Freshly rebuilt rb26 with power issues, sometimes it's a animal next Time I put my foot down the car runs like there is a boost leak, turbo is labouring but no power, car is doey and pops a lot when it goes into nugget mode, Ive changed tps, cams, fuel system, turbo, intercooler, computer, exhaust manifold, exhaust system, radiator, engine, cam gears. I've noticed sometime the car is turned on blows some smoke not sure why. Any help would be appeciated as I have 500kw gtr that can run properly for one year

Thanks guys,

List of mods:

Forged 26

Kelford 272 cams / 8.95 lift

Single precision turbo 6466

6 boost manifold

Twin tial 38mm wastegates

Haltech ecu

zeitronix wideband controller

zeitronix fuel flex e85

Fuel reg

Plazmaman fuel rail

2000cc injectors

Radium Surge tank / 3 fuel pumps

Split fire coil packs

Tomei cam gears

Standard plenum

Standard throttle body

3.5inch turbo back exhaust with no cat / no restrictions

Tomei high flow oil pump

New water pump

Extended sump

New koyo alloy radiator

100mm Plazmaman intercooler

Custom cooler piping with v band clamps on end tanks

A bit more info, I had this problem before I rebuilt the car, the car is also hard to start sometimes take a couple try's. Car is also draining electricity from somewhere the battery dies after a couple weeks.

I checked for boost leaks, initially thought it was the turbo so we changed that, then we thought it was the cams so changed that. Happy to take this car somewhere, it was built by Powertune aus they can't find the problem after 9 months with the car it's just a guessing game.

Thanks guys

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
