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

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

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
