I've got a malpassi rising rate fuel reg in my rb20det powered s13. I had it set at about 40psi and i removed the vacuum line on my stock fuel regulator. I went from getting 350klms out of a tank to about 500klms. Off boost was more responsive and i was pretty happy with it. However i kinda think it's too good to be true so im a little worried i may be running too lean. I only have minor mods: rb25 turbo, stock boost (8psi), pod and the fuel reg. Im getting an exhaust tomorrow finally!

the injectors were recently flow tested and cleaned and are spot on. Do you think i should drop the pressure back down to 40psi, or what would be your opinion?

thanks

Did you set the reg at idle with the vacuum line disconnected to 40 psi? If you set it to 40 with the vac line connected you dont need that much pressure. My reg was set on the dyno at full throttle and load to 90psi to squeeze 229.2 kws at wheels with standard injectors. The pressure at idle it 40psi with the hose connected. For standard boost 65 psi at 10psi boost will be heaps.

Hi mase. standard RB20DET fuel pressure is 36 to 38 psi at idle with the vacuum hose disconnected. So 40 psi is a little above standard, car should be running slightly richer and using more fuel. I smell a rat, I would do a power run on the dyno, watch the boost pressure and in particular the A/F ratios. One power run up through the rev range, take about 20 minutes including on and off the roller time.

Hope that helps

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
