OK for the past few days my car has been giving me absolute hell and I am asking here to see if I can sort it out before taking it a mechanic. I know you guys are really helpful, so here goes.

I've got an RB20DET in my s13, converted by a highly praised workshop, with a pod as the only mod. It's been fine for about 2 months now, but in the past couple of days it's shit itself. Everytime I slow down it has a heart attack, it revs really low and feels like it's about to stall. It's stalled on me 4 times in the past 2 days, 3 times today. I have no idea what can be wrong as I haven't touched a thing on it since I got the engine. Everytime I stop at a red light it either stalls or almost stalls. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with it, as I don't want it stalling everytime I stop.

It's got the stock blow off valve. Haven't touched a thing other than the dipstick when checking the oil. After I start it up again it loses power for a bit (drives as slow as a commodore :D ) kinda like theres no pressure going into the turbo.

Yep,sounds like air leak.Check blow off valve hose and pcv hose.Even the o-ring on the dip stick.Clean AFM,look for wires that may have been stressed when the motor was put in and have now broken away.Even squirt some carby cleaner down the idle control motor as they can block.

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
