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?

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
