Hi,

Got a few problems with my RB20det 1st off i did my head gasket in it about 2 months ago so i put my spare 20 out of a wreck i brought had that engine in the car for a week and blew a turbo return water line and put a hole in piston 6.

So i was forced to put a new head gasket a Tomei 1.2mm with some hylomar on it and i put a hypergear tr43 turbo on it. I also wired in a z32 afm plug and still have the standard rb20 afm plug on it as well.

My problem is that the car runs but it idles at about 2000rpm and when it revs above that it cuts out at about 3-3500rpm.

My quick diagnostic is that the 2nd afm plugs are causing the computer to read the afm wrong, or that the computer is still in limp mode after the engine failure of the last engine or with all the plugs being disconnected that one or 2 havent got good connections.

Any ideas or thought about this issue that might help would be great full.

Also ive got a standard comp with a remap.

Cheers David

Was it remapped AFTER you changed afm's?

Hi mate,

I didnt change the afm just wired in the z32 plug into the loom still running the r32 afm.

It shouldnt cause a problem having the 2 plugs in the loom but im not sure now.

Cheers

Too much boost and hitting Boost cut? have the AFM maxed out? or maybe faulty AFM? are you running ext WG?

Hi Stao,

Not running ext wastegate just the standard internal one not running a boost controller just what the standard 10psi ive got a spare arm will change it to see if thats the prob it was working fine a month ago tho.

Cheers

hmm mine would idle at 1700 and cut at 3g as well, went i had a broken wire going to the afm

maybee u broke one of the wires when putting the 2nd plug on

      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.
