My r33 is currently at a tuner on the dyno but the air temp sensor is reading 50 degrees all the time. im running a haltech platinum sport 2000 with supplied air temp sensor. its a 25 in a 33 gtst. need help as its preventing car from being tuned??????

Check the temp sensor's resistance at various temperatures (ie, warm it up in water, cool it down in the fridge). If its resistance is observed to change (and make sure the values you see are in line with what is expected for that sensor) then try connecting resistors of various values to the sensor's loom plug and see if the Haltech tells you differing temperatures (that would match the resistors). If that doesn't work, try the resistors direct at the ECU's pins.

You get the idea. You're trying to work out if the sensor is borked, the ECU is borked or the wiring is borked.

Thanks for the responses guys. it would seem that the problem was that the last person to calibrate the air temp sensor had it that far out it wasnt funny. lucky car hasnt really be opperated on that tune.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      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.
