i hav a '93 rb26tt thats being a pig!!!!! it stalld on me a week ago then started to

over fuel heaps.... had a mate look at in on monday night and it didnt play up when

he was there (as usual) then yesterday it started to over fuel and run like a pig again.

today it wouldnt hold idle and now it wont crank!!!!!!!!! ive recently changed from a

standard computer thats been chiped by mines to an apexi power fc.... tha power fc

already had a map for this motor (its not a standard rb26) and it seemed to hold idle

a bit more solid than the mines but as i said it wont start now unless its clutched....

any help would be great :)

Are you sure its poring in fuel? Have you checked plugs & coils? Injectors can be stuck open from dirty fuel and it has clogged up the injectors. Not cranking? Once again injectors stuck open so there are flooding a few cylinders, this also can be caused by bad plugs (flooded), bad coils or even ignition module. Maybe try a stock ECU? Might be the wrong tune...

Checking them one by one will take you closer to you problem...

Cheers,

Alex.

im sure it fueling up... you can see it spitting on the exhaust tip then it evaporates. and when it finally starts

it blows alot of black smoke. the mines computer ran it fine untill last sat when it stalld.

how do i go about checking coils injectors etc? could it be a prob with o2 sensors or the fuel reg?

ive gon efrom owning a datto with carbies to a rb27tt (tomei stroker) im in over my head i think :)

Try putting the old stock mines ECU back in. Defiantly sounds like a fuel/ignition problem. Take the plugs out and have a look at the condition. Faulty coil packs usually come from having cracks in them.

TRY:

*Taping the wire loom that connects all the coils

*Replacing new plugs to NGK iridium gapped to 0.8mm

*Checking coil packs for cracks (If so try to using silicon to fill them in)

*Maybe a new Fuel Filter

A few questions:

*Is it running a fuel regulator?

*Bigger injectors ECT..

*Any other modification you know about?

If your running bigger injectors, bigger AFM's, cams ect you most defiantly need a tune. a full list of mods will help.

It’s hard to explaining everything set by step. Try getting it to a specialist or a tuner to source out the problem.

The last thing you want to do is throw $100 worth of plugs at it when your chasing a gremlin. A $20 set of coppers will be fine.

A simple fouled plug or split/popped off cooler hose can give the problems you describe.

Have you tried a new set of plugs?

But as you mentioned the problem has come and gone I would say its likely to be ignition related.

And as alluded to by Paul, if the power fc wasnt tuned when connected up to your engine, which is modified, then that wont help much either.

check air flow meters as well.

dude the pfc was tuned for this motor as is, i havnt changed a thing

on the motor so it should still run... i will get a set of plugs and c if that works.

how would u go about checking the intercooler pipes for leaks?

ok............ i took off the breather hoses on the rocker covers and blanked them off.

i re checked tha gaps in the new spark plugs (oops forgot to gap them), put the mines comp back in after changing it for the pfc again and the car runs!!!!!!!!!! lacking power and still running heaps rich but atleast

now the motor behaves under load....... going to take the pfc and car to a tuner and c whats wrong.

according to the last owner of the car that pfc spent 14hrs getting tuned for this motor set up...

buggerd if i know y it isnt working rite.... :whistling: tha mines computer f**ked out on me originaly

so im afraid to put it down to being the comp

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
