Revving Problem That Can't Be Diagnosed So Far...

Hi all,

I have a re-occuring problem with my R33. When under full throttle, when it reaches 4500rpm the revs almost come to a halt and the engine feels like it's really struggling.

So far, it has been currently un-diagnosed as to what it is.

I have changed the AFM, coil packs, CAS, fuel pump and had a HKS twin power unit installed incase of ignition breakdown, all to no avail.

the ECU reads 55 in diagnostic which is no fault.

I'm starting to go out of my mind, anyone else encountered the same or similar problem??

any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

whats your air filter looking like? tried replacing it?

a mate of mine had a really weird problem where the car was basically making no power.

turned out the air filter was being sucked onto the intake pipe

maybe thats it?

also I know on the Stageas ( thats what I drive ) the intake pipe would " suck shut " basically implode on it self - thus causing problems.

maybe it could be that ?

I know its a bit of extra expense.. but why not stick it on a dyno and get em to do a few runs

they connect all sorts of sensors in the dyno that might be able to tell you something

you dont reckon its boost cut do you?

had a look at my air filter, looks fine, grubby, but not overly. I'll give it a clean whilst i'm at it and see how that goes.

Have already fixed the inlet pipe from sucking closed by replacing ribbed section with solid piping.

Boost is 6.5psi low and usually 8psi high, so shouldn't be boostcut, but stranger things have happened...

Was thinking maybe an ECU input is kaput, as It'll run fine at some points, sometimes for hours on end but turn it off and it runs like a pig up top again.

So far spark plugs are about 10,000km old. re-gapped them recently to .7 and looked fine.

Maybe Dyno is going to be the only way to go.. bugger!

Cam timing?, CAT Blown apart inside, and blocking zorst.

OR even one of the silencers disintegrated internally, and blocking the ZORST..!!

Cleaned the air filter to no avail.

Fuel filter was replaced 5,000km ago, Will have a search for "rich and retard"

Was prompted by a mechanic to check my cat and now it's currently non existent.

Have a catback exhaust on it, only 20,000km old and with no cat is just straight through unless there is a second cat i don't know about..?

Could possibly be the cam timing..

dyno is still looking like the best bet :D

before you get the car dyno'd, go to motor traders and buy 6x BCPR6ES-11 or BCPR7ES-11 NGK sparkys (which should cost you no more than $40), gap them to 0.7-0.8, install. Take your car for a drive. If it still has the problem, then book in for a dyno tune.

      Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
