Hi guys,

I've noticed a couple of funny things going on with my car recently. Could the gurus out there have a punt at answering my questions?

1) I noticed the my ign timing is at 10 degrees when the car is idling. I've noticed in many threads people usually have 15 degrees. Will 10 degrees do damage to my engine?

2) After my tune, my car runs funny. Firstly, it idles strangely, the revs go up and down themselves, and sometimes, my car nearly stalls when I turn it on, right before the revs shoot back up to 1000 rpm.

3) when driving off boost (ie 0 pounds or less by not putting your foot on the accelorator hard) my car feels as though it's bogging, and sometimes, it stutters VERY mildly.

THe computer I got is a power FC.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

try cleaning your AAC first or even your air filter intake for the hunting issue. alot of people have had similar problems after tuning and have found just a simple clean would fix their problem. worth a try since it doesnt cost anything except time!

10 degrees at idle simply isn't enough timing.

It needs to be at 15 degrees. This is easy to adjust in the powerfc.

Will this damage my engine at 10 degrees? :domokun:

ALso, whats ACC?

thanks

I have no idea how to use the POWER FC, the manual is all japanese, I'm scared to fiddle with the detting incase I stuff it up.

AAC - auxiliary air control

i'm sure there was a topic on how to clean this just search it in the DIY forums

I tried to find a thread with no success.

Could someone tell me what the ACC looks like and how to clean it?

Photos would be even better.

Or maybe just send me the link to the thread if you know where it is?

Cheers

Are you checking your timing with a timing light or on the pfc? Set your base timing on your CAS at 15 degrees using a timing light then tune with your pfc after that. That way you have a known base to tune from.

I've never had to do anything with the ACC on any Rb.

sounds like you are right on the money man

but what gets me is why do they only have a timming mark on the crank that goes to ten

thats if each mark is 2 degress! :)

    • @Supernanoyour car has ended up in my hands and I was wondering if there has been any work done to the motor?  
    • Sigh... yeah OEM mount rear battery, very R33, very demure, very mindful.
    • Would need a substantial current draw in the car to make a bunch of sparks. Obvs to now test resistance to ground of the car's B+ lead. If there's a short there, you'll see it. Only likely place for that, as you suspect is alternator. But there is also the possibility that rats have had a chew on some insulation. Shitbox has the battery in the boot, yeah? Plenty of cable to attack.
    • Oh, I thought of that too... I disconnected the battery and hooked up the leads direct to the car without the battery in place. Sparks... I suspect the following: Alternator has decided to kill itself Starter has decided to kill itself I'll recharge the battery, then unplug both, and go from there. The above might take 6 months - however I did buy a Victron 15 AMP trickle charger, apparently it's better than CTEK? Amazon, delivery by tonight. https://www.amazon.com.au/Victron-Battery-Charger-15-Amp-waterproof/dp/B07P4LMMMD?ref_=ast_sto_dp
