Hey guys, 

This is my first turbo car and my first time using a wideband... as you can see from the video attached these are readings i am getting at idle and when lightly applying throttle in neutral.

Can anyone tell me if these numbers are good or bad or if anything is wrong? At one point closer to end it kinda turns off for a second and goes to zero... is that normal?
 

It is a turbo rb25 neo with a Greddy FFP, Gt3071r, stock 370cc injectors, and a walbro 255 fuel pump with a stock fuel pressure regualtor. 
 

thanks,

Your idle is probably ok, just make sure your AFR target is correct. You want to idle at stoichiometric AFR to keep the catalytic converter functional. If the wideband is further back in the exhaust it's likely getting some fresh air on it which causes false lean.

Also revving like that at low load in neutral means you are not building any boost. You should not be dropping down to 11:1 AFR like that. Back up your current map and duplicate it, then zero out your transient fuel tables and see if the same issue occurs. If it goes away then the problem is your transient fuel settings, if it remains it's your main fueling table in near zero load situations. Or take a data log on your current map and see how much transient fueling the ECU is adding/removing.

When you revved up high and then released the throttle at the end the behavior of the wideband was normal. That was the DFCO kicking in for a little bit and fuel injection cutting out briefly. Disable DFCO in the engine map and see if the same behavior occurs again, it probably won't.

I have a stock r34 GTT NEO ecu and the senor is installed about 35 inches away from the exhaust turbine. My exhaust is almost straight piped i only have a single resonator... no muffler and no cat.

If you have a competent tuner this should be fixed pretty easily.

If you intend to drive this car on the street after you get the tune to a good state where you're pretty confident it won't nuke catalytic converters I would put the catalytic converter back in. Exhaust contains a non-trivial amount of carbon monoxide, if you have any kind of exhaust leak under the car it's going to seep into the cabin whenever you stop at traffic lights.

    • 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.
