hi my RB20det shits and farts between 2000 - 3000 rpm but if fine under boost and doesnt do it when its cold...

ok i took it out for a decent drive today and is (censored) it self it splutters but only when its hot

say ur in 4rd doing 50 km it starts to splutter but if u chop it down a gear and boost it, it goes fine all the way to redline.

also noticed when it splutters the water temp gauge jumps all over the place in time with the spluttering

here is what ive tried so far

cleaned the afm

new fuel filter

hooked up the cold start and idle controller

adjusted the tps voltage from .52v to .50 at idle

changed the plugs

changed the coils and igniter

what else can i do?

it was running mint then it went into storage for a year

and now it runs like poos

its got new 98 fuel in it too

      I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming.

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.
