hey guys,

My car has been stuffing up as of late. When its cold it seems to crank over easily, but as soon as it warms up, on idle it just stalls and turns off and i cant crank it back over.

Im guessing its the earthing problem that i have been reading about but i just wanted to make sure.

Today i also put in a set of splitfire coil packs with the same result.

Thanks guys,

Jacob

Hey man, I'm having the same problem with my r32 but when i did a ecu check it told me(after i let the engine warm up) that something was wrong with the knock sensor. I'm not really sure what the knock sensor does but i'm gonna have a look see and post my result. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Hey Juvv my car starts normally again. After checking all the electrical stuff like running an ecu check and other stuff it turned up nothing. So i decided to lift the head of the car and guess what? We found leaking valves man. So this is what you do run a compression test on each cylinder. The compression on each should be between 110- 140psi. Let me know whats up. If the compression is below 100psi,get your mechanic and you buy some new valves or grind the ones you have is they didn't melt or aren't burnt badly.

Well after pulling out my valves we saw that they weren't seated properly so we grinded the ones that i already had. And now i'm starting one click even when its hot. Exactlly what is the "CAS?" Check the compression on the engine and lets see what its saying. Remember if its less than 100psi your valves are the problem. The compression is leaking pass the valves due to the head warping.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
