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.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
