just had the car for 2 weeks and somthing has died, on start the car doest like to rev above 3000, if i try to rev it, it overfuels and dies. if i press and hold the throttle, the rpm will jump 500rpm and then it will gradually stall, if i keep stabing at the throttle it will cough and splutter but the revs build up over 2500-3000 and its fine. once the car is warm its fine for about 10-20 min of driving then it will start happening again but it will happen randomly, could happen 4-6 times every 300m or could happen once and then run for another 20 min with no problem. ive run a multimeter over the coolent temp, O2 sensors, AFM and TPS (throttle positon sensor), they all seem fine. ive ran the car and unpluged sensors (AFM's, TPS, O2 sensors, coolent temp) and pushed a few more but it doesnt have the same problem. ive read a few forums and all i can come up with is the ECU is gone, or there is a bad connection in the wiring. motor is mostly stock cept for cam gears, boost contoller. Has a Mines ECU so i can't run diagnostic's on the ECU. Anyone have any idea's? is there a cold start control valve on the r33 rb26?

not sure, i heard that mines ecu's are bad for aus hence why im going to a power fc as soon as possible, id say its a normal plug and play mines ecu, only other thing would be i changed the plugs and it started happening, the standard coilpacks look fairly heat effected, i put in new denso plugs, same as i ran on my old 33 gtst, i have new superspark coil packs that i plan to put in on the weekend, hope its as simple as that tho im doubtful...

Sounds like typical AFM issues.

Simply unplugging won't do anything. It's an intermittent error within the AFM itself.

Try swapping with a known working set. I'd say it'll be fine then.

Failing that, put a stock ECU in and see what happens.

i kinda ruled out AFM because its not a limp mode problem, ive had that before, it def feels like a over fuel prob. should be getting a power fc very soon, if i cant fix it by then, should they be able to fault find while tuning?

put my old plugs back in today, didnt miss a beat. the denso's i put in where the same as Hi Power Racing put in my 33 gtst when the power fc was installed and tuned. the denso's in the gtst where still going strong 18 months after the tune when i sold the car. thanks for your help and input guys.

Intermittent AFM signal problems do not cause the car to go into limp home mode.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
