Hey..

I have had this porblem with my car ever since i bought it....was blind to it even having a porblem untill i got into a mates r33 skyline... but anyway.. i own an 1990 s13 with a series 2 rb25 in it..... i know now that it lacks alot of power for what it is.... an im sick of it... i have been in friends cars with the exact same mods an they are unbelivably faster than what my car is....

i have put a bigger fuel pump in it since i bought it because it was still running a non turb'd ca18 pump when i got it.... made some difference.. i fixed several boost leaks... broken exhaust studs.... coilpacks.. sparkplugs.....i have checked everythin i know of.. an i have spent hours on the net looking for solutions...

the easiest way to explain what it does...

you can take off an it will hit boost an u can here it spool but it just wont move untill like 4500...5000 rpm.. if not later....its very rough.. there is no smooth build up to boost or anything... it just makes alot off spool. an then at the last bit of revs left in the gauge it takes off an then u have to change...

please any info would be greatly appreciated...

thanks

every morning when i start it cold... it wont idle that first time unless u give it a rev....then its perfectly fine for the rest of the day..... its not the afm.. becuase when its running... if u unplug it it dies... plug it back in an its fine...

thanks for the reply....

so i was fiddling around today... an decided i would move what i think is the cam angle sensor?? the sensor up top which is bolted to front of motor with three bolts... i loosened them off an moved it around an it actually made it run abit better... any ideas. also is there a crnak angle sensor and a cam angle sensor on a series 2 rb25det?

thanks

that sensor that you played around with is the crank angle sensor turning it clockwise advances the gears and anticlockwise it retards it,its just made to adjust the idle

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
