Talk to Sam about the idle problem. He would know better then anyone since he was working on the car and knows what was changed.

Looks promising though. When you are done see if Sam can lay your power curve over mine (Silver R32 with TD06 that made 240odd on his dyno) . I suspect your curve will be enough to convince me that the Plazmaman inlets are worth the money :P

Hope you get it sorted, be good to see another silver R32 makign some numbers in Vic ;)

I had a problem similar the your's with the missing so I went and bought the splitfire coil packs to but that didnt fix the problem had to the gap the plugs down to 7mm b4 it fixed it ,was a bit dissappointed with the splitfires really .I would stay with coppers to atm till you sort out your problems with the miss fire I use them all the time .Can U post up a pic of the engine bay with the plenum fitted please, thinking about getting one of them for my car but just want to know what has to be modified for it

Cheers Peter

The Splitfire are good in that you can at least be confident that the spark is even accross all the cylinders, and they are cheaper then new form Nissan. Mine are gappedat either .76 or .78mm. No issue even up to 1.5bar

On the same dyno....against an RB20 with GCG Hi-Flow R34 turbo.

Fix up the spark, also what are you doing for boost control. It seems to roll onto boost rather then really coming on and boogying. The other thing that may be worth trying is cam gears. A few ppl have now commented that could be the difference between good results and very surprising results. My first tuner said they didnt do anything on my car, the current tuner was obviously able to find power somewhere, could be the cam gears.

When Sam dyno'd my car i was running more boost then the engine was really tuned for. I asked my tuner to stop protecting me from myself and on his dyno im now making 26rwkws more so i would suggest cam gears could be something to look closely at. God knows 260/8.9mm cams didnt work in my engine :D

i had similar problems when i did my car the car turning off and not idleing is a tuning problem.

have him look at it again.

another thing i notice with your car you said it only pulled 117rwkw when it was stock.

mine pulled 142rwkw with just 3inch exhaust i dont think the exhaust would put that much power down??? would it?

has your mechanic checked the compression?

make sure you head gasket isnt screwed BEFORE you run 20 psi thorught it trust me i know from experiance. IT WILL GO BANG!

yea i have already booked in another tune with him next week. hopefully it rolls our of there purring like a kitten.. hehe.

ill let him know to do a tune Challenge between ur's and mine. then will have to line em up and let Faith know who wins :)

yea 117kw is a dead stock R32 gts-t no mods or boost. sam was telling me most stock R32's make 95-100kw's

and no i havnt checked the compression but it is a good idea. i will let sam know to check it 4 me.

ill try put sum shit NGK coppers in and gap em to 0.7mm see if that does anything.

cheers

will keep u guys posted

hey how you doin mate. look i know im a newbie and all 2 dis site but i had da same problem. wen u punch it n back off n hold the clutch in does it feel like its gona stall on u and come back 2 normal revs?? and da splattering??? ok i tried bigger fuel pump, coils, sparkplugs, etc etc etc. when i wen back dey narrowed it down 2 da vct. while dey have it on a dyno if it does it again get em 2 pull off da plug 4 it n play around wid da timing.

just a hint. it took me a month n every day at da work shop 2 get em 2 find it.

i have a r33 wid hybrid front mount single stage boost controller, bov, aftermarket fuelpump, platinum spark plugs ( which do make a better spark in my case ) that are gapped at .8.

even with da vct not connected i pulled 213.2 kw@tw. so im guessing u will blow way over wat u think :(

anyways good luck wid it n hope it works out well 4 ya :worship:

^^^ For those who don't understand jibberish:

dis = this

da = the

wen = when

dey = they

wid = with

And let me guess...you have an atmo bov...if you do then thats why you're having stalling issues...and you're making 213rwkw without a proper ecu? *cough cough*

With regards to the splitfires..

There's a thread over on the datalogit forum where some one checked out the coils with an FSA scope.

Long story short the dwll time within the pfc for the split fires was incorrect. Resulting in ignition breakdown at over 17psi odd ~290awkw.

Adjusted dwell time so that the coil is saturated and missfire disappears.

hahaha na seriously thats what i got on the dyno on a stock computer. like i said i havent had the car long so the previous owner must have done something 2 it. i know what u mean because i didnt believe it either when they told me.

sam was telling me most stock R32's make 95-100kw's

not to take anything away from sam, but i really doubt that :D

i have not heard of a single healthy stock rb20 making near that figure, hell even CA's make around that at the rear wheels. ofcourse this depends on alot of things. even i and mates have have theirs dynod in stinking hot weather, one got 140rwkw and the other got 120rwkw, both absolutely bone stock, i got 150 with just a AM catback exhaust. all different dynos at different times BTW

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
