Fitted a new highflow rb25 hypergear turbo over the weekend with ease. With my mates lift and his help we got it done in bout five hours. Along with a new tomei 3” downpipe. My question is how many miles do y’all typically put on your new turbos before you start doing pulls in them. So far just baby driving to and from work I’ve got about 75 miles on it. I’ve scheduled a dyno tune next Friday for official HP numbers. 

^^^what he said...you need the tune before you can start thrashing it...or even driving it really. Have you got bigger injectors, fuel pump, and an aftermarket ecu or  nistune chip?

I have a walbro 255 in it and a Nistune chip. I had it tuned back in October on the stock rb20 turbo and we found the stock fuel pump was very weak so few weeks ago I replaced it with the walbro and then this last Sunday threw the new turbo in.

Baby it around, get it to barely come onto boost. 

Check for leaks, fill it up and drive to your tuner.

Send It!

Basically what I have been doing. Saw 2-3psi max. Seen a tad bit of coolant in the garage floor but not totally sure if it’s residual from the swap or a tiny leak at the banjo

what else have you done ie exhuast, injectors etc etc?

 

It has full 3” exhaust from turbo back. Has a FMIC. Splitfire coilpacks. Walbro 255 fuel pump.a Nistune chip.  And a turbosmart manual boost controller.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
