So ive been having an issue with my rb25 rev limiter and i cant seem to figure out what the problem is exactly. pretty much the car will pull amazing up until redline but it will not bounce off the limiter, instead it sounds like some sort of soft cut but it will bog the car down until i let off the throttle. i can get the car to hit the limiter when doing a standstill burnout in first gear or sometimes while doing a pull in first gear but it will not bounce off the limiter in any other condition. if i get back onto the throttle it will pull up until redline again and do the same thing over again. ive replaced the fuel pump (walbro 255), fpr, fuel filter, spark plugs (gapped to .8mm), and ive checked the coil packs and they dont have any cracks at all, ive also replaced the ecu, maf, and coil pack harness with known good ones and it had no affect. this issue has been happening since i completed the swap in january but randomly went away and it was bouncing off the limiter for about a month or so but then it started happening again after a day of drifting. also the wiring was done by an extremely reputable shop so its unlikely for it to be a wiring problem but who knows. someone plz help. this is my drift car i beat the shit out of it, thats what i put it together to do so please dont lecture me on engine abuse. i also do not have a wide band AFR installed (stupid i know)

Also the engine is out of 1996 r33 so its a series 2, it has an e60 maf and a G8 ECU

I'll do a pressure test but I doubt there's a leak. It will hold full boost In any gear at WOT all the way up to redline with no problem, it does not cut out or hesitate or do anything funky. It idles perfectly and doesn't missfire at all. It just will not bounce off the limiter. It's the strangest thing

Holding full boost and idling fine does not rule out a boost leak at all.

No i totally agree with you. I'm just saying it seems slightly unlikely to me. But i'm willing to try anything at this point

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
