I know this could be 1 of 1000 things.

but i was wondering if someone could point me in the right directions as to sort this issue!

Basically, the car has not really been driven for a long time. Finally iv got the car back on the road. changed plugs and oil and filter. Took it for a drive and it was running fine. Til i started to roll on the boost, it was as if it was ignition cutting(like on the rev limiter would. just my description of the issue)and when i backed off it started to back fire big, i guess burning the unburnt fuel.

im gonna start with the igniter module, check a few sensors and the grounding.

i was told it may possible be a dud injector leaking internally into the rail then into that cylinder once backed off??? i didnt really understand the description properly that i was given on this

any help would be greatly appreciated!! cheers guys

coils are around 35g km's old and are split fires. i will check them but iv been told they should be fine. but ill still check of tracking marks etc...

the car was off the road, 1, i lost my license 2, i blew a stock intercooler hose and was waiting for replacement and 3, the clutch was starting to slip once it had warmed up so i wasnt using it. No mods or anything

Very Similar situation,

Car was offroad for a long period (although regularly run) and now starts to splutter and misfire at approximately 4500RPM (boost) Have changed plugs and check the splitfires (which are quite new around 10000km old)

Any suggestions ?

Are the plugs old? Could have been sitting in oil/fuel/water all that time for whatever reason fouling them. Though if it was oil or water you probably have bigger issues, possible a very very small leak could have covered them in that time though. Also if it was very hard to start first time you could have fouled them running rich.

Definitely sounds like a spark issue, I'd look at new properly gapped (0.8mm) plugs first, if the coils are new this shouldn't be an issue, next is is there water in the valley? condensation on any of the ignition components?

edit: If the intercooler hose blew it probably ran rich as shit fouling the plugs. The other thing is are you sure you fixed it properly? As a boost leak causes similar symptoms, stalling, missing, blowing dickloads of black smoke when going on to boost.

since you just changed the spark plugs and now have this issue that's where I'd be looking. check they are the correct type and heat range and that they are gapped appropriately for your set-up.

Hey guys, Sorry to drag this back up,

Have checked the following and it is still blowing out spark albeit at around 5500 now rather then 4500

Splitfires

Ignitor

plugs, changed AND gapped

removed and cleaned AFM and tightened all plugs (voltages all read correct)

Removed inlet piping and re-tightened hose clamps (helped somewhat) still wont run more then 0.5 bar though.

What about gaskets on the turbo compressor outlets to twin turbo pipe, these two are a bit suspect.

any ideas boys ?

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree.
