Help Pls, R33 Misfiring After Fmic Installation

Hi all, need some troubleshooting help from you guys.

As the title states, after I installed my front mount intercooler, I get misfiring from 5500 rpm - 6500 rpm. I don't think this is an issue with the coilpacks / spark plugs as prior to using the fmic, I had no issues with misfiring.

My mods are: a pod filter, 3inch turbo back exhaust, with a bellmouth dump pipe, and of course the fmic.

Running a standard computer without a boost controller. Car runs at 9.5 - 10psi at peak boost.

Someone please point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

Thanks and cheers!

i would also suggest not to flog the daylight out of your atm.....RB25DET ecu's are self learning ECU's so it takes about 500-1000kms before it sorts itself out....so just drive it normally and also since you have a FMIC you may need to regap the spark plugs to 0.8mm.....also check if there is a slight leak anywhere....as that could also cause some issues....check all your fittings, vaccum lines etc and how is your stock boost controller fitted up???

hope that helps and goodluck mate

the good ol R & R, need a piggy back or aftermarket computer.

the search button is your friend

highly doubt it will be R & R as his boost isn't high enough, and it usually happens lower in the rev range.

i would say that it is a spark plug or coil pack issue. before you put the fmic on it would've been fine, but now that you are getting colder, more dense air into the cylinders it takes more energy to ignite the fuel, and the spark plugs/coils aren't coping. if you aren't running 0.8mm plugs i would try that first. if you are, how old are they? might be worth getting new ones if they are over 10,000kms old. if the plugs are 0.8mm and not very old, try cleaing the contact points of the coils (where the coil meets the spark plug) and also try taping them up.

and to add to that list. if you have series 1 coils, they have springs in them. when you get the coils out, remove the springs, and stretch them before putting them back in. it helps make better contact with the spark plug.

you are probably seeing more boost now than before the fmic install. its common. hence the extra boost + weak spark = misfire.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I will try troubleshooting with what you guys have suggested.

Pal mentioned that it could be hitting R & R but Mad082 suggests that it issn't.

Can anyone confirm if R & R is a possibility or not. So that I can strike that off my list.

But yea, thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys, appreciated.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
