R34 Missing, Running Rich

I had my avcr installed last week and since then have only had problems with my car.

it was running perfectly beforehand and never skipped a beat. the car has an ARC fmic, 3" exhaust, pod..the usual basics.

the car used too boost to 10psi with the full exhaust on and never had any troubles..was nice & quick.

now for the problems,

the boost was set on 10psi through the avcr because when they tried 2 go any higher it would start missing..was told to change the spark plugs.

whenever the car is pushed past 4k the boost would spike to 11psi and start missing.

when I filled up with fuel I worked out I lost approx 100kms of driving with the amount of fuel used. I instantly thought its hitting R&R.

so I have set the avcr to allow the actuator to control the boost until I get it fixed up. it stopped missing high in the rev range but now its started missing on idle.

opinions on what the problem/s is/are? plugs,coil packs, R&R??

also the avcr should be able to hold 10psi without spiking to 11psi right?

are u still running the std ecu?

honestly a could tune would fix it all up.

anythign u change to the car, uve changed how the car runs.

get it to a tuner, although it would be a big waste if ur planning more mods in the near future, slap everythign on 1st then get a tune.

Take it back to the place where you had the AVCR fitted and get them to re-check their work, if it was running with no dramas before hand it has to be something to do with how they fitted it mainly the connections to your standard ecu, i have not had a huge amount to do with the avcr but i know it connects to the injector signal from the ecu (could be causing dramas) i also know that bad or bridged earths between ecu's and piggybacks can cause various issues.

Hey samantha,

I just wanted to know if you had the same problem as me. I got similar mods to you cooler and 10psi boost on my auto r34, and i recently noticed its a bit more lumpy wen its idling, maybe missing? I was wondering if you had any ideas wat it could be?

Also i wanted to ask ya if you moved your auto box cooler? im thinking of getting a bigger one and putting it in the same spot?

Thanks if you can help :(

But i dont think the car is running rich as now that its running 10-11psi, it seems to be getting more km's per tank. does that seem normal for rb25's?

It seems to be idleing rough alot more after a spirited drive than after normal driving? Plugs and oil change have been done a few weeks ago..

Any ideas?

Yea currently im running the BCPR7ES at standard gap, recommended by the tuner, but theyre only about 700Km~ old

Im not 100% but could it be maybe the timming belt on its way? the car is ~65 XXXkm showing on the odo, and not sure if its been replaced..

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!

      Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?

      Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
