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.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
