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?

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
