Hi guys my 25'd 32 is up and running now

I have a few things to tidy up with the wiring

1. The Aircon Simon did the wiring for me and his aircon works, well it just works so Im guessing not as well as it use to

with mine nothing happens it seems like the aircon fans not switching on and theres no drop in

idle so I dont think the compressors turning on either.

Ive heard (not in detail) that 33's run a extra temp sensor, can someone confirm in detail how this is done and if it works.

Im kinda bummed because I went to the trouble of reusing the rb20 air con compressor and keeping all the lines connected so I wouldnt have to get it regassed

that and its 40 degress outside.

2. The car doesnt seem to like to cold start at all, I have to pump the throttle to get it to fire up and then to get it to "clear" its throat

my car currently has a rb20 o2 sensor fitted and a s14 purple plug unit thing (near the inlet plenum) sorry not sure what it is but my 25 one was stuffed

Im not sure if these would affect cold start or if there's some wiring that needs to be done

sorry to post it in this section but I think this is the best place to get a responce

Thanks :P

An O2 sensor is an O2 sensor. They all work the same way (basically). It shouldn't matter if it's for a RB20 or a RB25.

As for your starting problems, check the cold start air valve, under the inlet plenum.

The A/C problem was covered about 2 weeks ago. Have a search.

you are :( there's no difference. mine ran with an rb20 one up until recently when i decided it was getting old and swapped it for a generic one

Which fan are you talking about? the secondary one on the front or the internal one? If its the internal one you have issues as that should work regardless of whether the engine loom is installed or not.

re the ac wiring. if the idle isn't stepping up then the ecu doesn't know the ac is being switched on. It will step up regardless of whether the second solenoid on the IACV is connected or not. If the compressor isn't switching on it's because the ecu isn't telling it to switch on (1) because it doesn't know it's supposed to, and maybe (2) because it hasn't been connected into the body loom up near the air box. The secondary fan is also tied up to this so will work once it gets the signal.

re the start up issues. check your earths, check the auxiliary air valve has power (though that won't make a heap of difference to start up, just cold return to idle stalling could be a problem) check that the water temp sensor is connected and working properly (im guessing thats the s14 one that you plugged in. bin it and get the right one)

^ internal one

cant get the fan no aircon to come on either

so I dont need to add another temp sensor somewhere

just had a quick search to couldn't find anything with the info I wanted

this is the part Im talking about

(note this is my part refitted to the s14 engine I borrowed the s14 part from

as you can see the plugs stuffed)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
