Spitting at 3500 rpm. :( Leaning towards coil packs or AFM. Other than that the car is running fine. Any thoughts?

Hey Kimbo man it's me, with the GTR from teh other night at Kat's ;) Welcome to forum btw...and the never boring world of the RB's haha

That's quite early in the piece for spitting =/ I'd start by going over everything with a fine-toothed comb - ie every single electrial wire and plug that you can see and the same for all your vaccum/air lines and pipes and hoses. Then I'd start taking things apart like, checking your spark plugs to see if they tell a story (there are some charts for plug discoloration etc)....if this "spitting" feels a bit more like a surge of some sort I'd also check/replace the fuel filter etc.

I have had coil packs go on me but they tended to wear down gradually, only missing in high RPM / high boost and then working their way down the rev range till they fail all together and your car sounds like a WRX ;-)

But yes, a good way to start is with a thorough inspection and cleaning of anything that is a sensor or an electrical connection. It's usually always something stupid like that...and if not, it's always best to start with this as it's the least expensive fix ;)

Hey bud, yeah as soon as I have 5 mins to scratch I will be going over the engine with a fine tooth comb and checking everything. Fingers crossed I can nail the problem. Cheers for all the advice from everyone.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
