Hey guys.. Just finished +ting an rb20de. As a de the motor was a good, strong, powerful motor.

I used:

RB20DET Manifold, Wastegate flange welded on.

RB20DET turbo

RB20DET j pipe

FMIC setup

Walbro 500hp Fuel Pump

Fuel Pressure Regulator

RB20DET ECU and Injectors

Adjusted timing all over the show..

Now when it is warm, and I go for it in second it boost and pulls fine, (4 psi spring)

As soon as I dump the clutch and sit on the spot doing a skid it 'farts and pops' around 4.5k - 5k revs.

But then boosting in a straight line it builds boost and pulls fine.

Anyone have any clues? Kinda feel as if its getting to much fuel, anyone know what the fuel pressure should be at at idle?

Tried to do a search, nothing came up.

Cheers

get new coils, and fix the fuel as well, stock map will being running 9-10:1 at that load if you are running more than stock boost, also plug gap, get it down to 0.8 or lower.

It will be a combination of running too rich and poor spark causing the misfire.

If it didn't he would have had to change it to make it run.

What do you mean? :huh: Or are you saying it wouldn't run at all so he changed it already.

The AFM wasn't listed as what he used/changed so I am assuming he is using the stock NA one, hence I asked if they're the same or not.

I've had a Z32 plugged into a car with the PowerFC reset and AFM set to default and it still started

If it was different it wouldn't drive at all or would drive so badly he would have noticed by now. Wouldn't just be a mild misfire, tune would be completely out.

So knowing that I would say it is A) not different, or B) he has already changed it.

Cheers for the input. FYI all RB AFMS are the same, apart from I think RB25DET which has the purple sticker

Anyway, with the same setup above the problem has fixed itself. Adjusted timing even more, and running a 7psi spring, and adjusted the Fuel Pressure down a little it is flipping quick. feels faster than a genuine 20det. Cheers!

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
