Talk to Sam about the idle problem. He would know better then anyone since he was working on the car and knows what was changed.

Looks promising though. When you are done see if Sam can lay your power curve over mine (Silver R32 with TD06 that made 240odd on his dyno) . I suspect your curve will be enough to convince me that the Plazmaman inlets are worth the money :P

Hope you get it sorted, be good to see another silver R32 makign some numbers in Vic ;)

I had a problem similar the your's with the missing so I went and bought the splitfire coil packs to but that didnt fix the problem had to the gap the plugs down to 7mm b4 it fixed it ,was a bit dissappointed with the splitfires really .I would stay with coppers to atm till you sort out your problems with the miss fire I use them all the time .Can U post up a pic of the engine bay with the plenum fitted please, thinking about getting one of them for my car but just want to know what has to be modified for it

Cheers Peter

The Splitfire are good in that you can at least be confident that the spark is even accross all the cylinders, and they are cheaper then new form Nissan. Mine are gappedat either .76 or .78mm. No issue even up to 1.5bar

On the same dyno....against an RB20 with GCG Hi-Flow R34 turbo.

Fix up the spark, also what are you doing for boost control. It seems to roll onto boost rather then really coming on and boogying. The other thing that may be worth trying is cam gears. A few ppl have now commented that could be the difference between good results and very surprising results. My first tuner said they didnt do anything on my car, the current tuner was obviously able to find power somewhere, could be the cam gears.

When Sam dyno'd my car i was running more boost then the engine was really tuned for. I asked my tuner to stop protecting me from myself and on his dyno im now making 26rwkws more so i would suggest cam gears could be something to look closely at. God knows 260/8.9mm cams didnt work in my engine :D

i had similar problems when i did my car the car turning off and not idleing is a tuning problem.

have him look at it again.

another thing i notice with your car you said it only pulled 117rwkw when it was stock.

mine pulled 142rwkw with just 3inch exhaust i dont think the exhaust would put that much power down??? would it?

has your mechanic checked the compression?

make sure you head gasket isnt screwed BEFORE you run 20 psi thorught it trust me i know from experiance. IT WILL GO BANG!

yea i have already booked in another tune with him next week. hopefully it rolls our of there purring like a kitten.. hehe.

ill let him know to do a tune Challenge between ur's and mine. then will have to line em up and let Faith know who wins :)

yea 117kw is a dead stock R32 gts-t no mods or boost. sam was telling me most stock R32's make 95-100kw's

and no i havnt checked the compression but it is a good idea. i will let sam know to check it 4 me.

ill try put sum shit NGK coppers in and gap em to 0.7mm see if that does anything.

cheers

will keep u guys posted

hey how you doin mate. look i know im a newbie and all 2 dis site but i had da same problem. wen u punch it n back off n hold the clutch in does it feel like its gona stall on u and come back 2 normal revs?? and da splattering??? ok i tried bigger fuel pump, coils, sparkplugs, etc etc etc. when i wen back dey narrowed it down 2 da vct. while dey have it on a dyno if it does it again get em 2 pull off da plug 4 it n play around wid da timing.

just a hint. it took me a month n every day at da work shop 2 get em 2 find it.

i have a r33 wid hybrid front mount single stage boost controller, bov, aftermarket fuelpump, platinum spark plugs ( which do make a better spark in my case ) that are gapped at .8.

even with da vct not connected i pulled 213.2 kw@tw. so im guessing u will blow way over wat u think :(

anyways good luck wid it n hope it works out well 4 ya :worship:

^^^ For those who don't understand jibberish:

dis = this

da = the

wen = when

dey = they

wid = with

And let me guess...you have an atmo bov...if you do then thats why you're having stalling issues...and you're making 213rwkw without a proper ecu? *cough cough*

With regards to the splitfires..

There's a thread over on the datalogit forum where some one checked out the coils with an FSA scope.

Long story short the dwll time within the pfc for the split fires was incorrect. Resulting in ignition breakdown at over 17psi odd ~290awkw.

Adjusted dwell time so that the coil is saturated and missfire disappears.

hahaha na seriously thats what i got on the dyno on a stock computer. like i said i havent had the car long so the previous owner must have done something 2 it. i know what u mean because i didnt believe it either when they told me.

sam was telling me most stock R32's make 95-100kw's

not to take anything away from sam, but i really doubt that :D

i have not heard of a single healthy stock rb20 making near that figure, hell even CA's make around that at the rear wheels. ofcourse this depends on alot of things. even i and mates have have theirs dynod in stinking hot weather, one got 140rwkw and the other got 120rwkw, both absolutely bone stock, i got 150 with just a AM catback exhaust. all different dynos at different times BTW

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
