After i sprayed some seafoam into the plenum through a vacuum line, the car started missing badly on idle and making popping noises from the exhaust. I turned up the idle to 1k now so it does it less frequently. What can it be? its a rb25 neo. While driving the car is perfectly fine though.

Well that makes spraying "seafoam" a pretty useless use of time and money....

Maybe it dislodged some carbon and is caught in a valve?

I personally would never use the shit.

Rev car heaps and see if that fixes it

Or spray some other magic cure in there.

Why did you use the cleaner in the first place? What problem did you try to fix?

They aren't really a substitute for actually fixing the problem.

I would pull the plugs and see what they are like,they might be covered in shit.

i did it just to clean up the plenum a bit since i never cleaned it before. Checking the plugs is gonna be a pain because i need to take the throttle body off . The car even misses on low revs below 3000 i realised.

fixed the problem. The place where the spark plugs sit was flooded with coolant, especially the first cylinder. The plugs were also dirty so i cleaned them with a wire brush and contact cleaner. Car is running perfect now. Thanks for the help guys

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
