hey everyone, looking for some help for a mate of mine

car is a series 2 s14 we have just put an rb25 into..problem is the limiter sounds strange, i mean real strange... almost completely flat like a diesel limiter and when held on limiter the car bogs down rly hard and starts to drops rpm....kk dont give me advice on how its a normal limiter and im retarded coz its not!...lol

things that have been to try and solve problem : ECU changed, sparks plugs changed, ign timing checked with light...

engine has had timing belt changed before he bought it, does this sound as though its a tooth out? even though car runs fine and pulls hard for standard turbo....

it is pretty standard with just a turbo back exhaust and front mount and boost t....and splitfires

any help is appreciated.

Keep bashing that limiter and you will need to start your expensive conversion all over. The oil pumps in RBs are very weak and make the motor almost suicidal from stock. The reason why is because of the way it is driven off the crank, hitting the limiter will smash the pump to bits and have you nuke your whole motor in seconds not knowing you have no oil flow.

If you did this conversion for a limiter loving drift or burnout pig you really picked the wrong motor. Lucky you this website is filled with an abundance of references to just how bad a choice it was. Just search 'oil pump fail'.

As for the question, sounds like every other stock ecu RB ive smashed limiters with, in fact id be pretty confident I could find a video of my ex diesel limiter RB25.

different from what? it seems to be the 26's that die before anything else.

rb's not as weak as people make them out to be.

certain parts are (like the pump, as OP just updated with lol)

Otherwise from what I've gathered, some people CAN'T break them while others do without trying....piece of string etc

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
