hey guys my stag seems to be missing at idle and low revs but it only starts after a few mins of driving around (fine in high revs) my first thought was plugs so I got NGK iridiums, that made no difference so then I changed the coil packs to brand new super sparks and again no change, I been searching for ages and a lot of ppl seemed to have had this problem before and it was fixed by changing the coil packs? any help would be appreciated cheers

Splitfire coils.... Had the exact same issue, and it was put down to faulty coils (very common RB problem): cahnged to splitfires and had no issues since... Get a good mech to check your coils and spark plug gaps (mine are gapped way down for high boost), but 9 times out of 10, the standard coils are the problem...

i had this with my 260..

turned out to be a tiny crack in the intake manifold letting the smallest bit of unwanted air in... and an injector o ring doing the same thing...

do a leak down test on it..

(block of the intake holes with can or tomatoes or something and clam it in, and find where u can pump air into the system,

pressurize it to the boost u run and let it sit... it shouldnt idealy loose any pressure...)

once uve done this, get a hose... one end in ur ear.. and move it around to find the hiss.

good luck :)

cool cheers for that I'll give that a go to, I'll make sure to post any results up here for future

had this problem on a aristo single turbo it was the wiring to the coils them self's had broken down with the heat just cut it back as far as you can and re-place and ran fine if you do this make sure you heat rap the joint's

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
