Hey guys, well i rebuilt an rb25det s2 as my school project, and chucked it in a 180sx, here are the mods we done:

-forged pistons

-rb26 conrods

-greddy front facing manifold

-90mm throttle body

-tomei valve springs

-still using stock turbo/cams/ecu

and ever since me and my brother got it started it would boost up under no load, u just sit their and rev it, and can see the boost climbing and climbing until it gets to about 10-12 where we set the boost controller, so what could cause this? running really rich under no load? timing is out?

any other ideas would be really helpful as we havnt been able to drive it for a few months now as we both been busy and have no clue wat the problem is

so u reckon iv'e put the cams in wrong, like retarded a few teeth? so the exhaust cam is opening alot sooner, which is causing the loss in power and boosting up? il check it out!

yeah i dont start it very often and now i found a bigger problem, it seems like oil hasnt been getting to one of the exhaust cam caps and the cam cap and the camshaft itself has been grinding alot.....its very very worn away, will probably need a new cam now...bugger

    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
