hey there, have just got my s2 rb25det r32 running..
its pretty much standard apart from fmic, splitfire coilpaks, alloy rad, 3inch striaght pipe exhaust etc.
it idles perfectly... but when driving it splatters/coughs doesnt boost etc. you can drive without hitting turbo but with foot flat down or like 30% throttle plus it missfires splatters and all that like crazy making backfire noises and such. does it in every gear aswell. it idles perfect never dies when coming to a stop or anything. i recently changed rad, thermostat, exhaust pipe recently. all lines im pretty sure are plumbed in correctly. one thing i did do was move the cas when i took the timing cover off. could that be it? but yea it idles perfectly its just when trying to drive or accelerate at 2500revs plus the problems start. it revs fine when not in gear too.. another note the conversion was only just recently done maybe a couple months ago but was first driven today since installed. i only just started it yesterday. will try to play around with a few things tomorrow but yea im no mechanic so help would be good.. thanks for reading and any help will be much appreciated

Check for boost leaks.

Search how to pressure test.

What ecu?

It isn't likely to be caused by moving the cas, but you have to set the timing with a timing light.

Yea get a timing light and check timing due to you have moved cas and check AFM, get done contact cleaner and spray it inside AFM cleaning all the crap off, let it sit for abit allowing contact cleaner to fully dry up and re-install it and away u go, had that issue with my S1 25det r33

thankyou for the replies guys, yea have been told its mostlikely the afm so will clean as it as said above and go from there. ^ and then i will try sort the timing out. once again appreciate the help!!

I take it that it was the AFM as this was last reply on thread?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
