Don't know that turbo but an aftermarket turbo with stock ecu is :/
How long have you had it for? @ what boost and for how long? Compression test?
I know stock rb20 ECUs don't handle high boost well and could lead to destroying an engine. I learnt what pinging sounds like with a boost t in an r32 gtst 10 years ago


Issues from cars with conversion done are really hard to diagnose online because so many things are customised
Ie it could be an injector plug that was not soldered/ joined properly or a bit loose since you used rb25 loom which has side feed plugs and rb20 uses top feeds hence different plugs. Or many other things
Definitely more info needed

I thought sr20 from s14 would be a better engine in the s14 than an rb20 but anyway

edit: read again realised you said havent ran correctly since conversion. check wiring and timing i'd say

    • I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.
    • Remember this is the same person who said he’d never own an nc 
    • ouch! how is the car now?I had sold my gtr but have been looking into some on trademe and a 260RS but I wouldnt be keen on any repairs needed on them
    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
