Oh hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble with my motor vehicle atm and im needing help...Here are the details of my vehicle:

R32 GTST

Rb25neo det (original turbo, ecu, etc.)

Rb25 gearbox (R33 box)

Random fuel pressure reg.

Boost t-piece

Bosch 400hp fuel pump + surge tank

aftermarket intercooler + piping

Heres the problem,

The car idles fine, sounds perfect, feels perfect. revs fine no worries standing still. When i drive its fine, until i hit about 2-3psi of boost. at this stage the engine starts to missfire like a tard. If i keep flooring it and manage to push to 5-6psi the engine stalls.

Things i've done to try and fix the problem:

Upgraded my fuel pump to the bosch 400 hp, originally thought there wasnt enough fuel getting to the engine. After installation problem got worse. I bought new spark plugs and made sure they were the correct gap. no change. Rreplaced all the rubber pipe connectors for the intercooler pipes as they were old and some had holes. Problem is stil aparent although now i have a sweet dose sound >_< ...checked all my vac hoses and such...ive visually inspected coil plugs and found no signs of cracking or burns from arcing out but will check tomorrow propperly...

other random problem:

When i first drove the car with the new engine in, i noticed the wastegate to the turbo was opening straight away. ??? i borrowed my mates t piece to combat this??? maybe this has something to do with the problem im not sure...

I would really appreciate advise as im sick and tired of seeing my car on the side of the road...WANT TO CRUISE!!!

Thanks, Edward

it sounds like its leaking un-metered air in somewhere...

if you take the vac line off the pre intercooler pipe (just after it leave turbo ill c it..)

stick a normal size can of tomatoes or sumthing in your intake... tighten it up air tight.

pump up the nipple with a bike pump to what boost your running... let it sit there for a bit, it shouldn't leak at all.

alternatively, ur really chasing a leak i believe... so wack a bit of pressure in it.. and listen out... if your finding it heaps hard to find a little trick is to use a hose, and put one end to your ear, other end to what ur listening to... will amplify the sound...

obviously do this after checking all the usual clamps afm is bolted up nice etc etc...

I had a similar problem with mine when I installed an aftermarket fuel pump & wound the boost up, turns out the std injectors were bein pushed too hard with larger than normal fuel pressure & were in-effective at giving a proper spray pattern at low rpms but would come fine once the motor started to rev to.

Dont know if that helps or not

To fix it I got a Nistune-new injectors(660cc), changed fuel pump from Walbro to a Nismo pump, added a Sard FPR, changed plugs to copper & gapped the plugs to 0.7mm

Changing pumps does not affect the pressure at the fuel rail as that is governed by the fuel pressure regulator (hence its' name).. UNLESS the old pump had inadequate pressure and the ECU was tuned around this.. then by fitting a properly operating pump the fuel pressure goes back up to what it should be but because the ECU was tuned around the old pump, there is suddenly a lot more fuel going in.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
