing that unless it also has had a manual conversion that im unknown of and they havent changed the ecu there either.

Welcome to SAU Blake!

Technically the guys are right about driving a GTST minus the T. Keep your head down, don't be too silly & you should be right (unless you get a copper who know how to read a compliance plate).

Running a GTST ECU on a NEO N/A is not the best idea.

What were the plugs like when you pulled them out?

There could be a few things going on here. Yes the ECU could be at fault. You could also have an intake leak somewhere or even an exhaust leak before the O2 sensor causing it to fuel up a bit, but seeings as its thrown a code for the O2 sensor, I'd start there & double check everything else to be safe.

Researching the part # on the ECU would be a good thing too.

update to this. Replaced the o2 sensor today, seems to be running not as rich. looked up the ecu last night, found out it has correct ecu for engine. I am now chasing a vacuum leak in the engine which i will sort when i clean the aic this weekend :D

Edited by Bwillie

seems like gapping spark plugs to 0.8mm, setting the idle properly, checking the timing, set to 30 degrees (woohoo) and running 98 octane shell v power is making it run much smoother and MORE POWER! Cleaned aic etc, didnt seem to be that dirty compared to others ive seen!

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
