hey guys, i have an r32 rb20det, all standard apart from exhaust and fmic, i have recently gained a miss. it is running standard boost and when boost kicks in it starts to miss and backfire a little.

i thought it was the plugs so i replaced them with some new ngk bcpr6es and most of the miss went away but it was still missing a little and after about 100km's of driving its back to the way it was.

could it be the coils, timing or dirty injectors?

any help would be much appreciated!

thanks,

Tim

Coils or coil harness for $500 thanks.

*tick-tock-tick-tock*

Also not sure if the BCPR's are helping or not.. the R's are the resistor type plugs, I run BCP6ES (non-resistor type).

It'll be your coil packs more then likely. I had a similar issue on my hr31 (rb20). I would check you plug gap first though, it makes a big difference if you have to big a plug gap.

I bought some new plugs that were a 0.8mm gap and I also used high temp silocone around the coilpacks to seal any cracks and the problem went completely.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
