Have had this problem since I got the car and it was stock as a rock and its still the same after all these mod's !!! The engine misses with any more than 12psi boost. This week all the following gear went in-

t3/t4, FMIC,PFC,Adj Fuel Reg,Big Fuel pump,z32 afm,new plugs(copper-correct gap) and we tested every coil pack with a known good item. STILL MISSING. It runs like a dream until we go over 12psi. I have been told it could be the crank angle sensor(dry solder joints??) but we ran out of dyno time and crank angle sensors. I hope I have given enough details for some of the SA GURU's to offer some idea's.

Cheers

Stevo

SK - AHA!! I HOPED YOU WOULD DROP IN, IT'S GOT 7'S WITH .8MM GAP. PREVIOUS TO THESE COPPERS WE TRIED IRIDIUMS ETC AT MANY GAPS AND HEAT RANGES WITH NO LUCK.

JTECH- ITS GOT A POWER FC SO NO BOOST/FUEL CUT ISSUES

I KNOW THIS SYMPTOM HAS BEEN COVERED TO DEATH BUT I THINK MY PARTICULAR PROB COULD BE AN ODD ONE.......MMMMMMMM

i have exactly the same problem over 12psi!!!!!!!! its very annoying so i just wind the boost down for now! and ive also done the whole experimenting with plugs, but nothing helped.

i have found that it happens alot more before full operating temp.

Have you actually set a boost cut level. Mine is set at 1.46bar If i just touch up to it in 1st or 2nd i get a misfire if i hit it hard under full load in 4th i get complete ignition cut until the revs are back down to zero then ig comes back on and i can restart.

Just a stab in the dark, but a mate had the same thing.

He regapped his plugs from 0.8 to 0.74 and it worked a treat - miss fire totally gone..

It's hard to believe that 0.06 mm made that much of a difference, but in his case it made the world of difference !!

Good luck.

Stevo is it a series 1, 1.5 or 2? if its a series 1 have you tried another igniter module? Seems like you've replaced all the normal problem parts. This sounds electrical and it"s boost related so try another MAP sensor. Hope your'e monitoring vitals on the dyno like fuel pressure, new parts can be faulty and you need to know that all your bases are covered. Hope this helps Good luck.. :(

Common Stevo, do the leak down test, it will rule out internal problems. Then you can confidently say its external and swap bits over. We find the best way is to get another car same model and swap them, one by one.

I'm not saying it's the problem but at least check it.

Lucky your car was on the dyno when it happened, you dont get too many chances with lean mixtures at load.

Thanks boys! Leakdown down test next, then igniter module(its a series one). It has a new fuel filter and monitired fuel pressure on dyno OK. No rubber hose left on turbo inlet to crush. Probably look at the injectors next. Hey SK, when you used this fuel setup as an alternative to getting bigger injectors, could you get a nice smoooth idle? Some times (only first tune) it can be OK then it gets a bit grumpy/rough. Dripping/dirty injectors?.........will keep you updated guys.

Thanks for the input,

Stevo

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.

      By The Bogan · Posted

      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????
