Elimination.

Say it's cyl #2

Swap the coil pack between #1 and #2 and see if the fault follows the coil pack. New coils can be faulty too.

If it doesn't, remove coil number 2 from its mounted position, put in any spark plug, earth the body with a jumper lead, disconnect injector number 2 (so you dont foul the existing plug) and start the motor. Identify if you have spark.

If you do have spark, the injector could be faulty or the wiring to the injector could be faulty.

If you do have spark, and the injector is firing, check the compression of the cylinder when the engine is cold and hot.

Narrow the fault down and come back with your results.

does it have any problem when cold? How many Km's has the car done? Like it is hitting the limiter? My car had a similar problem at one point around 40 000km mark. When accelerating hard it would be like it hit limiter and the tacho would sometimes jump around like crazy even at 3000rpm, it would also miss and carry on when hot, sometimes when cold anyway after about a month of trying to figure it out a light came on the dash i took it into work and got it put on the nissan consult, i had a code for the O2 senor (which has main effect when car is hot) so i replaced it and problem fixed. In short your problem maybe the O2 sensor starting to fail? maybe?? just a suggestion hope it helps

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
