Hi!

My rb20 is playing on me. Yesterday I went for a drive.

Car was ok for pretty much whole time, normal driving, could boost etc.

Than I tried to have a speed test with s14 sr20det from.

Turned on my boostcontroller, installed recently. Profecb, tuned to 0.6-0.7 at 1,2,3 gear. Standing, 1,2,3(gave it some revs), go. 1 st gear pulling, 2nd gear car jurks, no boost. I stop immediately. Idle revs not stable, can't drive a car at all, no power under load. Checked all the hoses, seemed fine and in place. Vacuum at idle : -.7 bar, can rev but with some misfire around 2k.

Revs stable at idle.

Than I turned the engine off to let it rest for a bit. Turned on again in 10-15 min, same. Puffed some black smoke when I put in 1st gear and gave it some revs just to move. On the road home I had to built some revs, around 2-3 k and engage the clutch to make it drivable, without doing it it woulnd't built revs with WOT at all, just drop rev and stall.

Came home hooked up consult, no errors - code 55.

Unplugged AFM, 2500 limiter.

Here are some vids shot yesterday and today.

It was a bad idea to get out of the basement park with such problems, but had no choice, had to do it anyway.

Yesterday consult:

Today revs under load, driving:

My ideas:

Fuel pump. (I have bosch 040, maybe it died ?) shows 2.5 bar at idle. Like it should.

AFM died ?

Timing belt jumped a tooth ?

.Sorry for my english LOL.

Looking forward for some ideas.

Thanks!

I looked at all the piping and it seems to be all in place. If I understand correctly it won't idle ok and it won't show -.7 vacuum at idle. As no piping - leak, unregistered air is going in.

have u checked ur afm? also wat mods u got on the car? its hard to say when we dont know whats been done to it?

also black smoke could be a turbo? correct me if im wrong, but if you blow the turbo, the car will still run but no boost yeh? shot an exhaust wheel??

Mods: stock engine, fmic, stock exhaust, bosch 040 fuel pump.

I checked the intercooler piping and its seems intact. I will go have some fun with my car today. Maybe go get another AFM.

Ok, I've managed to get my engine boosting and reving again. Problem was with the the pipe from the afm to turbo, air leak. And from intercooler to intake plenum. They all had air leaks once on load. Strange. Than after I get rid of that problem, car became driveable. But doesn't pull as hard as before. Didn't try with the boostcontroller yet. Also turbo now got that flatter sound. And I also get backfire when I change gears. I was like wtf ? Also there was some oil in the turbo>intercooler pipe. Cleaned it.

So now car boosts, has mad turbo flatter sound, doesn't pull as hard and gets some idle rev issue when u back of the throttle or press brakes.

Any ideas ?

Will post vids later.

Boosting again.

1st gear pull and really loud bang/backfire. It was like gun shot.

Had little fuel in the tank at that moment. So I had something like a fuel cut after that backfire. Damn it :x

Exhaust note at idle after the backfire bang.

Now I got some drone sound in the downpipe area. Maybe I shot of a turbo exhaust wheel ? :cheers: :?

And some fun, doing some donuts a week ago.

What I got now:

1)Engine can rev, make boost.

2)Got mad turbo flatter sound now.

3)Got rid of most air leaks I guess.

4)Car doesn't pull as hard as before. Or I just forgot how it pulled already.

5)And I get backfire bangs nearly every time I change gear. It even backfires on idle, when I rev it and lift off the throttle.

When I was looking for the air leak in intercooler piping, I found some oil build up in turbo>intercooler pipe, wiped it off.

Edited by robots

I had oil all through my piping and exhaust when the seals in my turbo blew, so maybe that has happened.

Not too sure bout the backfiring but when my 32 was still N/A i had alot off backfires or 'pops' as i changed gear and some times when i changed down

The turbo flutter could be from a BOV that isnt opening and pushing out the air back through the turbo (oil in the piping might have gotten into the BOV and is making it harder for it to open). also if there is oil leaking through the inlet side and into the motor that may aslo be holding back some power, and not letting it feel like it is going as hard

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
