Well well well its time for some headaches.

The car was running but when i started it sounded like a V8 car like it was misfiring. Suddenly it stopped 1 hour later and was souding like an RB after 1 hour of driving.

Then a few days later after driving it it was having problems starting it.. slowly slowly getting worse on starting it so i had to get it push started to get it running.

I was running low on fuel b4 it started playing up? Not sure if this will effect it.

I instantly thought my plugs where dead since they looks nasty and where very old. I replaced the plugs just then with BCP6E plugs NGK (x6) and the car still wont start.

The coil pack plugs are all cracked and half missing plastic on them. Why isnt the car starting? I havnt tried to push start it yet as i dont see it making a differnce? Is it the plugs really? but its still not starting? If anyone knows what happend to this beutiful 5spd RB20DET Cefiro please let me know.

its too csotly too fix, you can buy another.

Its on the front of your CAM belt cover... the round silver thing.

thats not 100% what it is though, just a likely choice.

a workshop you need to go to i think

What are they worth to buy from wreckers ( used ).

Do R33 ,R34 ones fit? GTR also?

Thanks

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
