i've got an odd miss fire...

i've got a HR31 with an rb25, rb25 loom, powerfc and z32 afm.

over the past few days the missing has gotten worse, it happens more often in low rpm/cruising speeds (~2-3000rpm in third/fourth) but then if i drop back a gear or too and accelerate, 99% of the time its fine (might have the odd miss here or there) but it sounds like its running on 5 cylinders.

i've tried new plugs gapped to 0.8mm, still missed, so i took them out, cleaned them and gapped them to 0.6mm, still exactly the same.

after that i took out the AFM, it looked a little bit oily so i sprayed it with some wax and grease remover.

i also wrapped the coils with electrical tape, and put on a new air filter.

it seemed to get a little bit better after that, but is still there.

should i clean the AFM with something else?

i have a set of RB26 coils here i'm going to try, but being a low rpm miss i'm not too confident.

had the injectors cleaned, flow tested and new o-rings, didn't fix it.

it only happens once the car gets warm, and it's more often now, and across most of the rev range.

if we unplug coil pack on cylinder 1, and 4 the idle doesnt seem to change, i've rotated coil packs around and it still does it..

any more idea's?

Do a compression test on all 6 cylinders and give us the results then we can help you alot more.

try swapping it with another ecu, 2 minute job,

my car was running on 4 cylinders, 1+3 were not firing, it wasn't the coil packs or injectors

i swapped it with another ecu and fixed my problems,

worth a try

had a compression test done last week, came up fine.

160, 160, 160, 155, 155, 165

stock ecu won't work too well, i've got a Z32 AFM and 740cc injectors

might try checking the earths...

tried new splitfires + loom + ignitor today, no difference.

unplugged coil packs, and its now cylinder 3 that is missing, so i swapped injector 1 and 3, and 1 misses..

so it seems like a dud injector..

i'm not sure how they go about cleaning/flow testing them.. but i think my injector is forked at low voltage, but seems to work fine at higher voltage (i'm guessing they just give them full voltage to check flow)

getting a set of stock injectors soonish to test.... anyone want to sell me ONE nismo 740cc side feed injector for a 25? :thumbsup:

Silicone up the bottom of the coils. the tape may not be doing the job.

the bottom of the coils? when i took mine out the other day the previous owner had taped up the top of the coil packs, then i taped up the other 3 that weren't taped and it doesn't miss a beat at high rpm now whereas it did before.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
