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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
