i hav a '93 rb26tt thats being a pig!!!!! it stalld on me a week ago then started to

over fuel heaps.... had a mate look at in on monday night and it didnt play up when

he was there (as usual) then yesterday it started to over fuel and run like a pig again.

today it wouldnt hold idle and now it wont crank!!!!!!!!! ive recently changed from a

standard computer thats been chiped by mines to an apexi power fc.... tha power fc

already had a map for this motor (its not a standard rb26) and it seemed to hold idle

a bit more solid than the mines but as i said it wont start now unless its clutched....

any help would be great :)

Are you sure its poring in fuel? Have you checked plugs & coils? Injectors can be stuck open from dirty fuel and it has clogged up the injectors. Not cranking? Once again injectors stuck open so there are flooding a few cylinders, this also can be caused by bad plugs (flooded), bad coils or even ignition module. Maybe try a stock ECU? Might be the wrong tune...

Checking them one by one will take you closer to you problem...

Cheers,

Alex.

im sure it fueling up... you can see it spitting on the exhaust tip then it evaporates. and when it finally starts

it blows alot of black smoke. the mines computer ran it fine untill last sat when it stalld.

how do i go about checking coils injectors etc? could it be a prob with o2 sensors or the fuel reg?

ive gon efrom owning a datto with carbies to a rb27tt (tomei stroker) im in over my head i think :)

Try putting the old stock mines ECU back in. Defiantly sounds like a fuel/ignition problem. Take the plugs out and have a look at the condition. Faulty coil packs usually come from having cracks in them.

TRY:

*Taping the wire loom that connects all the coils

*Replacing new plugs to NGK iridium gapped to 0.8mm

*Checking coil packs for cracks (If so try to using silicon to fill them in)

*Maybe a new Fuel Filter

A few questions:

*Is it running a fuel regulator?

*Bigger injectors ECT..

*Any other modification you know about?

If your running bigger injectors, bigger AFM's, cams ect you most defiantly need a tune. a full list of mods will help.

It’s hard to explaining everything set by step. Try getting it to a specialist or a tuner to source out the problem.

The last thing you want to do is throw $100 worth of plugs at it when your chasing a gremlin. A $20 set of coppers will be fine.

A simple fouled plug or split/popped off cooler hose can give the problems you describe.

Have you tried a new set of plugs?

But as you mentioned the problem has come and gone I would say its likely to be ignition related.

And as alluded to by Paul, if the power fc wasnt tuned when connected up to your engine, which is modified, then that wont help much either.

check air flow meters as well.

dude the pfc was tuned for this motor as is, i havnt changed a thing

on the motor so it should still run... i will get a set of plugs and c if that works.

how would u go about checking the intercooler pipes for leaks?

ok............ i took off the breather hoses on the rocker covers and blanked them off.

i re checked tha gaps in the new spark plugs (oops forgot to gap them), put the mines comp back in after changing it for the pfc again and the car runs!!!!!!!!!! lacking power and still running heaps rich but atleast

now the motor behaves under load....... going to take the pfc and car to a tuner and c whats wrong.

according to the last owner of the car that pfc spent 14hrs getting tuned for this motor set up...

buggerd if i know y it isnt working rite.... :whistling: tha mines computer f**ked out on me originaly

so im afraid to put it down to being the comp

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
