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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
