Hi

Thanks to anyone who has taken the time to think about my cars issue.

Below are the mods done to my car in a little more detail but firstly im asking if anyone has experienced a similar issue to me and what you have done to resolve it.

Secondly if anyone has any suggestions on the next step in the process then im also interested to hear it!

My car has developed a misfire, actually its more like a hard cut rev limiter at about 5200rpm if under load. At idle or lighter load it can rev higher. The wideband indicates the AFR is not changing when the problem starts. The plugs all look fine. Fuel pressure is available (checked while under load on dyno). Symptoms are the same no matter what gear its in.

Already Tried:

Checking Plugs, replaced, and gapped them progressively tighter until getting as low as 0.3. Replaced with Iridium plugs at .8, then refit new copper at .6 - No change.

New Coil Packs - No Change

New Leads - No change

New injectors - No Change

New Crank Angle Sensor (checked with timing light to top dead) - No change

Disconected turbo compressor from intake to test with no boost. - no change

Some more details about the car.

built motor, T04Z Turbo - no maf sensors

Haltech Platinum 2000

Ls1 Coilpacks

huge fuel system

Im sure ive left out some key info however ill come back and add anything the moment i remember it.

I had something similar on our GTR, turned out being the ignitor module.

Also check your earths to the engine, ignitor module has one on the R32 GTR's on one of the rear bolts holding it down, unsure about later R33 GTR models.

Hi guys thanks for the time.

It sure is an interesting one!

The ignitor module is no longer in place, LS1 coils have an ignitor built in. All have been replaced.

Dwell time on coils is supposed to be 3.2ms @ 13.8v. Ive altered the ecu as low as 2ms right up to 5.5 and it makes no difference to the issue.

Prior to the misfire a wideband afr was fitting approx 1 month beforehand.

And yes, happens in all gears on dyno and all gears ive tried on the road.

hey dude i had this problem :)
i had a haltech and my tuner had set up a fail safe setting that would set up boost cut. if the boost spiked above a certain psi it will boost cut.
i could rev past it if was on light throttle but if i punched it in 4th gear from low down like 3000rpm and waited and waited and waited then bang full boost would come on hard at 5500rpm and it spiked a bit it would hit the boost cut and almost throw me through the windscreen haha. for example boost was set at 20spi and when it came on boost like that it would spike to 21psi and the boost cut was set to 21psi and then it would boost cut... maybe this is your problem

i also had a similiar problem when my fuel pickup line had a split and the fuel wasnt quite making it all the up to the top of the tank before a bit was spilling back into the tank. once again on full boost the haltech registered that the engine was leaning out, so it would boost cut. maybe it is a fuel issue, but then you said that the AFR's arnt changing to hmm its a tough one

Both ideas make sense but one thing I tried was disconnecting the turbo compressor from the intercooler so the engine would run without any boost at all. Still the exact same proplem.

Also ive checked the fuel pressure with a gauge while on the dyno, not fuel pump or pickup related as the pressure in the rail does not drop.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
