Hey guys n gals

any help on this would be very much appreciated :(

car is a 1996 s2 R33 gtst... its got a haltech E11V2, full exhaust, upg turbo, pod, cai, fmic, bov, 700cc injectors (i think), boost controller etc etc etc

it all started when it was runnin very rich, i mean u could light the oil on fire it was that rich lol... so i was like ok ill take it for a tune

tune went good started out at 143 rwkw! n went to 330 rwkw :) as well as fixing a few other probs... 2 days later car starts missing under all loads again! only thing i could see wrong was a few wires left near the turbo / exhaust were melted (O2 sensor, boost solenoid, air flow sensor) as the exhaust was runnin much hotter... i thought maybe it retarded the tune as its a haltech lol n took it back for a re-tune, n to move those wires

got the car back, all was well, 2 days later plugs are crapped again!!!!!! :) ... only thing i can think of is the injectors are rooted??? plugs in it were NGK BKR6E gapped .8mm... i was thinking going heat range 5??? burn abit of that crap off them???

Dont use heat range 5 if your making 330 rwkw, that plug will run far too hot. You want at least heat range 6 or maybe 7 depending on how you drive.

Also have you upgraded your coils? or are you using the factory ones?

What do the plugs look like i.e. black, white, oily etc

Cheers

i actually just read that off the NGK website lol... might just stick with 6 then lol :)

coils are still stockies, thing is it runs fine for a few days then craps up again so didnt think it would be those

Hey mate,

ive had very similar missfire issues to you, using the same plug and yeh... 1-2 days and they get shitty..

I now use NGK BCPR6ES.. honestly... never looked back, car is perfect up until about 10,000kms and then replace when I notice a little bit of spluttering, but its still no where near as bad as those BKR6E's....

Also, u know, normal things... check all coil packs for cracks, make sure u have the right tension for the plugs etc etc...

hope this helps.

Adam

found out what was wrong with the car lol

well the injectors were all pulled out n they turned out 2 be BA ford falcon injectors :D lol wtf

the sandwhich plate had been modified to fit these stupid top mount injectors into the side of the rb25, the wiring harness wasnt soldered anywhere n the wires just fell outta the injectors when they were pulled out lol... not to mention the injectors were full of sh1t

so gunna get the wiring harness all re-done, a nissan fuel rail with sard injectors n have to replace the sandwhich plate or whateva grrr

when the last owner finished all this genius work they forgot to tighten the bottom intake bolts! so they were all loose to! lol

Hate to say it. But that has to make you feel confident about the car holding together with that power. Theres enough direct fit kits out there now not to have to adapt up something that doesnt belong.

If I were you I'd be looking over everything that you know is modified to double check everythings done up correctly/ no leaks etc. Just in case. The Joys of buying a premodified car. You may say money on the mods. But you also have to put up with anything they did that wasn't right.

What base pressure are you running? I ask because BA Ford 6 (incl' XR6T) injectors are only 295cc and for you to be making 330rwkw on 6x296cc injectors would make for an interesting duty cycle figure.

Also BA 6 cyl'r injectors are 14mm injectors so make sure that you order the correct SARDs as most of them are 11mm. I would look as running the same style as the BA 6cyl'r injectors but just larger and from someone like Bosch, from what i have been reading about the new style injectors there are some very good ones out there especially in high impedance.

Have a look here at the 610cc Siemens Deka ones;

He means fuel rail pressure.

If they were 650 - 700cc I'd be expecting near stock fuel rail pressure

  • 2 weeks later...

hey guys... got the car all fixed up... well to an extent lol

put sum blitz 850cc injectors in with a nissan standard fuel rail, also had all the wiring harness fixed up from the previous injectors

the ecu also had a short circuit n some corruption, which was fixed up by haltec

after all this it was tuned n all went well

however now its bout 5 days after gettin it back n i think the car has fouled the plugs that i put in 3 days ago!!! :) gahhhhh

could it possibly be wrong gapping / heatrange of plugs??? or coil packs screwing it up??? as its the only thing other than ecu i can think of :(

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
