R33 SII 96 Turbo Manual.

THe problem is that when the car is idling, it will start to rev down to 500-700rpm and recover, and then start over again and so on. It stops after a few secs but starts over again.

What could be the cause?

have u tried factory ecu reset?

no bov will make it surge on gearchange and reduce the life of the turbocharger

not quite sure what factory ecu reset, but have disconnected the battery and pressed on brake pedal for 2 mins, people say that helps but didnt do much for me... it also comes and goes, sometimes it's ok, sometimes just stalls when slowing down to the traffic lights or when parking...

hey guys, just thought let you know, i went down to get my car checked out by some professionals this morning... the guy connected the computer to my car and a few minutes later he told me that my car was running rich and my O2 sensor was stuffed. getting it done on wednesday morning - $250 :P the guy told me that the probability that this is the problem is very high, so i am hoping this will fix it... will keep you updated...

Thanks for the info guys. I've been searching around and seems to be the AFM. One other thing i should say is if i open the oil cap while the car is idling, the idle drops quite a bit and the car sounds like its going to stall? Vacuum problem maybe?

hey all, i am happy to say that the problem has been fixed, my car is running very smooth now, very happy with it. the O2 sensor has been replaced for $250 - and it's definitely worth it. if you are in qld gold coast see tony from adrenalin imports 5591 2444

:D

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
