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!

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
