Just had a rb25 turbo installed on my r32 and having a bit of a problem :P when i come on to boost it will go to around 3 PSI then it will f**k up. By that i mean it is seriously missing, then it will stop and start boosting up to 12psi and be fine. It only seems to this if i accelerate hard or drop a gear. Any ideas would be great thanks.

BTW. I am running the turbotech boost controller

Are you actually experiencing turbo lag? I would have thought that an RB25 turbo will need more exhaust gas to spool up the turbo nicely. After all, that's why Nissan's engineer put RB20 turbo in R32 and RB25 turbo in R33. Looks like ur ECU starts to get confused with the "alien" turbo that doesn't behave as it's suppose to be. Do you have aftermarket air/fuel controller e.g. SAFC or even a piggy back Greddy E-Trust/HKS F-CON or a full replacement computer PowerFC? The cheapest alternative is to get ur stock R32 ECU re-mapped. DR_DRIFT here on this forum can do that, and there's a few other mechanics out there who specialises in re-programming R32 ECU chip.

i ran around with my RB25 turbo on the stock computer for about a month, and didn't have a drama with it getting 'confused', rs73....

These are the things i would check:

Are you hitting the factory boost cut? I never ran more than 9psi when i had the '25 turbo, before i got it tuned (and boost cut removed) so i'm not sure if it would be hitting that or not...

Plugs - Are they the right gap? Are they fouled? Worn out?

Fuel Pump - Is it supplying enough fuel?

Coilpacks - Are they stuffed?

Vacuum Lines/Cooler Pipes - You haven't left a line/pipe off somewhere have you?

    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
