95 r33 with lots o shite, wolf ecu has recently been rebuilt with all forged internals and tuned to run 14 or 20psi.

At the moment under low and heavy loads i'm getting consistant backfiring at similar intervals in each gear all the time. 1st gear at some point I havent seen yet cos i never stretch 1st, but 2nd at about 55kph, 3rd at 80kph, 4th at 100kph & 5th at 140kph. Under acceleration the car will hit these points & backfire harshly on me, if I keep my foot down the car will finally struggle past it & boost on as normal. When no acceleration at all and the car is slowing down the car will again hit these speeds, not backfire because there is no acceleration but the revs die right down, but ONLY at these speeds. Doubt its a rev issue because they are different, in between 3100 & 3500 approx.

Apart from these things the car sounds & drives as normal, I can get around the backfiring but that will mean minimal boost, pretty ghey in a near 400rwhp car :)

That "was" it, but now a couple of other things have showed up. the other day I started the car as normal, got to the servo & filled up. Went in & payed, got back and the car wouldnt fire up straight away. It now does this all the time, taking quite a while to start & generally being a bitch. idle is now quite rough, with a decent amount of black smoke under minimal revs. i may or may not have a cat, but still more black smoke than normal/there should be.

Also, the keyless entry now decides not to work after not being activated for a while (ie overnight). the way I started it up this afternoon was by opening the door & getting the alarm, then putting the key in the ignition and turning it to on & then pressing it. so its gone from a maybe plug/coil issue to possibly being ecu related.

I had my car for 1 day in Perth after the retune & it was perfect, but since I got to queensland its been like this since i picked it up from the TNT depot a week ago.

If anyone at all can help out with this it would be great, all i can narrow it down to is plugs, coils or an ecu issue, ive gone over as many hoses i can find but only checking connections & not leaks. have to do that in the light after reading through some threads but Im hoping for some feedback asap because i need to get down to the gold coast to see my brother & nephew tomorrow or Friday, so the sooner the better! plan b is getting down to the area & getting to a respectable qld workshop to see what they can tell from seeing the car, so if any qld based people can help out there for tomorrow that would be sweet. Cheers, Nathan

First of all, i would get the alarm looked at.

Once that is sorted, then move onto the running problems which could be coil packs, dirty connections, fuel pump... there is a long list

Best to get rid of the alarm/keyless issue first IMO.

yeh id get the alarm checked out once iv checked all fuses first... if the problem is still there id go on and check plugs, leads and coil packs at the same time, sounds like a dodgy ignition problem.. i wouldnt check out the ecu till last, as its not common for it to be ecu related, then again i know nothing about the wolf ecu, so dont quote me on that..

Update.

I (Shayde) was driving behind Ossie just to check how much smoke we're getting here. Basically under load I can't see the back of his car. Under light load, taking off, shifting into 2nd and then 3rd in low speed there was very noticable smoke.

One other thing he told me was that he was driving in 14psi setting and his boost guage read 18psi and his 20psi setting reached 19psi and then cut out. He described it as the engine dying. The car slowed down and just lost all boost and such.

His tuner has thinks it's most likely the map sensor line. Possibly a leak or something like that causing this. If this isn't the case it could be something more sinister.

I want to check all the standard ignition fault causes as well.

Thanks for your help so far guys, it's much appreciated.

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
