Hey guys.. Just finished +ting an rb20de. As a de the motor was a good, strong, powerful motor.

I used:

RB20DET Manifold, Wastegate flange welded on.

RB20DET turbo

RB20DET j pipe

FMIC setup

Walbro 500hp Fuel Pump

Fuel Pressure Regulator

RB20DET ECU and Injectors

Adjusted timing all over the show..

Now when it is warm, and I go for it in second it boost and pulls fine, (4 psi spring)

As soon as I dump the clutch and sit on the spot doing a skid it 'farts and pops' around 4.5k - 5k revs.

But then boosting in a straight line it builds boost and pulls fine.

Anyone have any clues? Kinda feel as if its getting to much fuel, anyone know what the fuel pressure should be at at idle?

Tried to do a search, nothing came up.

Cheers

get new coils, and fix the fuel as well, stock map will being running 9-10:1 at that load if you are running more than stock boost, also plug gap, get it down to 0.8 or lower.

It will be a combination of running too rich and poor spark causing the misfire.

If it didn't he would have had to change it to make it run.

What do you mean? :huh: Or are you saying it wouldn't run at all so he changed it already.

The AFM wasn't listed as what he used/changed so I am assuming he is using the stock NA one, hence I asked if they're the same or not.

I've had a Z32 plugged into a car with the PowerFC reset and AFM set to default and it still started

If it was different it wouldn't drive at all or would drive so badly he would have noticed by now. Wouldn't just be a mild misfire, tune would be completely out.

So knowing that I would say it is A) not different, or B) he has already changed it.

Cheers for the input. FYI all RB AFMS are the same, apart from I think RB25DET which has the purple sticker

Anyway, with the same setup above the problem has fixed itself. Adjusted timing even more, and running a 7psi spring, and adjusted the Fuel Pressure down a little it is flipping quick. feels faster than a genuine 20det. Cheers!

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
