more info? lack of power may be rich and retard or an air leak.. air leak may explain why its running like shit and stalling.. car runs rich when cold partly countering the fact its getting more air under vacuum.. when it warms up its still getting more air but less fuel and stalls.. just a stab in the dark with the limited info u gave :/

can only give what i know has power cold and warm some times when warm and you put your foot down it will take off then all of a sudden its like pulling a freight train

and 2 as i dont have RPMs yet it is like it idles as normal then drops to all most still then gose back up and dose it agen some times it will stall out and some times it wont if you hold the revs up say 1000-1500RPM it will still do it

what did you disconnect? the connection that goes to the temperature sensor? your theory has a few holes in it.. as your assuming that with the sensor disconnected, the car would think it was cold? the car may just run the car like its hot without the sensor, plus there is two temperature sensors.

Its more than likely an air leak, ive seen this before a few times with friends cars that swear they have no air leaks and have checked it with air compressors etc..and months later we end up finding a air leak in some remote location, like at the carbon canister, once one of the runners had a crack in it at the bottom, couldnt even get your hand down there to see etc..

If its not a air leak theres a small chance it may be a dying fuel pump or an electrical issue, but more often than not its an air leak =/

fuel pump is brand new (a R31 intank one) i was told it will be enough??? in the next 3 mounths or so i'll be getting a 040 pump

when i wiried in the engine i solded all the joints

there is a earth on the alt that is held on with a 8mm can that make any difference if it in not on???

can i spray WD40 over all air hose to fined a air leak?

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
