Car stalling while driving with new turbo

hi all, 

i just replaced my turbo on my gtt from factory turbo to Garrett gt 30/76 internals on my factory housing. 

when i drive at a rpm over 3k and put it in neutral the revs will go all the way down till the engine stops.

does anyone have any idea why this could be ? 

thank you  

factory pipe work.. could be leak somewhere..

Are you running any wanky BOV? or is everything stock except the turbo?

Also it might be overboosting because the turbo has a larger actuator on it.. not ECU related.

It's a factory bov but it is blocked of to re-curc and I have a front mount intercooler other than that its stock

there's your problem :)

The pressure is also going through the air flow meter backwards. The ecu sees this as additional air flow and injects more fuel. On some cars with air flow meters this causes stalling problems on others just rich running, unless the ecu has been tuned for it. Try unblocking and see what happens. Im sure dosepipe will correct me if im wrong :banana:

Also i might add, 

the reason i changed the turbo is because the factory one shit itself but when it went out there was a bit of oil around the intake hoses, so i was wondering if some of that oil would have gotten on the AFM. 

should i remove it and clean it with contact cleaner? @admS15 @Dose Pipe Sutututu

ok so i there is nothing the bov is doing to the stalling, 

but we did rasie the idle a tad so the car has stopped stalling and also must of fixed the over boosting problem. 

a new ECU is defs on my list but money wise it is not going to happen very soon. 

and whats a nistune board? easy install and pricey? @GTSBoy

    • 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.
