R32 Gtst Problem Child

[beemae30]

Yeah thought of that previous. Cleaned the afm and made sure there was minimum amount of oil in the filter. Started this morning fine?? I have no idea.

Get rid of the HKS pod filter while your at it, there not the best

So is it only the problem under load the first few times now?

[pipster11]

Try a different cas?

[beemae30]

Yeah gotta get rid of it. Did have a k&n but it rubbed on the bonnet so think I'll just get an apexi. Yeah once my consult arrives I will check timing on start up. Will try and start this arve to see if starts up straight away like yesterday

[89CAL]

My CAS was weird. Everything seemed fine but I got random knock every now and then and it was making alot of noise. Pulled it out and you could barely spin it. Car has run much nicer with the new CAS. Having said that, the old one never caused any idle issues but if you can borrow another one its something else you can rule out.

Make sure you set base timing and probably do an ecu reset as well

Just a few things...

Everyone of my RB20s (3 in total) all had a wierd surge/hesitation when coming on boost for the first time when cold - I believe one person had found a fix for it... I seem to think it was CEFFIE (or some similar user id - the guy that does the chips for the rb20 ecus)

but once they are warmish - that issue goes away.

Pod filter - I had a blitz pod filter which mounts on to the AFM - on the RB20, this ALWAYS surged and kinda jerked around.

I then used a different pod on an extension pipe and it worked fine.

see here..

Also have awesome sauce box for it..

you can have them cheap cheap if you like.

[beemae30]

Yeah will check first Cal and then I might grab it off ya if it's the CAS. It started perfect yesterday before I drove it to site. So will try this arve and see. Haha I just finished making a box bugger. So nah thanks for the offer though. Will just go a nice apexi power funnel I think nice and stubby.

[89CAL]

I dont have a spare CAS? lol

[TTT]

My point about the filter was having a free flowing pod right against the afm may be causing the issue as air comes in from all directions.

having a slight extension pipe so the air smoothes out before hitting the AFM might help.

Also, if you have the mesh off the front of the AFM (which helps smooth out air flow) it will also cause problems.

ive also got the same cold start issue as you. will idle rough for a few seconds in the morning and struggle to build oil pressure unless i give it a rev. it doesnt have any other sutters or problems and isnt hard to start. its a 33 n/a . hope you find a solution

[beemae30]

Ah sorry haha misread u Cal. Ah I see ur point, I still have the mesh, what price u looking at for the filter/pipe set up?

[Rekin]

Rb20 on stock ecu will feel sluggish until water temp hits 65deg. Baby it until over that temperature. It retards the timing until 65deg. I'll have a look tomorrow morning at the ignition timing value for your own info.

Past week I have been getting rough idle and dropping to the point of nearly stalling. no new mods to cause this change. Cleaned the aac and Iacv and problem still there. I wonder if it could be linked to cold start issue (which I have had prior to this idle issue)

Will clean afm and see if that's fixed at least one problem...

[TTT]

what price u looking at for the filter/pipe set up?

I dunno.. 50 bucks?

I've also got a consult port cable and screen thingy I'd sell..

Might be handy for your trouble shooting

[beemae30]

Yeah rightio sounds good. What's the filter? And nah might grab the cable though how much you want for it?

[TTT]

Not selling the cable seperate to the screen cause then it's of no use.

cables can be bought from here

Not sure on brand of the pod.

Will check tonight for you..

I assume it's just a generic thing.

[beemae30]

Btw does it need the window washer bottle to be removed?

[TTT]

Nah mine is still there..

you know how the AFM point kind of straight upwards, well this pipe bends in a way so that the filter basically sits in a straight line behind the headlight.

The filter is pretty small.

[beemae30]

Awesome.

[beemae30]

Send me a pm bud

[TTT]

Filter is a no name mate.

Nothing on it anywhere.

Let me know if you want it and we'll organise postage etc.
