R34 Missing, Running Rich

I had my avcr installed last week and since then have only had problems with my car.

it was running perfectly beforehand and never skipped a beat. the car has an ARC fmic, 3" exhaust, pod..the usual basics.

the car used too boost to 10psi with the full exhaust on and never had any troubles..was nice & quick.

now for the problems,

the boost was set on 10psi through the avcr because when they tried 2 go any higher it would start missing..was told to change the spark plugs.

whenever the car is pushed past 4k the boost would spike to 11psi and start missing.

when I filled up with fuel I worked out I lost approx 100kms of driving with the amount of fuel used. I instantly thought its hitting R&R.

so I have set the avcr to allow the actuator to control the boost until I get it fixed up. it stopped missing high in the rev range but now its started missing on idle.

opinions on what the problem/s is/are? plugs,coil packs, R&R??

also the avcr should be able to hold 10psi without spiking to 11psi right?

are u still running the std ecu?

honestly a could tune would fix it all up.

anythign u change to the car, uve changed how the car runs.

get it to a tuner, although it would be a big waste if ur planning more mods in the near future, slap everythign on 1st then get a tune.

yeah,I've got an safc ii installed and a sitc ready to go.

I als forgot to mention..the car isn't running rich with the boost on only 6psi but its missing on idle.

just looking for some ideas..I get what ur saying about getting it all tuned and then see

Take it back to the place where you had the AVCR fitted and get them to re-check their work, if it was running with no dramas before hand it has to be something to do with how they fitted it mainly the connections to your standard ecu, i have not had a huge amount to do with the avcr but i know it connects to the injector signal from the ecu (could be causing dramas) i also know that bad or bridged earths between ecu's and piggybacks can cause various issues.

Hey samantha,

I just wanted to know if you had the same problem as me. I got similar mods to you cooler and 10psi boost on my auto r34, and i recently noticed its a bit more lumpy wen its idling, maybe missing? I was wondering if you had any ideas wat it could be?

Also i wanted to ask ya if you moved your auto box cooler? im thinking of getting a bigger one and putting it in the same spot?

Thanks if you can help :(

But i dont think the car is running rich as now that its running 10-11psi, it seems to be getting more km's per tank. does that seem normal for rb25's?

It seems to be idleing rough alot more after a spirited drive than after normal driving? Plugs and oil change have been done a few weeks ago..

Any ideas?

Yea currently im running the BCPR7ES at standard gap, recommended by the tuner, but theyre only about 700Km~ old

Im not 100% but could it be maybe the timming belt on its way? the car is ~65 XXXkm showing on the odo, and not sure if its been replaced..

:/

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
