hi guys lookin for some help as im stumped

so the problem is I have built myself a simple little drift missile but the response is *weird*?
say I whip a couple of nuts then go to snake off as soon is I blip the gas off then hard back on it dies as if a total cut then comes back on perfect again but by then traction is gained and its all over. same thing winding out a gear and changing up, rev all the way (no tach yet) smash next gear.... biiiig dead spot , foot still firmly planted, one or two tiny ignitions then back on song no missing broad minded persontering nothing, ruining my skids,

so guess I shood drop a mod list

c33 laurel originally rd28 diesel manuel
c34 rb25de wired in like factory, knock sensors, acc valve valve everything works , even hooked up the start signal wire
stainless 3-1 extractors into 3" exhaust with 1 hi flow muffler
pod filter with cold air box, doesnt have a feed into it , is just blocked off from engine bay and taking air from behind the light etc
diesel flywheel p plate, clutch and gear box
fuel is a 30l fuel cell with surge tank, hi vol pump into tank and a vl rb30 efi pump to motor, still running factory flushed diesel hard lines, (small return) and using the fatory fuel pressure reg thing on the return, (I assume that's what it is)
plugs are iridims and gaped to.8

any help would be great, this makes it no fun to drive

Not sure mate but a tune should be able to work it out. My old carby ap5 had the same problem and used to foul the plugs all the time until I sorted the over fueling with a fuel reg and carby jets. It was a petrol engine though. Diesels might be more sensitive to over fueling I think.

Is the gearbox/neutral switch hooked up so it knows when it's in gear? I'm assuming by having the start switch hooked up you are meaning the neutral switch is earthed so it thinks it's in neutral all the time, which means it will be using a different map in the ecu than if it thought it was in gear. That may be contributing to the issue.

does sound like a good plan, however, everything in this car is stripped, the whole auto loom is now gone ( body is factory manuel) would it be a pinout from the ecu?

as for the start start switch as far as I am aware I had to put 12v to it when the motor is winding over starting and it tells the ecu to give it a little more gas?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
