I have a problem with my car over fueling on start up, which then starts to foul the plugs until it warms up and then clears itself which can take up to 5 minutes of driving. The motor is an RB20DET Nics with an R33 Turbs with and 100 x 300 x 80 FMIC with 2 1/2" piping. this has only happend since I put the cooler & turbo on. My Auto elec is stumped at what could cause it to over fuel his only theory is at start up there is no Vacuum, so the motor get a gut full of fuel and no air due to the cooler/piping length causing them to foul. Has any one else had this problem and if so how did you fix it. :P

is it just at idle its to rich?

does it have a hand controler thingy. or only laptop.

check the coolant temp when dead cold. if anything it needs to be retuned.

is it running a closed loop set-up(o2 sensor) if you swapped the turbo and o2 sensor for a 33 one they are diferant so the readings will be wayout.

you should get it retuned anyway with a new cooler and turbo.

Its is only when I sit and idol and the motor is cold, once it is sitting above 50 degrees its fine, the plugs are nice and clean. If I start it in the morning let it run for say 3 minutes and then turn it off, the plugs will be fouled, with fine black soot. I may try and run hotter plugs and go to a 5.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
