i had that same problem with my RB25DET mate.....my problem was that my Harmonic key was rooted....it was advancing and retarding timming as i was driving it.....and my revs were doing that as well....it would jump up and down rapidly on idle......so might be worth checking that....i had to replace my motor...goodluck

My R33 was sluggish and i had the cam angle sensor turned left (counter-clockwise) and it increased response and power (10rwkw extra). Did it on a dyno- best way because you can measure the changes to the power curve. Turning yours right might've made it worse.

It's something else you've missed i reckon. A smic swap (i've done the R34 one too) shouldn't do anything other than allow more charge to flow through the intake.

yeah i had the r34 cooler in... then i swapped back to the stock smic cuz this stupid problem.. which i cant figure out what to do...

when i turned the cam angle sensor as far clock-wise as possible it made more power and even more drive ability but its still nothing like it used to...

engine has around 90,xxx kays on it..

only has a pod and turbo to tip zorst..

changed plugs for brand newies around 1000 kays ago..

do oil and iflter every 4000 kays,,

suck a f**king annoyhing thing..

i dont understand whats the go with this ecu diagnostic shit..

their is a tiny red and green led light on the actuall ecu.. they flash and shit when i turn that small screw all the way clock wise o the ecu..

the cat temp sensor light in the dash flashes on and off..

i dont know how to decifer them fault codes and that... what to count and all that :S

im shit i know

haha

cheeeeers

search the forum for ECU+CODES

there was a thread with what each light flash meant.

also, I'm thinking that if all this started with the SMIC install, are you absolutely certain the the 2 rubber joiners for the cooler are not cracked.

have you removed both off the car, cleaned them and thoroughly inspected them?

remember that those rubber joiners have probably not been touched for about 15 years and perhaps as you removed the stock cooler (the pipe has a lip on it) it may have cracked the rubber a little or enough to cause a leak.

it's free so might be worth checking.

i just wrote don how many times them leds flashed and that

i got

2 slow flashes

3 fast flashes

4 fast flashes

5 fast flashes

1 slow flash

2 fast flashes

?? dont know what the shit that means

and also while im waiting for a reply for the ecu codes i checked all cooler piping.. even on the throttle body.. both for the cooler every connector i could see.. their all clearlly old. but no cracks inside or out....

and also while im waiting for a reply for the ecu codes

mate seriously.

search.

I just typed in ECU+CODES just like I told you to do...

and look what happens..

Now look at the 6th thread down.

Now look at the 3rd post.

surely you could have done this yourself.

haha yeah rb20 slug.

took it to a local work shop but they could not find a thing wrong with it... no ecu fault codes showed up...

well when i was playing with it in my driveway it turned out to be the plug for my cam angle sensor was rooted and my timing belt was possibly put back on wrong as if i tried to back the timing off anywhere away from as far advanced as it would go the car would start doing the eratic idle....

i have just brought brand new gates racing timing belt and have rb25 turbo and greddy front mount to go on soonish along with a speedlab ecu remap..

cheeers for all your help guys :)

yeow

yes.. its a fair clean ceffy.. i wouldnt mind eventusally dropping in a rb25... but its a matter of cash like everything else. haha

make the rb20 boogy a bit first.. have fun with it will i got it

cheers guys

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
