Hello all,

New to this forum and I have searched and found similar problems but the fixes didnt seem to work. 1990 R32, set of cams and exhaust and splitfires. The car ran fine and now all of a sudden it wont rev past 3k rpms, spits out black smoke and runs pig rich. We have switched out the maf's with known working ones and the same problems persisted. Switched out the split fires and plugs with known working ones and new plugs but still got the same problems. Cleaned out the cat, found a chunk of wood in there (dont ask I have no idea) and the car still has the same problems. I dont have allot of experience with rb problems so i thought i would chime in to the experts to see if maybe im over looking some things or if there is a different area i should be interested. If any more info is needed just let me know. Thanks in advance.

possible cam belt slippage?

didnt see any of that either. when i say she runs rich, there is pig rich and then there is what she is doing. smells like you just dumped gas from the pump. smoke could be from kerosene soaked turbos but thats been a while back that should have stopped by now.

I'm currently encountering a similar problem on my R33.

Check out this tut. I'll be trying it tomorrow.

Also worth rebooting the ECU after you're done.

We replace both of them with known working ones off of another 32 that was running 5min's prior to swapping them out.

I had similar problem in my 32 gtst, wouldn't rev over 3500rpm. Turns out my fuel tank had rust in it changed pump n tank to gtr one and fixed the problem. So check your fuel tank incase it has rust or gunk in it.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
