Well started doing it the drive home after I picked it up... Few times when I stopped at lights it'd just cut out so I'd have to restart it. Doesn't do it every time but idles a bit funny too like it's threatening to do it. Did it 4 times yesterday when I drove home :(

Also when I was driving to a friend's place I started losing boost/power and could hear a hissing noise... At the friend's place, I checked under the bonnet to see if I could work out wtf was going on. Found that a clamp was loose on the big air intake pipe on the right hand side (the one with twin turbo written on it) and the rubber hosey part coming off it was slipped down. Fixed that and tightened it and seemed to fix the probs breifly but happened again when driving home.

Checked the same spot and this time it looked fine... Getting it all checked by Autotech tomorrow to be safe and I haven't really driven it much since cause it's pretty embarrassing!!! Looks like I'm stalling all the time :(

I should add that I know it's quite possible that I have more than one problem here. Could be any number of things as to why its cutting out.

Air hissing and already 1 loose hose found likely to be caused by the person playing around in that area on Friday.

hi gtrkat, i have been following you're progress so far and u have all the goods motor wise. and with any build the headaches and dramas arrise when everything is put together and you're driving it for the first time.

from you're last post with the looose hose/pipe/clamp ' air-hissing' noise and it stalling, i'm sure u'd have to change you're spark plugs as they would be fouled by now, so factor that in when you go to talk to the electrician, and get him to re-emburse you for them.

just my 2 cents. good luck with the car, and hope to see it on the road soon, problem free :D

Hey Matey cheers for that. It was only driven a tiny amount before getting fixed. I'll get onto the guys at Autotech and get them to check it but it doesn't feel like they've been affected by this at all - I can tell you he will be paying for them if there's an issue though considering they're brand new!

Not yet but Greg is going to snap some for me before it goes :D

Autotech are also going to take some of it all fully assembled before it gets dropped back in.

I was just reading through and noticed there were no pics of the head so I attached some below. Someone asked what the weight differences of the pistons were, lightest was 366.9, heaviest 368.3, the pins were within .1g. Matching them up with the lightest piston on the heaviest rod small end I had to remove a max of .7 grams from some rods. The crank was balanced as well. The crank balance from Tomei is very good but you can get it a touch better. The kit fitted with no mods to the block or pistons. Overall the 2.8 is a really nice kit.

Kat, I saw the dyno graph from the initial tune the other day, very nice torque curve! Will be nice to see once everything is sorted completely.

Some pics of the head:

Cheers,

Greg.

how is yours going now Steve-O? what kind of response are the GT-RS's giving with the 30?

Mate its on the run in tune (got 400 more k's to go, ill do them quite fast) then swap ECU's and go for some decent boost. Its just the best combo on the big bottom end, wish i did it sooner and didnt waste time with the 2.6 block :D

Basically its got the response of the poxy little stock twins but way, WAY more torque and once the boost is there the power aswel.

Hey Greg cheers for that! I'm so happy with the car, words can't even describe!! Torque curve is great, its just such a different car now! (Should add that more pics are on facebook and my photobucket of the whole process)

Run in tune is done but still not doing anything terribly nasty to her just yet. Few things need to go still, in the not too distant future I'll be getting a metal cat and choosing another exhaust as mine both aren't up to scratch anymore. Will also have a new front mount but not sure when... Kinda letting our finances settle after such a large amount of work and Christmas all at once!

Much nicer to use setup than when you had the GT47 on there then?

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
