ok, finally finished putting the intercooler on yesterday... took it out for a test drive... gave it a hit and as soon as the boost comes on around 5000 RPM the car just starts backfiring (atleast it sounds like backfiring) and it doesnt even move past the revs... the boost has gone up cuz of the fmic but im not sure how much because I dont have a boost guage put in yet...

this problem still occured before i put the fmic on but it was no way near as bad as now... it used to mainly do it in 2nd gear when i put my foot down... but still used to hit redline eventually (while backfiring between 5000 to Redline)...

my mate told me to change my sparkplugs which i did while i had the car apart for the fmic... but i only changed 4 out of 6 cuz i snapped 2 of them while putting them on... could that be it?

or do you think its fuel... maybe injectors? ive got no idea to be honest... complete noob on this sorta stuff

the car drives fine if you dont punch it... if you slowly take it to redline it will go there no problem... no backfiring at all... but if you give it a hit it just stops going past 5000 and starts backfiring like crazy

HELP PLEASE

oh btw who knows any decent shops in western sydney (blacktown area) where i can go to get them to look at it...

Sounds like spark issues, maybe gap your plugs down to say 0.8mm....but your tune is not coping with the extra boost provided by the fmic. Just make sure your not getting det, cos you will destroy that motor.

You need a tuner, buy a magazine and look for ads...........

dont worry guys i fixed it...

turned out i had to tpiece a pipe and run it to another pipe that was hooked up to the old intercooler piping...

blardi japanese instructions... had to guess everything lol..

thanks anyways...

no boost controller yet... profec b going in about a fortnight... stock ecu... standard boost... stock boost guage doesnt show it going past 6psi..

pretty sure it is running rich...

but changing the spark plugs did make a slight difference..

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree.
