The car back fires a bit now, is this a common thing?

Not sure if its related to the rear muffler or tune related. Its like its throwing out unburnt fuel on deceleration. Its extremely loud

What ecu are u using?

Its a Wolf 3D V4, and a turbosmart raceport atmo BOV was put on with the rest of the gear.

Its only back firing in the lower revs driving normally around town, it doesn't cough or blow flames on WOT

It doesnt run an AFM its a MAP sensor setup

I've heard the japs don't even use AFR they just use exhaust temp and go rich as hell and smash the timing into the motors.

This is good. Engines out of cars should be able to be used in boats...... and held flat for a day or 2.....

They live long and happy lives then.

Wow, ile show you a pic of my SR20's piston when I tuned it to 12.5:1, half the side of the piston melted lol was at 18pound though. I'd never tune above 12:1 now.

what is your peak timing @18psi? what where the egts?

The difference between 2 degrees of timing to effect detonation is as much as going from 12.6:1 A/F ratio to 12.0:1 (or 12.0:1 to 11.4:1).

I found something similar in practice, on a hot day with my old tune 3rd gear ~18psi rattled like crazy, could hear the det without knock ears, a minute later 2 degrees out of peak torque and we could idle the car for 10 minutes getting the coolant >85c and it still wouldn't ping in 3rd even listening on the ears.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
