hey guys the popping on de acceleration has been getting worse for awhile and last night at the drags made it ten times worse. Orginally i thought the cat had shit itself but i had it on a hoist today and the exhuast is all good. And there appears to be no exhaust leaks and no intake leaks and it is holding boost what can course this poping. It appears to be down on power as well. I am hoping that a spike to 16 psi last night down the strip hasnt affected the stock turbo.

its normal to have abit of popping, my pops it ass off normally :)

If you think its excessive or getting worse i would check for intake leaks, just simple things like tight hose clamps and all vacuum hoses are on tight with cable ties. What bov are you running? Could that be leaking slightly?

Also what ecu are you running? stock or tuned?

if the turbo is still boosting fine without funny noises it should be ok, a quick 16psi spike wont hurt it, continous high boost will.

Also remember it is summer now, turbo cars hate the heat so its normal to have a significant drop in power during the day aswell.

lol yeah its good but mine sounds pritty bad more like a old shit box back firing but instead its poping lol i will check the cooler pipes and extra tomorrow. It has a stock ecu but its been retuned by toshi and i am running a stock bov

check your plugs for fouling,

my gtr runs pretty rich, and starts backfiring after about 2 months, especially in summer, the plugs will soot up, i just clean them and problem gone........

hope this works for ya

i will check the plugs there only alittle bit over a month old and the o2 sensor is good its not old at all and tested it a couple of weeks ago and i would mind the pop if it wasnt to excessive but it is quiet bad

I had a problem similar to this turned out to be a leaking o-ring in an injector.

however it can be a number of things a small vacume leak, plugs, afm, 02 sensor. since plugs and 02 sensor are newish i would look at clean afm, then change fuel filter (never know) then look for any fuel leaks

    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
