OK, I am new here, I have an rb20det calais. It's not running right, not sure whats wrong with it, but it just needs alot of maintenance.

The problem I had tonight was it would not start. cranked with plenty of power but would not start up. took about 5 minutes of trying and she came to life, drove for about a minute, got through a set of lights and just stopped. What it felt like was all my spark was gone. sat there for another 10 minutes trying to crank it over. it would start up and hover at about 300 rpm and then die. tapping the accelerator would bring it up 100 rpm or so then it would die. it felt as if it was only running on 4 or 5 cylnders. the coils are all good, as are the plugs. just wondering if anyone has had a similiar problem, or may know of something it could be.

These are the other two posts I have started asking for help, I am not expecting you all to read through them both, but I thought I should put them on here so that everyone gets the whole picture.

I unplugged one of the TPS connectors, the connector coming off of the side of the TPS, not the bottom one and it came to life after a couple more attempts. I do not know if it was because I unplugged the TPS or just coincidence.

Any help anybody has would be greatly appreciated. This is my daily driver and having it stalling on me is something that I can not handle.

Thank you all in advance.

Kind Regards,

well i am not too sure. I believe the loom is factory. it definately seems factory.

would anyone be able to shed some light on how to test the tps. i tried the other day, and it was 0.00v or 12.0v. nothing in between, but that was me trying the plug coming off the side, not the bottom plug.

Which plug, and which pins should i test?

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
