Hey all, I know it's not for a skyline but same-diff.

Surely this could happen on a skyline, anyway.....

My mate has an s14, sr20 blacktop and was sitting at a set of lights yesterday then boosted it a little bit (he doesn't drive it very hard) and then when he pulled up at the next set of lights it just about stalled on him twice and was idoling irregular (up and down). Now it doesn't boost and when changing gears at about 2700rpm it backfires.

But then every now and then it idles ok.

What the?????

check plugs, coils, actuator lines, and inlet/return pipes for the bov.

edit, may aswell go ahead and check all the pipe joins after the turbo, just get a spray bottle full of water and go along the piping.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
