Hey everybody just completed my rb25 box conversion in my rb25ed 32 4 door. Now my problem is at 5500rpm in fifth it feels like i hit a wall. It will not go any where past 5500, And im pretty sure its only WOT that it does it. Someone suggested speed limiter. Sounds logical BUT i dont have the cable hooked up ? The reason it doesnt make sense is it will bounce the limiter in the third but 4th hits the wall at around 7000 and 5th hits at 5500. I dont think its fuel as it has a good bosh 040 pump and here it whizzing and all other gears are fine. Now this problem has only just happened after the box. Therefore thats why im thinking maybe some sort of limiter is in place because of it. Related mods that may help find the problem are as follows

-FMIC

-Plugs were changed about 1000k ago

-Nistuned r32 ecu

-Bosch 040

-Apexi pod in a box

-3' straight through exhaust

-34 turbo at around 10 psi

Someone suggested just give the yellow wire the snip (53) and try but would prefer to know if anyone has ever had any experiences like this.

it could just be the speed cut, but i'd have thought that 5500rpm in 5th is above 180kmh. i'd say that you are just not making enough power to overcome the drag. you'll need a lot more power to get to redline in 5th gear. when i still had access to the runway at the local airport my r33 topped out at about 6500rpm.

but if you are getting a lower rev limit in 4th as well, then it's speed cut. my old 180sx hit the speed cut on the dyno at 7000rpm (500rpm below the rev limit)

      The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing

      Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.

      All Jap Day is coming up again! 13th of July this year. Are you going? Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 6pm. Please let Quang know as well. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1163155775853542   I still get shit from my wife for this photo because it is the happiest she has ever seen me. And it's not with her, it's in someone else's car.   Quang's EVO is sick, but that rotary wagon flying past was absolutely bonkers.
