Ok so this is the problem.

Took off in first, snapped second and the car cut out.

Started and stalled the car for 200 metres to get it off the road. (not fun on a main road at night in the wet)

Check the engine and found the cooler pipe from the throttle body which goes to the hole under the battery had pooped off. (greddy type m intercooler)

cool so put it back on started the car and now its missing but not really stalling

it misses at idle and under load

I thought I could have fouled the plugs so I gave it I kick in the arse to clear it out

no good still missing

took off AFM while engine was running, car cuts out,

started the car with AFM off, high idle missing is a little better but still there

drive the car home, missing at all RPM barely drivable

Mods on the car thats relivant

r33 turbo

greddy intercooler

3 inch zurst

12psi

greddy profec b spec 2

fuel pressure gauge

air fuel gauge

volts gauge

Here is some extra data

1. I always get popping from the intake manifold when I cold start and backfire between gears so just im guessing the backfire could have caused back pressure and the cooler pipe to pop. This is probably a timing/tune related issue but something to add anyway.

2. the last thing i did to the car was reinstall the fuel pressure gauge sender

So what could have caused the problem?

Is the missing the result of the problem or the cause?

Ideas so far

1.plugs are still fouled (clean, test) but wouldn't have caused the pipe to pop

3.coils? Pull 1 at a time to test for change

basically my mate and i drive 35kms to work together everyday and he wroteoff his 180sx to weeks ago so we are carless unless i can find a solution

Please help

Your pipes popped off due to bad clamp or weak wrist while tightening clamp.

your car runs like crap now due to the 200m of driving worth of fuel that was dumped on the plugs with no air to mix with.

resolution.

1.) use better clamps or use wanking hand to tighten clamps properly (this hand will be stronger).

2.) buy 6 new NGK copper plugs with 0.8mm gap and put them in (wanking hand tightness not required for putting in plugs)

as for your other little problems.

you have a car with an ecu that was tuned SAFELY for 10 psi through a turbo of size X

you now have 12 psi crammed in to it through a turbo that flows 15% more at same boost levels as stock turbo.

I'm sure a remap/chip would resolve the little misfires up top etc.

speak to Toshi or CEF11E from these forums for remap options.

thanks for being so candid hahaha im still laughing.

i got a new set of NGK Coppers BCPR6ES to go in tonight (fingers crossed)

i did give it a good pumping for a couple of minutes afterwards but maybe there stuffed

at $3 a plug i dont care. hehe

as for a remap ive had a pfc and hand controller sitting in my shed for 6 months now.

im trying the get the money together for a major service, tune and to put my hks cam gears in.

im nearly there so hopefully your right.

ill test tonight a post results.

thanks guys.

plugs will fix it. reason being is that because the cooler pipe popps off no air goes to the engine and the injector is letting in heaps of fuel with fowles the plugs.

So you dont have a tune for the r33 turbo?

thanks guys for your input.

6 dead spark plugs later and the car is flying again. i had the some ngk plugs in it before but they were 7's. the 6's are smooth as.

very happy

yeah still need cash for PFC tune but i still made 180kw atw on the dyno so still a healthy figure.

My cars intercooler piping popped off a while back, I put it back on and things went alright. It came off again, and again.. til I bracketed the bastard from coming off anymore.

I drove the car to a crash repair shop to get some work done and when I went to drive it out, the car wouldnt start. Theres fuel going to it, but just no bang! :P

Could this be the same problem? And is it the same thing that I need to have a look at? :)

Sorry to ask in this thread but its basically the same concept.

Cheers...

id def have a look at it but what work was done at the shop, was any pipes taken off???? does your car normally have cold start issues??

If your using what we call here in the states.....WORM CLAMPS......... then you may want to run a bead around the ends of each pipe so the clamps have something to bit.

Or put 2 clamps on the pipe/coupling thats popping off

When I said bead I ment weld bead...

But worm clamps are :D

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
