hi guys.. i hope i could get some help with technical stuff here..

i have an RB20DET in my cefiro..

using dastek piggyback and vg30 turbo with fmic.

when i rev through to 4500 it seems stuck.. it wont go further..

engine's got enough boost but it seems to act like its on a launch control..

im pretty sure i put my rev limit on 7500 =S

and its really hard to start it when cold =O

the rpm just keeps dropping down.. and its not stable.. feels like the engine gonna stop any second..

wasnt a comfortable ride at all =S

really need help guys >.<

ive changed my fuel pump, oils, sparks... seems that im still having the same problem =S

theres nothing wrong with my afm... i checked it.. no boost leak either.. well so far i checked....

what is the TPS thou?

could it be the coil? coz i f**ked up the socket.. dont know where to get them... =S

thanks guys.. much appreciated

Certainly could be a coil, if you've got coil issues fix them ASAP.

TPS = throttle position sensors. It sits on the side of the throttle body. If it's misaligned or damaged it will cause all sorts of weirdness,

Coils sound like a good starting point though if you know you have a damaged one.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

hmmm.. ive checked it.. i think i have a boost leak.. i dented my intercooler..

and i have a crack on one of my coil..

oh.. where can i get the coil sockets thou?? how can i substitute them? like, aftermarket coil cables or something..

thanks bro, u guys really help a lot =D

Boost leak shouldn't stop you revving past 4500 but stranger things have happened.

What do you mean by coil socket? Do you mean the top part of the coil module or the long part that sticks into the rocker cover? Any cracks = bad but you can temporarily tape them up with elec tape (there is a thread on SAU about it, search for "damaged coils" "tape coil" or something to that effect. It's a pretty common thing to extend coil life.

If it's busted bad you basically have to replace it. You can use a stock one, or a new stock set or if you have power in mind you can swap them out for a set of splitfire coils whichn even with minimal mods, do give a power gain.

Cheers

i think i found the problem.. theres a tiny hose running through the throttle body.. and the engineer sez it needs to be blocked.. it was causing the afm to misread everything.. so it felt like losing boost..

i cleaned the injectors and fixed the coil.. my 2nd coil was a bit melted.. =O but its still working fine =D

hope it runs pretty well after everything is assembled =)

thanks guys

Sounds good mate, be sure to confirm if that was the cause so this thread has an answer for anyone else searching.

Better yet take a pic and show us the pipe if that is confirmed as the problem.

Cheers

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my engine is working normally now =D.....

so the story were, not a boost leak, not ignition problem.. its all in my dastek unichip wiring!!!!! i took it all out.. the chip and the turbo module.. and its all working fine now.. really smoooth...

im aiming for haltech instead.. so i wont be messing around with lots of sensors anymore.. it gives me too much headache..

phew.. after all that sweat going to the workshop everyday.. finally paid off ^^

hope it works for other ppl as well..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
