RB check in (Hows your car running?)

[Yellow4g63]

Mine runs stock seems to run really great... other than the fact that my battery is not getting charged:angryfire . Other than with a full charged battery it runs pretty good for a stock car with open down pipe. Can't wait to get all the mods done on it.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

MINES NOT RUNNING AT ALL! OHH WELL I'LL PROBABLY PICK UP A RB25DE AND DO A TURBO CONVERSION.

[Imissmyturbo]

Mines running but not too well. Got lots of lag and fuel cut once I start making power. (Stupid stock ECU) I hope with the Power FC it will help with power delvery and make a nice topend monster out of the car. It also runs hot! I can't sit in traffic for very long.

[skillzilla]

Mine is being stubborn, but I give it 2 days before it decides to cooperate.

[NISMO_RB25]

mine runs like a champ, but I feel it is a little rich with the walbro so I will be doing some fuel adjustments at some point.

Last weekend I replaced all the bushings with Poly and replaced the rear control arms with Tanabe hard parts. Lot of work, but mad a big difference. The Hybrid FMIC is on it's way.

Hello NICO, this is my first post so if it doesnt seem quite right thats why. My rb25 is running alright, open downpipe, too much fuel from the walboro i believe, only oil pressure, water temp and gas level gauges working got about 50 miles on it and cant wait to get the rest of the problems sorted out.

[frosted flakes]

my rb20 is running as good as its ever been. apexi s-afc2 and 3" full exhaust really help, I cant wait till i get some more mods...!

Welcome!

Mine is not started, haven't tried just yet, but I'm stupid because my first startup and I already have more mods done to it then 95% of the people with RB's in their 240's. I'm hoping with so many variables changed that it even will run...I'm going nuts.

mine run like a scaulded dog i love rb's( i wonder why people swap in sr20's) cant wait to but on the new turbo and push the boost abit higher.

[fadeds14]

mine runs great running rich cuz walbro but otherwise clutch slipin like crazy sometimes cant wait for new clutch and turbo upgade what i got rb20det in 95 sexs engineering fmic and custom pipesturbo xs rfl blow off valve walbro pumpgreddy water temp,oil press,boostapexi safc not hooked up apexi el tachblitz turbo timer custom 3in downpipe with custom exaustkazz lsdi love my rb s14 just widh i had speedometer and power steering

[gprodigy85]

why dont you have power steering? its so easy to do.

[goofynick6]

or a speedometer..that's easy to do also...

[Wulfgang]

Mine runs well.... sounds good like only an RB can. Oh, and the other day I tried the A/C switches on the dash. Engine idles up if the A/C is turned on, which means I can assume that my A/C wiring is correct and that the ECU is reading the thermo control amp properly.

Of course, I have yet to get the custom A/C lines made up....

[fadeds14]

powersteering pump is shot and speedometer just havent got to cuz i daily drive it about 50 to 75 miles per day and i dont have the ka lower harness or a speed sensor just chillin i was thimking of buying the apexi rsm

[NISMO_RB25]

i was thimking of buying the apexi rsm

make sure you buy the one that reads in MPH. Most of the ones you see are in KPH.

[skillzilla]

but KPH is soooo JDM tyte, y0!! Like my friends Apexi BC that reads in Kilopascals, so lame.

[xjon]

My 25 is running great. I would like to get it dynoed and tuned properly. Pretty much running stock with custom down pipe to exhuast, and fmic. Walbro of course. My boost settled around 10-11 psi max.

Just emailed mckinney to see where I can get my RB tuned and dynoed.

BTW, my RB is my daily driver.

[Carl H]

mine starts up on a dime.has been that way since i swapped it into the car.only when its really cold out will it not want to start right up, oh well.it runs, hauls ***, and eats civics.im pretty happy.im going to do some custom fmic type deal with a core that i can get localy that flows mad air (750cmf ball park).i figure once i get a fmic and a gt30r i should be round 350whp that will be more than enough for now.

[RBpower]

Just got mine running saturday after purchasing another motorset from Jhot. My clip (not from Jhot) came with a nice blown head gasket motor. The motor I got from Jhot runs great so far. This thing will out run my 6 speed 02 maxima se and the rb20 is stock! I can't wait to get a fmic and bigger turbo.:ylsuper

[vududoc]

Mine runs quite well.... till i killed 2 injectors on a Wangan run up to canada for a show.

[goofynick6]

OK, Started it up, and it revs up and dies, and I can semi keep it running, but it just revs..

Codes: knock sensor and tps

No idea on KS yet, but TPS is because I wired in a Mustang TPS on the mustang throttlebody, and the voltage looked like 1.2 at idle...

I wish I had some of you guys here to help trouble shoot!

Nick

[Yellow4g63]

The RB unit won't fit? Damn that sucks. Try and unplug the maf and see if it will stay running.

[goofynick6]

Unplugged maf and it revved to like 3500 and was kinda like revving right there like at a rev limiter..heh...so it's gotta be the TPS because MAF will cause it to lower the max rpm.

Nick

[goofynick6]

OK...I got it fixed, I had 2 holes in my custom intake manifold I forgot to plug up (DUH), and I had a cut knock sensor wire, and misadjusted TPS..

Now I"m Code 55 baby! Running super rich though, probably from Walbro and lack of O2 sensor.

Nick

[gprodigy85]

yeah the walbro will do it definitly, i believe jon powell tested it with the stock fpr and it was at 58psi! get a fpr and you should be good.

[undertaker]

big pumps make them run rich but every 25DET i have seen tuned has needed a little more fuel in the midrange to get safe air/fuel ratios.my 25 powered s13 has been running well for over six months now, at the moment it is putting out 300rwhp at 11psi with the standard turbo. it makes me glad i built it every time i drive it

[gprodigy85]

damn 300rwhp on the stock turbo, thats pretty badass... got any pcis/videos?

also what did you put inside ?

[undertaker]

there are pics on my cardomain site (added to my sig.)i know of another RB25 getting similar power to mine with even less mods but i think 300whp is getting close to the stock turbo's limit.

[gprodigy85]

cool, i read your cardomain but the mods didn't include any internal work... i assumed you did some internals when you said im glad i built it every time i drive it... gues you just meant built up the rb/silvia ...

if i can get 260-280 with the stock turbo for a while i should be a happy camper... a t3/t4 is in the future plans though, and around 350rwhp.
