posting on behalf of a friends r33 which has serious problem

mods

rb25det series 1

splitfire coilpacks

cooler

exhaust

10psi

stock ecu

items we have tried and replaced with items off my car.

afm

3 different fuel pumps, now running stock rb25 fuel pump

coil pack igniter

cas

fuel regulator

basically im gonna try best describe what the car does.

sometimes the car will drive fine for half a day or all day then all of a sudden the car will start surging just while driving along at 60kmph or 100kmph

this is when the fun begins, once the car starts surging it will basically just cut the ignition and u have to put ur foot flat to the floor to keep the engine going, thing is the car doesnt rev or go anywhere with it flat

to the floor, u can hear the turbo spooling and the bov goes off a bit but the motor isnt reving or accelerating and thats flat to the floor for about 20-30secs, and if u take ur foot off the accelerator the car will die

and u have to roll over side of the road and kick it over 3-4 times before it will go again.

the fella has a powerfc there aswell that he has tried plugging in and using on base map but it does the exact same thing.

does anyone have any ideas? we r out of ideas.

have tried replacing the above items but nothing has fixed it.

well the car u have to hold the accelerator flat to the floor to keep the motor from stalling and u can hear the turbo spooling still but the car doesnt accelerate or go anywhere like uve got it in neutral, and if you just let your foot of the accelrator the car will die and wont start again until u pull over and kick it over 3-4 times.

So you've checked all the cooler piping and joins?

When my pipes partially blew off it wouldn't rev past 4grand, wouldn't make full boost obviously but was still spooling, it was just a massive air leak that would only open up under pressure. Off boost it drove fine. Made the car run pretty crap though under boost.

....ummmm blocked cat maybe?

If the car is lowered remove the front right wheel, then the guard cover, and check to see if the loom as been damaged by the wheel itself. I have seen lowered cars rub through the looms and create massive shorts and problems. One even caught fire and the loom had to be replaced.

Is it more likely to happen in the wet, hot days, after X amount of driving, on rough roads, etc.

Also make sure you carefully check all the wiring, especially in the engine bay.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
