Stagea throttle body sensor help rb25det neo

Hi, managed to get engine running from a stagea to r34 gt4, all is well but slip light switches on full throttle at 5k rpm. And loses power. This throttle body has two plugs but i do not have the plug for the throttle body 2nd sensor as in picture.

question is what are the wires on the grey plug for?

Pictures attached many thanks for any help

the loom used from ecu to engine is a previous r34 turbo conversion loom but does not have the plug to connect into second tps sensor plug.

The pictures are a little confusing.

1. I was under the impression that GT4s did not have traction control. So why do you have a traction control throttle body on your crossover pipe?

2. Ditto, Stageas, even turbo Stageas, do not have TCS either.

3. What engine loom are you using? The original car's, or the one that came with the engine? Are you sure the one that came with the engine is actually from that engine? See question 2....

There are 2x grey loom plugs on that part of the engine. One is on the loom and clicks onto the Neo's boost sensor at the rear of the cam/coil covers. The other hangs off the traction control motor (front side of the crossover pipe, down low) and runs left and forward to a bank of 3x loom plugs located at the front end of the plenum. But depending on the provenance of your loom and the engine and that crossover pipe, you might not have everything. You certainly have things you shouldn't.

Hi thanks for the response so the engine is a stagea neo turbo, it has one tps sensor with 2 plugs coming out of it. The engine was complete as in picture.

the loom installed is from a previous car that was a r34 gtt non turbo loom converted to turbo loom. 

 

have zero fault codes, have the odd occasion where the 4wd light flashes, and the slip light flicks on full throttle only.

Currently running a stagea turbo ecu.

its a mix of everything 😂 its runs good just full acceleration the car hits a wall and backfires. But if throttle is feathered in will go redline.

 

in neutral will hit redline no hesitation.

did notice the rear attessa pump was really hot as burnt my hand from it not sure if it is meant to get super hot.

what i need to know is on non tcs cars is there only 1 plug with 3 wires? 
 

the car itself there is no tcs switch was originally r25de non turbo manual 4wd.

OK, so after a closer look at your first photo I realise that while the body of the TCS throttle is present, the motor isn't really there and it looks like the TCS TPS is not present on the back. So you should not have any wiring coming out of the three bolt cover on the front, or on that block of alloy on the back.

That leaves just the main throttle body (the part closest to the plenum). To the best of my knowledge, the main throttle body and its TPS is the same between TCS cars and non TCS cars.

What do you mean by "the throttle body has two plugs"? The main throttle body TPS in your photo clearly has one bunch of wires coming out the TPS on the front, and these should go to a loom plug at the front end of the plenum, as I described above. You show that grey plug with 3 wires, but you do not say where those wires come from, apart from "out of the throttle body". But where on the throttle body? Are you sure?

As to the driving behaviour. Are you running >10 psi? The stock ECU will chuck the shits at you based on the inputs from a number of sensors (the AFM and the boost sensor primarily) if it thinks you're pushing it harder than Nissan wanted, which is not very hard at all. If you are, you should really have Nistune in the ECU.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
