Guys....hope you might give me a clear point of view here....

decided to replace my current GTR front mount intercooler to stock side mount intercooler....this is due to a lag and bad throttle response for my RB20DET with standard turbine...to sucks for city driving but ok for highway @ "wangan" driving...

my spec :

GTR Intercooler

Stock RB20DET internals

Stock RB20DET turbine

Walbro Fuel Pump (without Fuel Regulator but will install soon)

40mm wastegate

3" straight piping with Megaphone Mufflers

Proof Sheepdog blowoff valve

set the boost at 0.5 bar (previously at 0.8 bar but as the rpm reached 6.5k rpm suddenly boost preasure gone!!!...)

what i am facing now is

i have to rev high if wanna built power for overtaking cars or changing to lower gear...i heard that is normal for RB20DET to rev high to generate power....in 4th or 5th gear if i floor the throttle on the spot the rev wont get higher than 4k rpm and feel like fuel cut symptom (not enough fuel to the engine)....but if i floor it slowly no problem but i have to maintain boot at 0.1 bar...

guys pls help me....

cause that i belived....

1. could be Air Flow Sensor prob

2. could be some leak

3. could be no fuel regulator

4. could be incorrect TPS adjustment (because when idle i just press the throttle a bit and then the rpm drop slightly and when a press a bit more then the rpm raises)

5.could be of GTR intercooler

Bigger intercooler shouldnt make too much of a difference, depending on how long your return pipes are.

Adjust your actuator for boost to kick in lower maybe?

If you go back to SMIC, use an R34 intercooler...it fits with some adjusting and have heard it gives better response.

cooler won't make a difference i don't think.

Check your AFM for starters, make sure it's working. Either find another to use, or rip yours off and get it tested out.

if it's working, fit the FPR. if that does NOTHING, welll... you had to fit it either way. so, win win.

process of elimination - check your plugs too. specifically check them for detonation.

have you tuned or had it tuned since the fitment of the new fuel pump?

Unlikely to be AFM, unless you've got a pod filter that needs oil, over time that builds up on the AFM.

Plugs are also unlikely to affect power shift in RPM range, since there is no distributor, but check the grounds on the ingition loom and pack.

Check your running voltages too. I replaced my battery and leads, and reseated all the grounding wires I could find in the engine bay, and noticed a decent increase in response and it was more consistent thanks to higher voltages.

Also have a look at the intake pipes for any leaks, and make sure theyre clean.

Check for slack in the throttle cable, and check the idle control and main throttle body.

well thanks a lot guys for your advice and guide...

after reading all the feedback from you guys...maybe i will start by installing a regulator first..then if the problem still occur might plan to change the open pod filter to new one..cause maybe its to dirty that cause air restriction into the AFM....third maybe will replace all the wiring loom cause when inspected at the w/shop the previous owner just mix it between A31 and R32 (d**m) that can give a big impact to...

will update the progression soon....

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
