American in Okinawa. Previous 70s muscle car owner/driver, SCCA Porsche 911 AutoXer, now Stagea owner. Love the car. 97 RsFour. Right now the turbo isn't kicking in. Did a tune up and they told me the airbox(?) needs replaced...or the computer. Looking for a used R-33 Koki 95 up. Air box or Air flow meter. Anyone help me with what I need or a good used one?

Thanks

Mick

Ahh, if you're in Japan wouldn't it be really easy to get spare parts for a stagea there rather than from Australia?

I live in Okinawa and still have to order parts from mainland Japan. What I wanted was help with knowing what I need. You guys know your Stagea's and I'm just new to the car. Not sure if air box or air flow meter is the name of what I need. I don't speak or read Japanese, so there is another barrier being in Japan...

Air flow meter is more likely than air box. The air box is just a plastic box where the air filter lives so not sure how that could be the problem... Unless it was smashed to bits.

Sounds like you have a few challenges there.

It's very probably the AFM, could also be that it needs a clean, might be choked up with Jap soot.

Sounds like you better get a japanese girlfriend quick, she can translate for you, (amongst other things)! :woot:

O genki desu ka StageaNaWasan...

If you are cleaning the AFM then only use a pressurised spray can.

Avoid the temptation to wipe it with a rag...you know you want to!

Use an electrical parts cleaner or brake linings cleaner - something that drys clean and leaves no residue. Just a few second spray is all that is needed and you dont even need to remove the AFM from the car to do it.

P.S What do you actually mean by ' the turbo isnt kicking in'? Maybe the wastegate is stuck open, maybe you have a sock up the plenum. (lol)

Could possibly have a chocked up CAT - a restriction in the intake and/or the exhaust will both stop the turbo from working.

If you have gone to the effort of pulling the AFM out then take off the intake pipe that leads to the compressor side of the turbo and give the turbine a spin with you fingers (gently now). Try to see how much sideways slop it has on the bearing - if it touches the housing or it feels notching as you turn it, then you've got bigger problems.

      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.
