Iv just bought a r32 rb20det and it has a few problems. its sounds like its missing off 1 cylinder and not running right.

When i put my foot down on the pedal it drives for and then all of a sudden it jumps foward and looses power then comes back on.

Also when i slow down sometimes it drops down to 200-300rpm and then jump back up and some times it stalls. Its running a rough idle of inbettween 1000-1300.Also is blowing black smoke when coming on boost. my boss thinks maybe one of the injector could be blocked?

So far what iv done is replaced 1 coil and the coil loom. and replaced afm. And removed spark plugs and wirebrushed the ends as the were all very black i drove it for a day and removed plugs again and found that they were just as black again? i also removed the fuel filter and its pretty much brand new.

another thing is the bov is venting to atmosphere could that a probelm?

the other things im thinking about checking and cleaning acc valve, checking for vacum leaks around the pvc valve? and around the intake. maybe replace the the cas and tps? would i be able to use these off an rb20de? is there anything else you guys think could be the problem?

Also the car hadnt been driven for a while iv put more fuel but could there still be stale fuel or something like the causing a problem?

found its got nothing 2 do with the bov ,maybe thinking leaking injectors and the plugs are fouling like its running rich? also found after coming boost and going hard from 1st 2nd and almost 2 3rd after that it starts to die like shudders like theres not enough fuel getting to it? so it could be fuel pump?

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
