Hey guys when i really give it to my car it starts to gurble and burp i hear the engine going but cars shutters and does not move any faster will that be the fuel cut or will i need a fuel reg it has a new fuel pump and has the speed limiter still?

If i turn the car off and leave it then turn it back on if i smash it straight away there is no problem but after that little bit of smashing it gets back to its habbit.

I really need to fix this as my car suffers so much if i cant get all the power.

I have a RB20DET on 13psi in a silvia just to let u know when there is no fuel cut my car flys like shit out of an ass but with it on it sucks balls on 10psi it has the same issue.

I could not tell u at what revs this is happening as rev meter dont work.

What do u think the problem could be. and how would i got about fixing it.

Thanks guys. :Pimp2:

I believe if my coil packs were stuffed it would run rough the whole time i drive the car. This does not happen, it only happens once i start to really push the car at high revs as stated above.

It runs perfect normal driving and through out the medium rev range just not the high revs.

I might try cleaning my spark plugs and getting a new fuel filter any other comments anyone.

I have spoken to my mechanic he said he thinks it would be my spark plugs.....he also said am i getting this misfire and etc through out the whole rev range im like nope he said well it wont be your coils as it would cause rough driving the whole time not just at high revs, if it was the coils u would know cause u would get rough drive the whole time due to one not causing any or enough volts to ignite the spark plugs.

He said buy or clean spark plugs and get new fuel filter and then go from there.

Dead coils would cause rough ride the whole time.

im not saying your mechanic is wrong.... ok, yeah i am.

if there was backfire throughout the rev range then it would be something like your fuel filter or plugs.

but if you read through the sticky about the coils then you will see that everyone gets their misfire at around the 4500 mark.

I thing is i dont get my back fire at the mark i get mine at high revs not medium revs......thats why im thinking it wont be the coil my mechanic did not say it would never be them just that the chance is slim and i should try sparks plugs first.

If its not the spark plugs i will check the coils.

Im not sure if u missed the part where i said "guessing"

im guessing around the 6 grand marks as i can generally tell what rev range its in by the sound of the car and compares the sounds to my mates RB20DET cars.

in second gear ut starts at 70kph when i max out at 100kph in 2nd.

It sounds like plugs or coils.It probally wont break down low in the rev range coz theres not enought pressure on the plugs/coils to work,more pressure = hard time on them.

Do plugs anyway if you have'nt before,wont hurt.

You could well be hitting the rev limiter you know.....But i doubt it.

Just an idea.

RB20's dont seem to suffer the same coil issues as rb25's for some odd reason, considering they share the same part number in alot of cases. Youd find you have the occassional misfire under load at lower boost if the coils are on the way out, and then complete breakdown at higher boost.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
