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!

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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.
