Rb25Det Not Boosting Well

Hi guys, i have a r32 with a rb25det neo in it from a rs4 Stagea. Car was originally auto but is now manual converted.

the problem i have is, it will boost up to around 8 psi and the gate opens. But it doesn't really feel like its boosting. Its also a bit hesitant.

It has a master power t04e, front mount, all the basic mods. Ive only recently got it and have just began tidying it up. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been tuned for the t04e so that could be the problem. But the thing is when it hits boost it almost feels like its letting all the boost out, sort of like a exhaust leak.

Im just learning things atm and trying not to use the turbo in the mean time.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help guys

You can't try to boost up a Neo ECU past about 11 psi on a STANDARD turbo without causing it to clip the air-flow meter, hit the boost limit (there is a boost sensor connected to the crossover pipe) and various other shits and giggles.

If you try to boost it up on a BIG turbo, then expect the shits and giggles to start happening at lower boost. 8 psi would be about right.

The thing will make boost, but the ECU will overfuel and cut timing so badly that it will be slow slow slow. Push it further and they will actuall give you a very nasty hard cut.

If you keep driving it like this you will damage it. You have to either piss that shitful turbo off or do something about the ECU (and the AFM and the injectors and probably the fuel pump).

Ok sweet as man, theres not much that can be done with a neo ecu aye. would my best option just be to put a standard 25det turbo on it? I don't want to make big power, i'd prefer it to be reliable and standard.

Yes, there is something you can do about the Neo's ECU. It is actually far better than an R33 ECU in that regard. You can get it Nistuned (which is a tunable daughterboard which gets installed inside the ECU) for, well, about $600 I guess. If it then needs to be tuned you pay for dyno tuning too.

You'd actually be well advised NOT to put a std 25 turbo on there. They are all getting a bit old. They are ceramic. They can and will die at random.

I suggest that you do some searching on here amongst the millions and millions of posts about what a good turbo option would be for you. I'm not going to type it all out again.

Cool, cheers for the help man, i appreciate it. I'll look into the Nistune daughterboard as it sounds like the best option for me. I also noticed there was a hole in the hose that comes of the j pipe. Would you know what that part is called as i need a replacement one.

If you're in Sydney and want a road tune for your basic mods for your Nistune I have both software, hardware and a portable wideband.

Cheers bro i live in New zealand though, i'm pretty keen on getting a Nistune

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
