Hey There,

Got my new engine put in this week, and after a bit of driving around etc i've noticed that sometimes when the revs are low and building up to boost

at about 2500rpm the car stutters a bit and feels like its holding back, then once it gets past there it boogies.

Now, i had a major issue with one of the cams f**king up so one of my old cams was used in the motor as the other was broken, now if the cams were say to be different would this cause the issue? The cams supposably on the new engine were NA ones but im unsure of this as a fact.

The car doesnt really pull hard on 14psi as it used to, it used to throw you back in your seat now the car just seems to pull along the revs?

Also thinking Injectors or fuel pump?

Help! I wanna get this fixed!

oh ok sorry - so the engine was just put back in the car?

id say something is loose, like a hose clamp, intercooler pipe work, the air vac lines for the actuator etc - something along those lines?

Well its not the gap on the plugs

After a fair bit of reading ive come to the conclusion that its the fuel pump not sending enough to the engine, probably causing it to lean out. The car runs fine when cold but thats when its running rich but as soon as it settles its stuffed.

"Many of you with S13s have probably experienced hesitation on boost which can start to happen when the standard fuel pump is getting old."

I believe thats what my problem is.

Now im estimating that its dangerous to drive the car whilst in this state, i.e fuel pump could break down, or could lean the engine out.

Would i be right saying that?

it will be dangerous for you to give the motor any reason to demand more fuel yes.. like cracked piston spec. putting around not so much the best thing for you to do man is take it to a dyno and get your air/fuel checked out they will be able to tell u if it is leaning out or not, if so extreemly likely tis the fuel pump

what gap and how much boost are you running? I was running 14 psi and I had a stutter even after I put in a new 040 pump and pulled the gap from 1.1 to .8 and it stopped it

Car was datalogged today, we found that the timing was out. We also adjusted the teeth so that it was sitting perfectly.

We also changed over to a working CAS which still didnt fix the problem, the timing was jumping around from sitting on 15 to 7/8 up and down. Also tried a few diff coilpacks but we are unsure if they are working correctly.

I'm waiting on my walbro replacement to come back then ill be installing that into the tank see if that fixes the issue, other than that its coil packs/injectors we are thinking.

Anyone able to add some to the situation?

Also, if somone could be nice enuff who lives in the melbournes west to let me borrow there coilpacks for 2 minutes to see if the car runs any better would be appreciated.

Anyone who can help either post or pm me please!

My car does the same sometimes, most likely cause would be either fuel pump or injectors. i have a power fc and when it happens i look at the inj duty and its 100% . It never used to it when i had 550cc in there. Two ways to fix it....

1. Bigger fuel pump, Fuel reg and bigger Injectors and tune.. or

2. Turn the boost down.

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
