So i have been doing a build putting a rb25det from my written off r33gtst into my e36 BMW. It all starts and runs well apart from stalling when i give it a rev over 2000rpm. The motor is mostly stock. Aftermarket turbo, FFP and that is about it running stock ecu. The AAC has be cleaned idle set to 900rpm, im just abit lost on what would cause this to happen as there was no issues when it was in my 33, i hoped someone could give me some ideas to what could be causing this.

Thanks.

You should be getting between 35to maybe 40 pounds of pressure on the fuel rail, and as for voltage any sensor that's going to tell the engine to shut down make sure it has adequate voltage ie coils injectors knock sensors things of the such 

1. Check fuel pressure at the rail is 43-45 psi without vacuum connected on reg(block the hose off so no vac leak)
2. AFM is clean & plugged in and is around the same distance as factory away from turbo.|
3. Coils are getting 12V and grounded correctly.
4. Alternator is generating greater than 12.8V at idle
5. Fuel pump is wired and gets 12v & a good ground


Will most likely be one of these but also depends on how the loom has been wired into the bmw

thanks, i still need some parts to set up the fuel reg but will check asap. thanks for the psi stats.

will go though and check all the volts on all those parts.  I am confident that they are getting what they need, but will go over it over the next week. I am leaning towards the AFM problems so i am trying to get one i know works ans see if that changes anything. will update once i have done that.

thanks again for the info and ideas every one.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
