since i got my new car last week, i havnt really had a chance to give it a good run till tonight.

I noticed that there is a missfire/flat spot high in the rev range between 5350ish to 6200 rpm then kicks back in at full tilt. this is 2nd and 3rd. its like a surging feeling... power stops, slowly builds revs then bang back with full power. also after this i noticed it miss firing under all load right thru the rev range under load (10 & 12psi)

did a search and found some things about the coils and spark plugs but not sure if it all applies to a S1 rb25.

mods are fmic, full 3", duel stage boost, kn panel, fuel pump and heavy duty clutch.

I have a S-AFC to install yet. would this be able to point out the problem? or maybe a tune via this could fix?

car was supposedly tuned before and made high 190rwkws... my old one made 193 and this feels a lill faster untill this happens

any thoughts guys?

Get the safc tuned- should fix it up. Other wise, here's my standard reply...

Are the plugs in properly? - reseat.

Are the plugs the correct heat range? - std is 5. 6 and 7 should also be ok.

Are the plugs gapped to 0.8mm - std plugs are 1.1mm, regapped to 0.8mm makes a sturdier spark.

Are your coil packs old and fcuked? - epoxy old ones or get new ones.

It could be running rich. - ECU adds more fuel than fuel needed running more boost. This can cause misfire. - Need aftermarket ECU or piggy back cumputer and tune.

It could be running lean. -fuel pump not supplying enough fuel to the engine, causing it to ping and the ecu hears this by microphones and cuts/retards the ignition. - need a fuel pump, common in early 33's

Hmm i got exactly the same problem on my rb20, at the same rev ranges. Had an assessment done, was told my pump was fugged and filter fugged, replaced filter and that made it worse, so im pretty sure its pump.. Became more noticeable after FMIC install, which would lead me to believe it was packs. Sucks that theres no easy way to figure out which it is.. When i get a spare 4 or 5 hours ill have to voltage check my coil packs i spose

I replaced my coilpacks with some low-k used ones, problem solved.

See the huge thread on repairing coilpacks to try and resolve this issue, otherwise, replace coilpacks with used or brand new splitfires. =-]

hope this fixes the prob...

sounds like the stock ECU to me

happens to all of them.

If not, then fuel filter, coil packs, fuel pump... the list gets veeery long :domokun:

arrgh dont say that! lol... my other 33 had a link ecu(useless pos) already installed so i never had to go thru that, will know tomorrow... hope this safc2 is a good as i hear :

mine was just like, carr drriivveE....hit massive boost, then it just feels like something snaps, power dies, picks up again. over..and over...and over

same here. get onto boost and then it feels like someone has turned the key off, then it comes back, starts lighting the tyres up, dies again.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
