Hey all,

The other week dad put a new battery in my car. Since then, alot of problems have come up. It's an R32 GTS with an RB20DE btw.

If the car goes over 100km/h, it does that beeping. Now I'm not sure if that is meant to happen or not, but i know on alot of drift movies and stuff I've seen it happens to them too. Just wondering if it just requires the ECU to be tweaked to allow it to go over?

Also, my major problem......

When we first got the car it was fine. But ever since the new battery, when first start my car up and go for a drive it chugs for a while. Almost like kanagaroo hopping. After a while it goes away, probably because the engine is now warmed up. What i don't get though is that it never used to do this. It has only done it since the new battery has gone on :D

Any help would be appreciated asap, as i get my P's tomorrow lol.

oh... dear... god...

either way, it doesnt sound like a battery problem at all... the only real problem with batteries are

FLAT: it wouldn't start if it was

BAD CONNECTION: might be it, check your connections, but i doubt it

SURGE: your new battery might have let out a bit too much power at one point and fried some shit...

all highly doubtful...

your ECU, unless f**ked, doesnt need anything... try a different battery and see if that fixes it... probably your best route of attack...

when i was your age, i had a 1978 honda prelude... had been on this earth twice as long as me...

Thanx for the help DRD.

The chugging has now seemed to stop, but.......

Instead of chugging, every now and then the engine loses power. Like I'll be driving along then it was basically just stop revving and role along, then eventually it'll kick back in. It's strange......

Any help on this aswell? lol

i would say its time to start taking care of that car...

it needs a service... sounds like your coilpacks might be rooted... but it also sounds like you picked this car up for cheap...

take it to someone who knows about them and get them to have a look at it... its gunna cost you money no matter what you do, but this is probably the best thing to do...

    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
    • Cut sump up and extend. Win win 😂 
    • All, What's the recommended torque for the 1/2 head studs for RB30 twin cam conversion with RB26 head?
