hey guys i am in need of help!!!

my situation is, put an rb20det in to my r31 skyline, started it all ok, once everything was done and ready to drive still all ok and then about a month into it the car starts running really bad. Looked on the forums for the problems i was having and nothing seemed to work. when car is free reving it seems to miss at about 3000RPM and when under load and about to come on boost the car seams like it stops and picks up again. But some times the car runs as if nothings wrong but most of the time runs like crap.

things i have done and checked:

replaced plugs

checked coils and replaced as they looked stuffed. the ones that i put in were from an rb20 but they were spring type and the ones that were on the car were a pin type. would they still work fine??

checked cas and timing all ok.

was just wondering could a stuffed AFM cause this sort of a problem??

any help would be much appriciated.

main things:

coil packs, injectors/plugs

AFM

CAS

O2 sensor

and your wiring/ecu open ecu and check for burnt tracks

because my friend Andwoo put in his rb20 in his s13 and had the same problems...

also check Voltage when car is running

is your car running atmo bov? or returne...

cheers mate i have changes plugs, coilpacks, checked timing with timing light but didnt check CAS! if timing is ok can CAS still be f**ked? i also tried another ECU was does the O2 sensor do? i didnt think that would affect it!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
