hey, i got a problem with my rb20det when you are about to come on full boost it starts missing and not running right, and from a stand still when u put the foot down it dose the same thing, starts missing, but if u ease the power on gently and stay under 3k it is happy and runs fine??? can anyone help

Superspark igniter

Check for cracks in coilpacks

Check plugs/connections

Clean afm 

Check cooler piping

02 sencer

Fuel pump

Leaking injector

Crank angle sensor

Fuel filter

Just to name a few.

What mods do u have?

And if you search thru the forum this has been covered before,

Cheers - trent

ok ive changed the plugs, inspected the coilpacks, tightened all the hoses, i just had the 02 sencer wired up by a shop so hopefully that was done right, injectors dont seem to be leaking............ how do u know if the fuel pump is not working? and not sure about where the afm is? and yer i have looked through the forms just cant find anythink thats like mine...

The afm is inbetween the turbo and the pod/airbox

You can buy afm cleaner or cleaner specifically for electronics from autobahn/supercheap and the like,

Not to sure about the fuel pump, I know when mine was on the way out it was whigning and carrying on,

Sometimes u can't see the cracks in the coilplacks, either wrap them in good quality electrical tape or a better option is heatproof silicon.hope this helps

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
