Almost feels like an old dodgy carby! Idles rough as shoots fuel out the back and get even rougher if I touch the throttle and stalls. I have driven a few times when cold, if I stop instead of rolling through say a giveway sign, the car will stop and cant be started for a few mins, only then holding the throttle flat (like a carby) will it start again. Other than that any attempts earlier it'll just keep winding over and getting too much fuel. 120psi across all 6 so its getting tired but doesnt use or blow smoke.

Also to add to my other post about rough, sluggish between gear changes at times, slowly feed the loud pedal its normally ok, but mash it and grab 3rd it runs rough like its dropped a cylinder untill I back right off, let it coast then re apply the throttle

It was doing it with my stock coil packs, now ive put ls1 coils on and still doing it. .8 for the plugs. No smoke test as yet, only an issue really when cold or occasionally after a flogging. My afr gauge reads fine however I suspect the fuel pump may be a problem

Are you using a real wideband or those stupid narrowband gauges that show absolutely nothing but flashing lights.

By the way, LS coils will need more ignition dwell time to work properly. Given the fact you're using a stock ECU I am under the assumption there isn't enough spark generated

45psi base. Thing is, first cold start is shit as any throttle input it runs even rougher and sometimes stalls and will crank over for about 15 seconds then fire like its flooded! Fuel pump appears to work fine as its holding 10.4 afrs at full throttle. Ive changed afm cas tps ecu fpr and still doing it. Does it occasionally between 2nd and 3rd shits where I have to back off coast for a bit and re apply throttle to run smooth again

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!

    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
