hey all have a rb20det in my r32 gtst following mods

fmic

plazmaman plenum

bosch 040 intank

450cc power flow injectors with gtr resister pack

r33 turbs @ 14psi

power fc with hand controller

boost controller

now my problem is at idle it has a slight miss like a popping noise from the zaust and say i rev it to a certian revs and hold it there it does the same thing but if i turn the a/c on it runs smooth as

i have tried the following things off a friends car such as

cas

ignition module

coil packs and loom

tps

and have jus put new plugs in but isn't any different and they are gapped to 0.8 ngk v power plugs

now with the tps on the power fc it dosen't show a reading like its 0.00 all the time and now and then it will have a slight flick of power like 0.03 or sumthin random like that and my engine light is on all the time and on the power fc the tps voltage reading is highlighted but i did try the tps off my friends car and it done the same thing also have checked for air leaks and stuff like that aswell and is all good

so would the tps cause the slight missfire that im having cos it the only thing i can think of

have already search in the search button heaps but there is no answer to my problem

your help would be great thanks

very strange mate, i have the same mods but have gtr injectors and a much worse miss fire which im working on fixing at the moment. when i get the car back together ill get the data from the PFC and post it. it might help.

so when did you get the miss? after the injectors? whats it like with the stock ecu? does its start?. mine didnt so i can only test with PFC. i know the valve under the throttle body works when the ac is on maybe thats a good place to start?

let me know how you go and get the info back to me. maybe we can fix each others issues. where are you located?

good luck

yeah well i first put the injectors in and it was obviosly runnin rich but drove to the tuner got it fully tuned and it was all sweet made 258hp atw and the tune was all good anyway after that it had a slight miss and my tuner jus said that it was probly jus fouled plugs so i replaced them and that same day the engine light came on aswell also the other nite i went for a drive once at operating temp and i turn the car off it wouldnt start at all til i waited it to cool down a bit

i have an rb20det in my S12 Gazelle... and i had the same issue after installing my front facing plenum... turns out i hadn't taken enough care when extending the wiring for the tps (as the tps sits in a much different position to standard) and the shielding wire around one of my tps wires was actually touching the internal conductor of that wire where i had cut it to extend it!

perhalps check that out, especially because your power fc has highlighted the tps

rito had a look at my tps wiring and one of the wires from the plug joins into the coolent temp sensor thats was sumtin that i haven't checked could this be a cause of the slight miss fire at idle cos the thing is when i very first start it it runs fine but then not long after that it will have the problem and also once i take it for a drive and gets to normal temps and i turn it off again it has trouble starting?

any ideas people?

dude..... try gap ur spark plugs closer.... even if you go into a store and say i need spark plugs for rb20det they still aren't gapped close enough..... i had the same problem and all i did is gap them closer... since then no worries.... theres a topic on here that tells you the measurements...... also turn you boost down as 14psi will destroy the turbo... they are not that strong...... keep it about 11-12psi to be safe...

catch hope it works for ya

I have similar mods on my 32, Not sure about the miss on idle.... what heat range plugs are you running? try a z32afm. I had bad missfire on boost so I bought new plugs gapped them to 0.08 and cleaned every part of the coil packs and now it never misses a beat on 14psi.

maybe one of ur injectors is a lil dirty? run some octane boost n clean through it and see what happens

Im sure 14 psi is a bit too much for a stock 33 turbo id go 12 max

cheers

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
