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!

the car is running standard plumb back BOV for roady ill check the voltage too!

      I neglected to respond to this previously. Get it up to 100 psi, and then you'll be OK.

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
