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.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
