Rb25: Sudden Illness

Hi all,

Tonight I was driving my 1996 gtst, with fmic, 3" exhaust, Bosch 040 fuel pump, stock turbo, stock ecu, 10psi... and as I was turning into a corner and feathering the throttle back on softly, the engine hesitated (exactly the same as it did back when the AFM was playing up, like a complete throw-you-over-the-steering-wheel cut-out in gear hesitation) before dying completely. On starting it up again, it hunts around very roughly at idle, won't allow revs over 2krpm and as soon as I put load on it in 1st gear, the engine dies. If I hold the throttle at 20%, it hunts around as it does at idle but intermittently revs up (like a quick to-the-floor depress on the throttle every five seconds) even though the throttle position hasn't changed.

Luckily I was only a couple of hundred meters around the corner from my house so I could limp it home with persistent revving + quick soft blips with the clutch to keep it rolling...

Although my suspicion lies with the AFM (which had given me grief a couple of months but was fixed by re-soldering the plug), I was wondering if anyone might have had a similar problem or might know what would suddenly cause this?

Thanks in advance

first time i tuned my car on 30psi, everything was fine on dyno...

took it to the street and was boosting in third gear, cooler pipe come off.. it was soo violent i thought i destroyed the engine lol

it serously felt like something left the engine bay and went under the car, like engine parts etc etc i was very happy to see the cooler pipe off when i went to inspect the damage :)

Do not worry about it, its a common thing. Here in Georgia I see all kinds of dodgy cooler piping that break and leak which can make tuning a nightmare at times

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
