hey guys, i'm having some huge problems with my car and i'd appreciate it if someone could help me with a diagnosis.

These problems generally appear after i drive the car quite hard. Its a 93 R32 gts-t with a Ceffy rb20 in it. Minimal mods, VG30/RB25 turbo, FMIC, SSQV, Zorst, BB Clutch, Stock boost.

1. Idle - Revs drop to about 100-200 on idle, spike back up to bout 1500, then drop again. It does this over and over again on idle. AFM's been cleaned, idle control adjusted, fuel pump changed. Idle control helped a bit but the problem resurfaced again. When approaching the lights, drop it into neutral - revs drop, car stalls.

2. After driving it hard, sometimes acceleator elicits no response. Pressing it down, no revs, nothing. Silence. Then the other night, at the lights ready to take off, put her in 1st, press acc and the revs dropped. they didn't pick up, just kept dropping everytime i pushed the accelerator til she stalled, then wouldn't start up again. Had to roll her down a hill, wait 5 mintues, then she started up again.

Now, i've changed most things on the car as stated above, but the problem still sits. Is it possible that a very worn out turbo can cause all of this? My current turbo (VG30) is about to die and is spitting alot of oil into the pipes.

Can oil from the pipes seep into the engine and cause much damage? If so, what sort of damage?

Sorry to drain it but this problem doesn't seem to be going away. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. The car is a bitch to drive atm - keeps stalling on me.

Thanks again.

modr33s2 - thanks for the reply. the turbo is quite tired so it could be very possible that that has happened - however i'm not going to find out until i take the head apart eh? Damn....more work....

Waz - i replaced the fuel pump to a warlboro item and it seems to not be that. WHen i opened the fuel tank, i found my fuel baffle floating around -wtf?

the person i bought the car off is one dodgy muta f*cka. some ppl here know who he is, but i don't wanna name names.

thanks for your help guys..

I'm considering doing the rb25 conversion (new engine, no hassles) - anyone know where i can get a good reliable half cut? I've checked upimports and just jap, could any of you guys point me to a few other places?

thanks again

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
