Hi there all, New to the site. I currently have a problem with my Series 1 gtst with a series 2 Rb25DET. It runs fine when cold but when it gets warmer it tends to feel as if its restricting somewhere.

Ive checked the CAS, Injectors, Computer, Spark plugs.

Im really stuck on this problem the only thing i have not done of the above is replace the Crank angle sensor( Altho it looks phyisically fine) which ill be giving a shot on monday, If anyone is able to lend a hand it would be very much appreaciated. Thanks jamie.

alright well first no one can really help much as that could be from anything,

what has been done to the car, ie aftermarket parts, have you done a tune up at all in the past while like spark plugs , fuel filter ect ect.

we need more info and how long has it been happening for.

tell us everything !! :cool:

What do u mean by restricting?

When does it feel like its restricting? (Revs/speed/boost)

Umm maybe your coilpacks but yeah I dunno jut give as much info as possible and someone on here should be able to sort it out :cool:

What sort of spark plugs does it have/did u replace them with?

does it splutter and stall? or just feel like it's asthmatic? . a few things for you to change imo would be the water temp sensor to the ecu , then the air sensor thingy on the exhaust that i can't remember the name of :cool: , clean the afm out with co cleaner , check fuel pressure (actually, do that first ) , change fuel filter . ;)

Thanks for the replys guys, Ive also had the coilpacks checked and apprently are fine which is leading me to the CAS, It Defiently increases the problem when i run higher boost, The revs drop but not to stalling point normally sits about 1000rpm, Random drops to 500 on idle. Im thinking the CAS is internally damaged..

Aftermarket parts are the following:

3" Turboback Trust exhaust.

Turbo smart boost controller.

Power FC.

Garret GT30 turbo.

Bigger injectors.

Front mount intercooler.

Spitfire coilpacks.

Nismo Diff.

The restricting defiently feels like fuel/spark. Altho ive been told by the dyno results what is happening is my injectors are all switching off for like a milisecond, So im thinking earth/wiring problem Or Crank angle sensor =/

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
