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 was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
