Hi Alex

Sounds like you have done a lot of maintainence to that engine with new timing chain and pulleys. Has the motor done many Km?

You are in summer now but if you have the trans coller fitted, perhaps it is taking longer for the transmission to warm up with the extra cooling. A lot of people here fitted a thermo switch in the trans cooler line so that at start up the transmission gets to operating temperature before diverting to the cooler.

When you highflowed the turbo, did they change your wastegate actuator? Is it possible that it does not hold as much pressure as the factory actuator?

It does sound like you drive your car fairly hard, these motors do use a lot of fuel when they are cold and also when pushed hard. They are far from an economical vehicle.

It sounds like some of the high fuel usage is determine by your foot and perhaps the other is to do with the motor thinking it is cool and the ECU suppling more fuel.

Good luck wioth the solution.

Cheers

Andy

Russia? Would Eugene be able to help?

No, I think :)

Hi Alex

Not many, the change was done with the odometer showing ~130000.

The previous owner hadn't maintained the car properly and didn't do the oil change in time, this resulted in early turbocharger death and also, right headlittle chain tensioner didn't work, so the chain became weak and vtc pulley has broken.

No and again no! Cold transmission works perfect in my case. And there are no engine restrictions for too cold transmission, only when it's overheated the boost lowers to 0.5

This only depends on engine temp, not the a/t..

Yesterday I've directly powered the fuel pump and perhaps, that was the solution! Car starts very quick now, and I'm feeling like boost is always as it should be. The car pulls hard and has better reaction to the throttle. Nothing to say about fuel consumption though, but I hope it will be lower too.

Not loudly announcing all the problems are gone, too little time has passed, but Scott, THANK YOU! If you somewhen come to Moscow -- let me know, we'll drink some right vodka ))

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

      Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
