OK..

hear's the problem

I'm a Proud owner of a 1993 Nissan Altima

did an engine swap, Installed a RB20 DET Uprise exhuast manifold RB25 turbo with VG30 back end

what is happening is when the engine is cold an i'm accelerating no probs,, but when the engine is hot ( After a Good PASS) it breaks up alittle when accelerating ...I changed all 6 coil packs and Every thing worked great for a few days, after a couple simultaneous PASSES on the Street...SAME PROBLEM AGAIN..

I suspect i have a Coil Pack Overheating Problem With the location of the turbo being the main contributor.

can anyone help me rectify this and tell me if its a common problem

Thanx

^1+ Try another ignitor, dodgy ones play up when they get hot, and check the black wire that comes off the loom that plugs into the ignitor is well grounded.

i'll Try That but what i dont understand if it is the ignitor!!! then why did the problem stop when i changed the coil packs...

ill try it a let u know what was the outcome

    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
