Weird RB25DET engine issue

Hey all, hoping for some advice on what’s going on with my GTST. I recently noticed that I was leaking antifreeze from a small hose behind the motor. So I had replaced the hose and filled the antifreeze back up but now for some reason when I’m driving the car I can feel the engine kinda breaking up around 4K rpms. I also feel the cars rpms fluctuating while I’m just cruising on the highway. I thought it might’ve been because I had the a/c running but I shut it off and it still does it. Can anyone give me some technical help with what’s going on?

Hmm. If it was S1, I would have suggested that you might have upset the coil igniter by working at that end of the engine.

As is it, I would suggest that you might have upset the coil loom. You might have tired old wiring connectors that got moved. Not particularly likely though.

I have new spark plugs, splitfire coil packs, and a new coil pack loom

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
