hi, my rb25 was hesitating/sometimes missing around load point 13-14 at 2.5, then again at about 3 and again at 3.5 (approx).

I changed spark plugs taking out a set of 2-3 k km old bcpr6e and putting in some bkr6's, and the problem was still there. i already have splitfires, so i thought it must be the tune on the powerfc. After installing the stock ecu back in, it was initially almost fine, ie not revving smooth but not missing completely, so i put this down to the stock ecu not being close enough for my optimal tune. it has since developed the same miss on the stock ecu too. makes it very hard to drive and will hesitate or miss even on low load. light load is fine, backing off is fine. have tried lots of combinations of the two plug types and the ecu's, but none fix the issue.

car is stock turbo, full exhaust, front mount..etc.

it was the catalyst for pulling everything apart anyway, and is continuing since. i think i will try a new fuel filter, as the pump takes a full 10 seconds longer to prime the lines before starting, this is suggesting i have a flow problem?

pump is a bosch 040

problem found.. fuel hose between pump and the bracket had disintegrated, replacing with new, all should be good. thats why i wasnt getting any fuel despite pump running. just chasing a new fuel resistant efi hose and that should be that

    • 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?
