Hey Lads

As stated my RB20DET Onevia isnt in the best of health at the moment. For some reason the car will not rev above about 3000rpm or so (well when it starts to build up some boost)... Car was running fine for about 200km's after I took delivery of it. But all of a sudden it just lost all power and feeling through the pedal and sounded like it was hitting the rev limiter (although only at 3000rpm)

So I have had all pipes checked and some replaced, I had the intercooler replaced, the fuel pump is fine, the injectors and gaps are fine. So the only thing I have been suggested to check is coil packs. Possibility?

Cheers

sounds like its in 'limp home mode' happened to my car a while back

the ecu isn't receiving a signal from a sensor so it doesn't allow the engine to rev past 3000 to protect it

on my car it was a faulty afm, check all our sensors (o2, afm, aav, etc) an ecu diagnostic will tell you exactly.

My 2 cents

Cheers Mate. AFM was replaced about 2 months ago...

Thing is it will rev past 3000rpm... but only if your not booting it. 3000rpm is all it will go up to with the foot flat, because it wont let it rev once it starts to make boost. If that makes sense?

sounds like afm? was it replaced with a new item, or 2nd hand one?

better try a nissan consult I reckon.......

Ahh so u do step out of the Stagea section hey? :)

Well the standard one died and was re-built.

It hasnt been re-calibrated yet though. So you think it may be that then?

yeah, I do actually.... mind you Im pretty clueless tho.

Id suggest that the afm isnt able to read the large volumes of air being sucked in by that dinkydi Onevia of yours. hence rich and retard.

How is the fuel economy? ratshit?

Nup economy isnt that bad at all... Which is the strange thing. I think its too quick for rich & retard. Although wouldnt it be spilling black smoke out the rear from excess richness if that were the case?

well it could possibly be coil packs. Would make for an easy solution. Pedal looses all feeling at around the 3000rpm mark when the foot is to the floor... So I'm not too sure. Will talk to you about it more on msn

Mate I know everyone else has suggested AFM but I had the exact same problem in my R32 with RB20DET it would cough and splutter at about 3k RPM and putting the foot flat to the floor would do nothing then all of a sudden it would surge back to life it turned out to be my AFM so yeah it seems likely this could be your problem too.

I'm thinking AFM too... This is a re-built one as the old one failed for some unknown reason. Hasnt been re-calibrated yet. Car is at a mechanics today getting a blue slip done. I'll get them to check the AFM for me

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
