Interesting Intake piping....

When was the last ttime you changed the plugs?

still building it just wating for the intercool to finish off the Intake

i have not done the plugs on it but had them out and they seem to look ok...mybe do them tomorrow

any particular brand??? NGK platium plugs cost a bit or toyota have platium plugs for $6 a plug wich would be the same as the NGKs

I had a simular problem with my rb30. At first we thought it was the dizzy and rotor button but turned out to be the crank angle sensor. However mine was not doing it all of the time. Hopefully this helps you and doesn't send you on a wild goose chase like i had.

the cas is part of the dizzy on rb30es

And they suck to diagnose without a decent graphing multimeter. Lol.

Would you describe it as in in-consistent miss, or a proper limiter? Does it do it worse under load,and does engine temp affect anything? And is the engine stock-standard minus the conversion bit or has it been modified?

engine is stock dose it hot dont know about cold as i dont push it hard when cold

engine revs fine like normal untill 4-4500 under load with no load it will rev freely past 4-4500

Yeah, I'm leaning towards coils and/or plugs. Keep in mind guys if this engine is stock, might have something to do with 4500rpm being the point it bumps the boost up to 7psi. While this is hardly high boost, if the plugs or coils are on their way out it might be enough to cause breakdown in the spark.

That's what I was thinking with the hot/cold question, as coils that are starting to fail will play up alot more than once they get hot. It revs fine with no load? I'd be saying most likely an ignition problem, otherwise it could be a fuel problem (was it diesel before and did you flush the tank properly? Pressure problem? Blocked injectors?)

Have you checked the plugs and tried gapping them down to the .7-.8 range to see if it improves at all?

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
