ok so here it goes, car is series 2 r33 DE+T, with mods in my signature,

took car for a dyno run to make sure afr's and ping was under control after getting a remap, didn't finish the dyno run as the coil packs were giving up and the car was breaking down...

car ran good after that jst misfiring a bit underload,

next day start the car and it sounded like a wrx, shuddering on idle, very lumpy,

i have read about this problem occuring when the coil packs are gone,

so i wanted to limit the problem to which coil it could be so i can get a second hand one till i get splitfires or JJR ones,

i took the cover off and connected everything back together, started disconnecting coils to see if there is any change in the engine noise or exhaust note

i did it to all 6, when i did it to coil 1 and 3 there was no change in engine noise or exhaust note, so i thought it could be these coil packs

changed the coils around with another two, and did the same test and still the same thing on 1 and 3

so im asking, what could be the problem, is it an injector problem, how can i check which injector is faulty, could it be a coil lead problem? or is my engine F#$$D

and btw just changed the spark plugs to BCPR7ES 0.8 gap, same day as dyno,

could it be a spark plug issue, might take them out tomorrow and have a look, what should i look out for?

compression test might be the last thing i do if nuthing else comes up,

any other opinions,

thanks

yes a faulty injector could cause a simillar problem.

but before we try and start to come to all sorts of conclusions....

firstly, were sure the Ignition leads are plugged in properly in sequence?

secondly, by any chance...did you wash your engine bay after the mods or overhaul?

ive had a same problem in my TT supra...i washed the motor and water got into where the spark plug sits...and caused WRX sounds....

ye they all plugged in correctly, you cant really stuff the order up, its a no brainer as they only have so much wire running out of them,

nah haven't washed the motor,

pretty sure i have read that the only other thing it could be is injectors leaking or something, anyone know how to test injectors without taking them out,

I just had the exact same problem with my RB25DET and it ended up being a mix of shagged fuel pump not holding pressure and blocked injectors.... Pressure test ur pump 1st. It might flow ok but pressure test it to.U might find the electrodes on ur plugs have turned white from it running very lean under load. Also wouldnt hurt to check ur fuel pressure regulator to see if the diaphram hasnt broke.

take all the plugs out, unplug injector loom and crank the motor, if it's an o-ring you'll soon know!

so basically, take all plugs out, unplug the coil packs as they may spark, and unplug the injector loom,

and i'm guessing i watch out for petrol in cylinder 1 and 3, and it would mean that injectors are f*ked, as they are leaking,

will give this a go tomorrow,

and then clean out the petrol with a rag,

correct so far?

thanks man

the pump is a bosch 023 from ebay, how do i pressure test the pump?

thanks

will need to unplug coil packs to remove them, and if it's a leaking injector fuel should come out from the spark plug holes,

had this happen to fellow members car not long ago, was a cracked o-ring

have your injectors been touched at all?

Mine was a bosch 040 from ebay, a ford dealer in melb actually but bought on ebay. I dont know exactly how to pressure test it coz I didnt do it but I would think maybe putting a Fuel pressure guage after the fuel pressure reg, or just b4 it after the fuel filter and priming the pump with the ignition on???? Please if thats wrong someone say so b4 he does it.

New fuel pump, pressure reg and cleaned injectors and my car doesnt miss a beat on all 6 cylinders and goes a little better than ever.

the injectors haven't been touched since the conversion,

il try the injectors first, and then get more info on testing the fuel pump, all i can say is that i can hear the fuel pump priming nice n loud and got it installed at a reputable shop..

Just to add my pump was installed by Pro Maz in Melb and It was priming and flowing fine but was failing under pressure. Just because u can hear it and it flows ok in a flow test it doesnt mean it's holding pressure. Check everything in the fuel system u possibly can I'll link you to my thread, I went into a fair bit of detail of what happened and what was tried/suggested. Might be able to help u out a little.

My car ended up having quite a few issues with it but the main problems that stopped it running were blocked injectors, fuel pump let go, hole in the diaphram in then fuel pressure regulator.

ok so in the last few days i have changed

injectors with the whole rail for another set of second hand ones,,, and no change

coilpacks with another set of second hand ones.. bought them from another member and told they were good nick... and still no change

what are my other options... thanks

nah no compression test yet... i dont want to find out bad news lol...

il check my spark plugs tomorrow to see if they are in good nick, but i just changed them like last week..

il see a few mechanics that are open for some ideas... maybe go to status if they are open

if the car was running very rich like 9:1 or 10:1 could this f**k up one or two of my sparkplugs.. and therefore caus the car to run so shyt..

caus i changed the sparkplugs and put it on a dyno... there was a leak in the cooler piping and it was running very rich... fixed that then the coilpacks were breaking down and didnt have a proper power run... just a thought... we shall find out tomorrow...

Is it an Ecu issue ?

you were on the ball man,

took it to Trent at Status today and he had a quick look and told me to swap it with the NA ecu to see if idols properly,

and to my amazement it did, afterall it was just an ecu problem, the coil on cylinder 1 and 3 were not working, but with the NA ecu they are

now just a matter of getting another turbo ecu with the remap from toshi

thanks to everyone with their suggestions

never crossed my mind it would be an ecu issue

getting splitfires and back on dyno soon

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
