Hi guys i'm having some Issues wif my line.

First of all i was driving it along one day and it was fine. Then next time i drove and started it up

a lot of black smoke came out and it was running really rich and idle was was not very good. If you rev it would go

down instead of going up. It's not drivable as it would splutter and chugga chugga chugga Big Red Car... hehe..

Sounds like it's got really Lumpy Cams and is dropping out. I cleaned out the plugs and tested all my splitfire coilpacks and they are fine.

Not sure what it is though..

Mod list are

PowerFC

2530 .84 A/R Hi Flow spec Turbo

Stock AFM

Stock Injectors

Bosch 910 Pump

HKS EVC 5

Hmm that is all i can think of that it's important.

I don't understand it all as it was running perfectly and now it's...

If you have a d-jerto PFC then the afm wouldn't affect the idle like that, but if its not then yeah sounds like the afm, just give it a spray with some contact cleaner, and if that doesnt help then yeah ask another member to borrow theirs to help diagnose the problem, i wont mind you using mine just im not able to get back till wednesday, but give that a try to start with

i dont think powerfc has limb mode that prob why it stalled with the afm unplugged. just try borrow another rb25 afm. also did you put the filter back on when you cleaned out the afm. afm dont like it when there isnt a filter.

Ok Update... it seem to have gotten worse.. it's running on 2 cylinders now..

doesn't make sense how i'd lose 4 cylinders all of a sudden...

Goin 2 possibly check the loom for the Coilpacks.. if i do have to replace it?? how much do u reckon it will cost?

Gonna possibly tow it to the workshop that installed my new turbo 1 week ago so they can do further diagnostic...

Ok another Update.. Replaced all the Plugs and it's running on all 6 cylinders again..

still idling rough and lots of black smoke n running rich.. i guess it fouled the plugs pretty quickly running rich??

Goin 2 burrow off an AFM from a friend and see how that works..

Do u guys know th resistance value readings of the AFM on it's 3 pins?

I'm gonna use a Multimeter and check the readings..

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
