Fellow Skyline owners,

The car in question is a r32 GTS-T.Car is misfiring above 4000rpm.Changed cracked coils still doing it .

So paid $80 for dyno run....

OUTCOME!!Running dangerously lean when on boost 11psi 4000rpm which is causing the feel of misfiring.

connected pressure gauge up to to fuel line still on dyno ,sure enough fuel pressure drops at 4000rpm when the car runs lean!!

Okay drive with no boost till the walbro 500hp fuel pump comes in !

Mission accomplished fuel pump put in (2 days waiting)........But wait still missing !!

What do i check next .......Dyno guy closed till Monday

I'm thinking fuel lines under the car ??Testing to see if pump recieving 12V Note:fuel filter and fuel hoses in engine bay replaced last week!

Anything else i should inspect?????

Thanx in advance

Also had another thought, i forgot to post earlier.

Is the pump getting full battery voltage under load.

Could be a faulty FPCM. (Fuel pump control module)

The ECU gets the FPCM to drop voltage to the pump under idle for quiter operation, maybe it isn't switching off idle to the higher voltage.

Check the voltage at the pump.

Also does the aftermarket pump require bigger guage cable for the higher current that most larger than stock pumps can draw?

Give some more details of your setup and testing results, im sure someone can help.

.

Maybe .......where is the FPCM located?

I will organise a volt meter to check it out ...though it will fluctuate any way wouldn't it.

Done some research some ppl wire their pump so its on max all the time ,means wear out quicker but there is always plenty of fuel,the unused fuel just goes back to the tank.

How would i know if my fuel reg is dead?

What about your injectors?  Tried changing your fuel filter?

What are your AFRs running at above 4000rpm.. ie how lean?

Fuel Filter changed aweek ago! the pressure gauge was connected just b4 the fuel reg.so don't think anything to do with injectors.

Not sure but the line on the dyno graph for afr shot up when the car was missing ,leaning out!my tuner said it's leaning out pretty bad!!!

gonna hassle him tomorrow to work out the prob after all he wasted my $250 on a fuel pump :wassup:

Hey dudes problem solved,

replaced fuel pump reset ecu car is running sweet just misfiring now and running rich now ,Put on dyno again

Put my tuners coil loom and coils in and the car ran fine didn't miss a heart beat.

So i am chasing the coil loom $45 from jap wrecker and gonna splurge on the splitfire coils for just under $600(import places want $75to $100 each.Iscored 6 for $50 off a mate but for standard ones which will keep playin up and can't run more than 0.8m gap on the plugs

Now running rich so gonna check out o2 sensor and save for apexi fc!

Thanks fellas

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
