hey guys, i'm having some huge problems with my car and i'd appreciate it if someone could help me with a diagnosis.

These problems generally appear after i drive the car quite hard. Its a 93 R32 gts-t with a Ceffy rb20 in it. Minimal mods, VG30/RB25 turbo, FMIC, SSQV, Zorst, BB Clutch, Stock boost.

1. Idle - Revs drop to about 100-200 on idle, spike back up to bout 1500, then drop again. It does this over and over again on idle. AFM's been cleaned, idle control adjusted, fuel pump changed. Idle control helped a bit but the problem resurfaced again. When approaching the lights, drop it into neutral - revs drop, car stalls.

2. After driving it hard, sometimes acceleator elicits no response. Pressing it down, no revs, nothing. Silence. Then the other night, at the lights ready to take off, put her in 1st, press acc and the revs dropped. they didn't pick up, just kept dropping everytime i pushed the accelerator til she stalled, then wouldn't start up again. Had to roll her down a hill, wait 5 mintues, then she started up again.

Now, i've changed most things on the car as stated above, but the problem still sits. Is it possible that a very worn out turbo can cause all of this? My current turbo (VG30) is about to die and is spitting alot of oil into the pipes.

Can oil from the pipes seep into the engine and cause much damage? If so, what sort of damage?

Sorry to drain it but this problem doesn't seem to be going away. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. The car is a bitch to drive atm - keeps stalling on me.

Thanks again.

modr33s2 - thanks for the reply. the turbo is quite tired so it could be very possible that that has happened - however i'm not going to find out until i take the head apart eh? Damn....more work....

Waz - i replaced the fuel pump to a warlboro item and it seems to not be that. WHen i opened the fuel tank, i found my fuel baffle floating around -wtf?

the person i bought the car off is one dodgy muta f*cka. some ppl here know who he is, but i don't wanna name names.

thanks for your help guys..

I'm considering doing the rb25 conversion (new engine, no hassles) - anyone know where i can get a good reliable half cut? I've checked upimports and just jap, could any of you guys point me to a few other places?

thanks again

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
