Hi,

Is anyone elses boost going up a little more than usual in this current weather state? Mines nearly reaching the +7mmHG, im thinking around 10-12psi.

This is at night of course.

turn your undercar neons off and everything will go back to normal.

Its common knowledge that undercar neons will increase your boost levels, even on NA 4 Cylinder's

You will notice more performance at night comming into winter due to the colder dencer air...

This is common for any car... Cause if the air is 10 degres cooler entering the air filter its gonna be 10 degres cooler at the throttle body (allow for some variance of course)...

This in turn will make the turbo sound different and improve performance... But i have seen boost increase under stock control or with a bleed valve....

Us with electronic boost controllers dont see these things happen anymore...

I've been told with the avc-r (electronic boost) that it can still spike.

i'm running 1.2bar of boost (17psi) and the guys who tuned it said it could spike to about 1.3bar of boost during cold weather.

Haha, my neons are off haha. Yeh i understand the colder air theory, we all did year 12 science. But i would of thought the actuator and the wastegate would of controlled all the increase and ONLY slightly increase the boost. Isuppose thats the way it goes.

Anyways is your car doing it? for those who dont have the SPC SBC ABC PFC PFFFFFFT systems, =)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
