R32 Gtr Misfiring Spluttering And Chewing Fuel

Hello All, Ive seem to have myself a bit of drama with my 32. The engine is freshly built, but pretty much standard apart from splitfire coils, pods and an exhaust. I've probably done about 400km driving since building the engine and it was running fine but now it seems that the car is running very rich, blowing black smoke and kinda hestitating while just cruising but really lacking the power when I get on boost. Since this problem has arose I've checked all the cooler pipe and cleaned the plugs because they were fould up and I'll be swapping the coils over today to see how that goes. Has anyone had a similar problem so I can try to isolate the problem. Any help would be great.

Cheers

Check the (ECU's) coolant temperature sensor to make sure it's still telling the truth to the ECU. It's possible that one or both oxy sensors shat themselves. This is especially possibly if you used a non oxy sensor safe silicone to do any gaskets when you put the motor back in.

Also if using a standard ecu, bridge the wires and see if it shows up any codes. I had a similar issue and turned out to be the AFM playing up. Pretty common for 32's and been that you've just done some work on it may have been hit or so during the work. All it takes is one dodgy wire lol

It's all sorted guys. Turned out to be the twin turbo pipe gasket. But I checked the codes aswell and turns out my afms were stuffed so I've fixed those and it's running sweet

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
