Hey, I have a rb20 w/r33 turbo swapped r31, the car runs, and idles fine with no issues, however whenever its revved to above 4-5k+ rpm when you let off the throttle it goes down to 0 rpm and stops running, it doesnt sputter or make and unusual noises just falls and doesnt recover. If you blip the throttle to catch it when falling its fine and goes back to idling normally. Wondering if anyone can help me out here, I really don't know what I'd be looking for on this. After fiddling with the AAC valve it seemed to fix but when I tried it again a few hours later still was doing it. Perhaps the AAC adjustments didnt do anything and instead once its warm its fine (yet to test this).

Any help appreciated.

Broooo have exact same issue. Did you solved it? Please answer 

You've given zero info about your setup.

Step 1: make sure all the standard equipment are working as they should. If they're not, go investigate why.

Step 2: Make sure all your wiring is done properly. Know which RB20 you have, most likely "silvertop" a.k.a R32/A31 anything after 1989.

Step 3: make sure your ECU is tuned properly. Standard will barely run in this situation.

Sorry for late answer but here’s my spec:

Series 1 1994 r33 gts25t AT converted to MT using r32 rb20det gearbox.

Custom self made clutch pedal

os giken twin plate clutch

two pins connected to let engine start

speedsensor from AT connected to wire harness but didn’t fit to gearbox So it’s somewhere inside in the car so I can add km to tachometer after I measure distance with gps. Don’t want to pay 150€ for sensor if I probably will change gearbox with adapter to bmw one. Car barely runs and winter is coming so no point right now 

engine after rebuild

Stock automatic ecu and at tachometer

Aftermarket oil cooler with separate sensor so oem oil pressure is unplugged 

koyo 53mil radiator 

Mods which may cause the issue:

600x300x76 front mount intercooler

Cone air filter blitz

Removed recirculating valve

Slighty bigger maxspeedingrods turbo

adjustable manual boost controller (didn’t set it but last time I checked on aftermarket gauge it was 0.4bar, asaik oem is different unit 7(unit) don’t want to rev it too high bcs it made max 70km after rebuild

Fuel pressure regulator set to idk 30-32psi at iddle

dw300 fuel pump

stock injectors

check valve right in front of fuel rail

i thinking sth wrong with afr it getting too much fuel and too less air or it needs that recirc valve?

on warm engine it took 5-10 seconds to start it. After I put way bigger battery, battery terminals and new ecu coolant temp sensor problem is gone

my old turbo spill 150ml oil into intake so cleaned it. 
 

I checked for error codes and it given me 55 - all good. I bought consult so will plug in soon to check if it give me better feedback. Also I will install oem recirc valve tomorrow. Small hose going to manifold but where should go 30mm pipe from this valve? I’m front of turbo inlet, after maf/ right after turbo outlet / or it doesn’t matter?

actaully can install it in these two spots (blue circles)

here’s link to photos bcs can’t add it here

blue spots - I can install recirc valve hose there and in general everything air intake related so you can spot of anything wrong here

Stock ECU with no recirc valve is a bad, bad combination. Hot wire MAFs cannot deal with reversion, even if you don't vent to atmosphere it will shoot back out when the throttle snaps closed all the way out the compressor inlet and MAF before getting sucked back into the engine. It double-counts the air, the engine runs way too lean and stumbles if it doesn't die outright.

Thank you. Can you please check where should I add hose in intake pipes? From recirc valve back to intake? I upload photos on imgur.

    • Welcome to the site. Any more pics? That colour is gorgeous.
    • I didn't even know that existed!!! Amazing, good work Andy at Haltech! A bit off topic here, but I actually met Andy at a Aus Lancer car meet at the old Shell Space Station in Ryde back in 2003 or so. He brought out this aluminium case and showed everyone this basic circuit and said he was making an ECU that was capable of using closed loop to self tune. Most of the people there dismissed his idea.
    • I actually was using 4D tables with my old AEM WMI system. I'm now using "Water Injection Advanced" under engine functions to control my WMI. The timing and fuel corrections are easier to use as they have WMI in mind. Example, my fuel correction is based on my WMI solenoid duty cycle, they also included built in timers to delay corrections before and after spraying, timers to ramp up pulse width, etc.   
    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas
