Rb25 idles but won't rev

Hey guys. I'm a bit stumped on this one. I took my engine out in august to do a clutch and a few other things and I finally got it back in the car but now the car will start and idle but won't rev. Any throttle and it just sputters a bit. I've swapped tps, and cas to no avail. Checked the spark plugs. Boost leak tested and found some boost leaks but didn't fix the issue. Swapped out my ecu with a stock rb unit. When I first tried to start it the fuel pump didn't want to prime. It was something in the wiring by the ecu because I wiggled the wires and it came back.  Now I can jiggle the harness anywhere and not cause a change in how it runs. The car ran fine when I took it out.  Only thing I can figure is the wiring harness since it's kinda ghetto and there as the fuel pump issue. but it's acting like it has a massive boost leak or timing under throttle is way off.  Does anyone have ideas??? Thanks

Would it be able to idle if they were on backwards?  They should be on right. It worked before and the lines are much different lengths so it would be hard to reverse without knowing it

Yes it would, i'll put my hand up and say I've done it. There is no harm in trying to swap them around and check if the problem goes away.

Just a stab in the dark here but had a similar issue with my lil brothers integra when we did a major service on it. Ended up being an earth cable connecting to the water thermostat housing to the chassis, so i recommend checking all the earths/ground wires are bolted up tight.

    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.
    • Would you mind uploading the pics again in your steps?  It’s not showing up. 
    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
