Rb26 Misfiring On Cornering

Hi guys,

I recently went to the track, and although the first few outings were fine, after a while it began misfiring whenever I'd be cornering. It seemed fine whenever I would hit the straights.

It had roughly half a tank of fuel, is an R34 (which I think has a bit of baffling in the tank anyway), but other than that I'm a bit ... baffled ...

No smoke was seen coming out either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers!

Thanks for the replies guys!

Does it still do it with a full tank?

Yep it was fine when I entered with the full tank - is half a tank typically low enough to get fuel surge on an R34?

^ what he said. Certainly sounds like fuel surge. Might be worth checking the fuel pump cradle is correctly locked into its bracket and that the sock is present.

I haven't double-checked this one, cheers, will pull it out and see

Even if all still in place/locked in properly, it's probably a good idea to get a surge tank in any case!

Thanks again guys

Ah righto, cheers for the info, hopefully doesn't need to be replaced!

Will take a look at it and make sure it's secured firmly as suggested and perhaps see if any room to drop it a bit more; will also perhaps just take a jerry can to the next track day and keep the fuel topped up, before going down the route of surge tanks etc

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
