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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
