hey everyone....

i have just recently finishd putting a RB25 into my 32 and its all running sweet except for.... sumfin which is giving me the shits

As i come on to boost and get up to about 4rpm or so the exhaust starts popping and backfiring.... simliar to as if i had a REVLIMITER "which i dont" and when this is happening im loosing power and acceleration...

ATM it only has cooler, exhaust and fuel pump "as i am a lil low on funds atm :D "

and its running stock boost.

does anyone what my problem may be... iv been told its the coilpacks and sum ppl also said its the fuel pump....

but i want more opinions b4 i do anyfin. Your help would be much appreciated

thanks

josh

Hesitation/stuttering would make me think fuel pump.

Popping and backfiring sounds like spark breaking down. I would start checking ignition items, plugs, coils, coil harness etc.

Is it s1 or s2 25? s1 will have a seperate igniter like 20/26, that could also be stuffed.

Does it do it everytime without fail? or only when hot? or just randomly intermittent?

And enter the noob................

hows it goin, new to this, so be gentle..... he he he...

if your running standard boost, and you've added the new exhaust and front mount etc, you could be experiencing boost creap which is comon.. i found my r33 would sputter and fart at higher revs though until i put in a fuel cut defender and re gapped the plugs..

the FCD helped a fair bit but when i regapped the pluggs that made a world of difference..

the re-gapping of the plugs is probably the cheapest spot to start... i'd then suggest a run on a dyno after that and maybe fuel filter as well to determine the problem properly.. but i do understand that cost presious precious cash monies to do this.....

any ways, couple of extra ideas for ya... hope it works out and the problem gets solved...

nothing worse than chasing a bug...

+1 :D Although when I had the problem that is basically the same as wellzys I was running about 13psi but I dont think that should really make a difference. Cheapest solution to, about $3 per copper plug.

hey guys

just got bak from ovaboost in malaga.... and i was having a chat to mick and getting my powrfc fitted and tuned on thursday... but my 25 probems which i was having has wierdly stopped... after mick unplugged a brown colourd plugged which is located at the back of the throtle body (not literally on the back of the throttle body... just located behind it)

he pulled that plug out because the engine was idleing to high... and dumbass me didnt actually ask him what he pulled out

so the question i ask is does anyone know what this plug may be and why would it have stopd my first problem???

sorry to be a pain in the arse but i just need more info/opinions on this anyoing problem

Good to hear mate, the simplest things always cause the most grief... and yet finding them is the problem!

What colour is you car man? I work near Ovaboost, and I drive past it 2-3 times a day on test drives. I've probably seen it!

yeh just gald thats all over and i cant spend my money on what i have planned.... my 32 is silver... its the first time iv been to ovaboost in awhile but ill be dealing with them so much more when putting in my plenum and turbo n stuff because they are so helpful and reliable...

cant wait :D

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
