So i've had this a few times now, most recently the last couple of days. S2 R33 rb25det automatique', mostly stock- fmic, exhaust, 3deg retard on cam gear, iridium plugs in whatever stock range is, 6 or something,& tomei fuel pump. Not really been driving the car at all except to and from work in peak hour for the last week, alot of idling time and light throttle. Car started running and idling like ass, coughing/spluttering like it had lung-aids or something. Boost gauge drops from idling around -81 to -65 whenever this happens. I'm madly checking for vac leaks, misfiring coils, faulty cas, afm, oxy etc, can't find anything. So I take it out and cain the crap out of it tonight with a few full throttle runs and basically giving it a bit on an extended drive, and what do you know, back to pulling -81 at idle and running much better.I'm putting it down to fouled plugs or maybe injectors overdue for a clean....So this is what the rb25's love, a good bit of throttle, none of this touchy feely treat me gently shite?

They love it in and around their intake

that would explain the....buildup...... that i've seen in the intake manifold

my guess is you were driving it like a nancy boy and the car was rejecting you
I treat my cars like I treat your mum...get inside her twice a day and take her to heaven and hell and back..

oh man....it's obviously not impressing your car, check the light on the ecu, it'll be flashing pink, which is the nancy fault

i have got nearly same issue but car turns off when on idle like as soon as i push the clutch this happens when hot, i have friends saying injectors need a clean and new spark plugs because they would be rot from too much heat because of the injectors that are stuffed car sounding like shit atm. i drive the like pretty much like nancy boy every day but give it a flog once in a while lolz but no time to take it out but it couldnt be because of that?

if you hit the shit out of your turbo with a cane at least 3 times a week it'll make the motor stronger and might even net you some kw

Im guessing thats an asian father type encouragement

*hit him with book to make him smarter*

*whip him with caine like animal to make him faster*

I understand.

atmo blow off valve is your trouble buddy

when i was a kid in school, id ask my asian friends why they flog me in the maths tests

they said coz their dads would flog them with the maths text book if they didnt

aint no dictionary big enough to have fixed that test tho, fkrs.

so anyway back on T for this mofo. So the next day car was running like shite again...pulled the plugs and no signs of fouling, in fact some might say a little toooo clean. Gave it the ol' rev-ism a bit more and all good so I have NFI. Anyway have dude coming to clean injectors so will see if that makes sweet f/a difference.

i fixed my car turning off issue and it was the coilpack harness now it just sounds like shit car all shakeing and stuff please let me know if it ur injectors because i will also get mien clean but i think i got exhaust leaks i think i should fix that o2 sensor off the cat first, so if your injector clean dont work try a different coil pack harness, i only noticed because car seemed like it was searching for something like you hear slight rev change on idle, after the coilpack harness change i havent got that issue and it doesnt shut off on me no more :D

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
