This is going along with my other thread trying to determine what could be causing my misfire issues. (not spark plugs or coil packs) shouldn't be R&R because I have an SAFCII and SITC to compensate for that.

So I was checking over the AVCR install the other day and I noticed a few things done wrong according to the manual.

In the first picture I've drawn in a couple of things, firsty the red line is a vacuum line that was still connected up and also the other nipple on the standard solenoid was not capped off. Could this have been causing a vacuum leak?

And also the coupler (ECU) connection was still connected..which I think would have been causing major problems with the standard solenoid still trying to communicate to the ECU? Correct me if I'm wrong..

So I fixed up all those problems and pushed the car to boost to 9psi and it sill started to miss however I'm thinking that could be because the SAFC & ITC have been tuned with the vacuum leak?

The things that make me think it would have been these mistakes in the install are the fact that the car misses on idle, not just higher in the rpms..

Opinions on whether these would have caused problems? Would vacuum have been leaking? Would the coupler connection cause problems?

(I've only driven the car a couple of times since fixing these things and it hasn't had a miss on idle like it did before and also when it was having its miss when it reached 9psi it didn't seem as harsh as it was before..that could be hopeful thinking though)

sounds confusing but here goes;

the map sensor (single input vac line) needs its signal past the turbocharger, so not near the airflow meter

on the stock setup there is a vac line behind the plenum, this line runs to the factory boost guage map sensor

you can unplug that and run that vac line to the AVCR map sensor (should be 3 wires and 1 vac line)

now that you have working manifold pressure signal you need to hook up the actuator (or boost solenoid)

this is the AVCR solenoid which has COM and PORT. the input signal needs to come from the manifold, usually there is a nipple on the std intercooler piping for this

this connects up to the solenoid and then the output of the solenoid runs to the turbo actuator. if you get this wrong it will run in unlimited boost so either way the factory boost guage or watch the boost display on the AVCR if its wrong it will fly past 1gkcm2 - this can be fatal

The AVCR pressure sensor is all hooked up correctly.

and its only spiking 1psi (is set to 8psi) but got it to 9psi the other night where it still started to miss.

the AVCR seems like its set up correctly now (vacuum lines etc)

  • 4 months later...

i am having similar sort or missfire problems once my avcr was installed. im just trying to figure out what goes where to check it all, can anybody take a pic of there solenoids etc and where all the hoses are meant to connect to and post it up , if its not too much to ask?

cheers

then maybe we can save this thread with pic's in the forced induction section for anybody else who will come across these problems.

Ok, i found out mine had the same problem as so tred, i had a hose still connected to the standard boost solenoid and down to the pipe, so i chopped it off and blocked it off. seemed to run better but is still breaking down after trying to tuning the avcr, might be coil packs, but unsure yet. going to replace them in the near future.

can anyone tell me with the standard solenoid, once u have disconnected all the hoses from it, can u pull out the plug and just leave it disconnected or do u have to leave the plug connected and block off the 2 nipples with screws in the hose ends?

Does the standard computer still need to read what that plug is doing even though the standard solenoid isnt being used.

cheers

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
