Hi all,

Having alot of trouble getting our RB25det r32 running properly. The car originally had a big laggy chinese turbo on it, so we pulled engine and tidied everything up and reverted to the factory rb25 turbo unit.

After reinstalling the engine we have the following issue:

- With afm plugged in, we can get the car started and then will die 10 seconds later. Can't rev it without is bogging down and dying.

- With afm unplugged, the car starts and idles fine. As soon as we try to rev it, it also bogs down and dies. As soon as the afm is plugged in again it bogs down and dies.

- Car isn't blowing any smoke

- Have kept an eye on the FPR gauge and it is jumping between 40-60psi

Have gone through many threads and can't seem to find anyone with similar problems. We have tested another AFM, checked for vacuum leaks and intercooler piping leaks.

 

Am thinking it could be the following things:

- Faulty fuel pump

- We bought a second faulty AFM

- Something to do with TPS and throttle body because as soon as that is altered car dies?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers,

For it to run with a Big Laggy Chinese turbo on it, it would need an ECU to control it and Injectors to supply a larger volume of fuel.

What ECU / Tune and Injectors are you running on it now, or have you just changed the turbo back to standard?

Yeah thats why we decided to revert everything back to standard to run on the stock ecu. So its now running stock exhaust manifold, turbo, throttle body, injectors and ecu. Very confused as to why it won't rev at all.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah that's what we are looking at now. Was running the original S1 green sticker AFM with the big turbo (didn't run the best). Thinking the wiring could have been damaged when we pulled the engine, however still recognizes when the AFM is plugged back in as it dies straight away so am hesitant to put it down to damaged wires. Will get the multimeter out tonight and run some tests

How many pounds of boost was it runnning with the stock green label because those run out pretty quick it sounds like it something to do with the afm.  Thats how mine acted when i was fitting a z32 maf to it. also what series ecu are you running?

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
