linluv84 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 My motor (RB25det NEO) is missing the boost press sensor and boost control solenoid. Will the ecu go into limp mode without the pressure sensor? I couldn't find anything in the fsm troubleshooting charts showing what it will do without the sensor. The eventual goal is to have a functional MIL, so I'm assuming I'll need the sensor at some point. As far as the solenoid goes, I was thinking about simply getting an 8lb wastegate actuator and calling it a day, unless there is a USDM solenoid that will work...

hoov100 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 check the knock sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I know in a z32 all the boost sensor does is send info to the inst cluster boost gauge. On a z32 it will not throw a code or go into limp mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 When I first had my car, I didn't have knock sensors... so I put in a resistor or capacitor somewhere to eliminate the error code (and yes I still don't have knock sensors).

linluv84 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the replies. Just going over this stuff in my head as I sort out the rest of the build. Good to know I have one less thing to deal with. Hopefully now that I'm employed again and have a new ecu, I will get to drive my Z again in the near future. It gets kinda irritating when you've got over $10k of project in the garage and can't find the $500 to finish and enjoy it...

Sorry to say but 10k is a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeoster Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 $10K for a nice RB25 powered Z build is not a lot in my opinion. I probally had around 6k in my 280z but that thing was a beater aside from the engine. My new build should ring in at about $10k. But the Z was bought with an insurance settlement I recieved so I won't really feel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
