hey everyone....

i have just recently finishd putting a RB25 into my 32 and its all running sweet except for.... sumfin which is giving me the shits

As i come on to boost and get up to about 4rpm or so the exhaust starts popping and backfiring.... simliar to as if i had a REVLIMITER "which i dont" and when this is happening im loosing power and acceleration...

ATM it only has cooler, exhaust and fuel pump "as i am a lil low on funds atm :D "

and its running stock boost.

does anyone what my problem may be... iv been told its the coilpacks and sum ppl also said its the fuel pump....

but i want more opinions b4 i do anyfin. Your help would be much appreciated

thanks

josh

Hesitation/stuttering would make me think fuel pump.

Popping and backfiring sounds like spark breaking down. I would start checking ignition items, plugs, coils, coil harness etc.

Is it s1 or s2 25? s1 will have a seperate igniter like 20/26, that could also be stuffed.

Does it do it everytime without fail? or only when hot? or just randomly intermittent?

And enter the noob................

hows it goin, new to this, so be gentle..... he he he...

if your running standard boost, and you've added the new exhaust and front mount etc, you could be experiencing boost creap which is comon.. i found my r33 would sputter and fart at higher revs though until i put in a fuel cut defender and re gapped the plugs..

the FCD helped a fair bit but when i regapped the pluggs that made a world of difference..

the re-gapping of the plugs is probably the cheapest spot to start... i'd then suggest a run on a dyno after that and maybe fuel filter as well to determine the problem properly.. but i do understand that cost presious precious cash monies to do this.....

any ways, couple of extra ideas for ya... hope it works out and the problem gets solved...

nothing worse than chasing a bug...

+1 :D Although when I had the problem that is basically the same as wellzys I was running about 13psi but I dont think that should really make a difference. Cheapest solution to, about $3 per copper plug.

hey guys

just got bak from ovaboost in malaga.... and i was having a chat to mick and getting my powrfc fitted and tuned on thursday... but my 25 probems which i was having has wierdly stopped... after mick unplugged a brown colourd plugged which is located at the back of the throtle body (not literally on the back of the throttle body... just located behind it)

he pulled that plug out because the engine was idleing to high... and dumbass me didnt actually ask him what he pulled out

so the question i ask is does anyone know what this plug may be and why would it have stopd my first problem???

sorry to be a pain in the arse but i just need more info/opinions on this anyoing problem

thanks

Good to hear mate, the simplest things always cause the most grief... and yet finding them is the problem!

What colour is you car man? I work near Ovaboost, and I drive past it 2-3 times a day on test drives. I've probably seen it!

yeh just gald thats all over and i cant spend my money on what i have planned.... my 32 is silver... its the first time iv been to ovaboost in awhile but ill be dealing with them so much more when putting in my plenum and turbo n stuff because they are so helpful and reliable...

cant wait :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
