hey guys

i am almost track ready with my rb25 s13 build but i have a few issues that need sorting first.

the main problem is the engine isnt able to catch the falling rpm when coming off the throttle. the engine will idle all day but when i blip the throttle the rpm will increase then fall past the idle and the engine will stall.

what voltages should i be seeing coming from the brown and purple plugs for the AAC valve?

i have done all the wiring needed for the conversions and believe it could be electrical, if anyone else has an idea of where to look please tell.

my boost/vacuum guage shows around 24 in hg vac at idle and increases when I let off the throttle.

my bov is venting to amostphere and I read this causes problems however the bov came off my old rb25 r31 which didn't have the idle problem.

When i bought an aftermarket BOV that vented to atmosphere i got told to keep the standard one that vents back because if it doesnt then it will stall after getting off the throttle. So change the BOV to a recirculating one and see how you go.

shit ay, thanks for the input :)

the 31 was running a standard rb25 ecu which is why I kinda ruled out the bov being the problem. unfortunately ill have to weld a tag onto my intake pipe and tap a fitting in so I can recirculate the air.

before all of this iv

just got another question. what gives the signal to increase the rpm at idle when electircs start to get turned on like headlights/high beams and my electric cooling fans? at idle I can switch both fans on and the head lights and the idle will drop. I believe iv

missed something when wiring up all sensors.

if anyone's interested, I have blocked off the bov with a coke can gasket and it's hasn't help much. I did however find that my tps was missing one the two bolts that get undone when adjusting the sensor.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
