guys..just wanna make it as simple explanation of my situation...

in 1st gear...

1. rev the engine with no boost ----> car jerks, lost power when reach 4.5/5k rpm

2. rev the engine with boost and half throttle (boost steady at 0.7 bar)-----> same as above with missfire

3. rev the engine with boost and full throttle (boost steady at 0.7 bar)-----> same as above plus got black smoked

when cruising in 4th gear....wanna overtake cars

1. floor the throttle and car jerks and no power at all as above symptom (boost reading steady show full boost) and rpm hard to climb to 5k....can't even overtake the cars....

2. gently floor the throttle back and maintain the boost at 0.1 bar and the engine can built up power, rpm can reach 5k and overtake the car...

so what actually happen....? please guide me.... :D

sounds like one of the 3 following issues, or a combination of more than one:

1: spark plugs are worn, gap is too big and creating a miss. solution: new plugs or regap the old ones

2: coil packs are shot (most likely). solution: new coils

3: ignitor pack is shot (least likely). solution: new ignitor pack.

there is also a possibility it is the AFM as well. when they play up the car goes into limp mode and won't rev past about 4500rpm, but it also won't rev past that if you simply rev the car with the clutch in (depending on whether the problem is intermittent or constant).

thanks mate....a post/suggestion/comment here really give me a light at the end of a tunnel... :)

well i will change the coilpacks as suggested.....just bought one set as spare couple of weeks ago...just cross my finger and hope it will settle down my probs....

my RB20 wont rev past 2300RPM when the afm is unplugged so i would be leaning away from AFM if you are getting to 4500. most likely coil packs or sparkplugs. it might be an idea to buy new plugs anyway if you havnt changed them for a while as the electrodes tend to wear out on one side and in effect increase your gap so increasing the chance of missfire. plugs are cheap as chips so replace them and your new coil packs at the same time and listen to her purr! haha

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
