i have a 4 door aussie 31 with a series 2 rb25 in it, ie self igniting coils, and pink lablled afm.

been on road a long time, but ive just got it a month odd ago.

did cooler and zorst a week and half ago. garret cooler, and 3 inch turbo back system

since then, whenever its on hard load, mainly on a cool night, it will begin to pop and stutter around the 5000rpm mark, and keep popping as long as foot is down, bring it onto boost slowly and not full load and its ok

plugs are 7 range ngk's, 100km old now, gapped to .6

it will barely do it during the day , when it is warmer.

fuel pump is a 500hp walbro and its rich, the flames and black rear bar are testemant to that as well as the alluring aroma of fuel that follows car around.

possibilites

coil

afm

boost cut

any more?

Hey, mine does something sililar, aussie 31 series 2 rb25 fmic all else stock, when nailing it in the dry it will run ok half the time and piss and fart the other half, but in the wet as it starts to spin in 1st or 2nd and the revs climb too quickly it just starts to rev then completely dies in the arse, then thinks about it, revs back up then dies again... veeeeerrrryyyy frustrating.

Tomj i feel your pain ;)

yeah thats what i meant, if you hit the limiter too quickly, which happens when spinning the wheels, then it just shits itself. but if you acclerate full throttle without spinng it doesnt cut out but surges randomly thru the rev range. why oh why.

boost cut tom you need an ecu or fuel cut defender

 

and dont be a cheap skate wind the boost back to stock till you if a boost gauge

 

 

 

seriously a  cheap boost gauge cost me a motor so imagine what no boost gauge could do

meggala

yeah ill do that, see what boost its making

whats stock boost cut on a 33 auto ecu?

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
