Hey guys so here are the technical specs

 

Rb25det series 2 neo manual

Fmic

Blitz pod

3 inch turbo back

Splitfire coil packs

 

Okay so the car runs fine for 10 mins and will come on boost fine and rev out though I only took it 5k as it was cold. This sputtering as if the traction control has come on the sound is like a limiter the same sound it makes when traction control comes on. Btw I leave traction co troll off because when it would turn on before it would cause knock and then the check engine light would come on. This problem has only occured after installing the splitfires. It happens no matter where in the rev range its just as soon as I got past vacuum and come on to positive pressure bit when it's cold it runs properly. The cars temperature gauge never comes up to halfway either I am replacing the thermostat not sure if this will fix it or if this is a coolant temp sensor.

 

If anyone has I had a similar cutting of power and popcorn sounding noise, point me in the right direction otherwise off to the shop.

So I have replaced spark plugs, have splitfires and replaced coil pack harness but whenever I put a bit of load on the car it just breaks up, I'm thinking now to do o2 sensor as I get a misfire on idle, I replaced thermostat as it never comes up to temp but it must be the coolant temp sensor. Basically whenever I give it more than a qtr throttle it sounds like the fuel cut you get when traction control would kick in.

There's no boost leak sadly, I had a boost leak and fixed it car was running fine until the splitfires went in it hold boost fine as I said will go to red line, I'm really leaning towards a dud o2 sensor as it deals with load and I have terrible fuel economy

It will drive fine when the car is completely cold and drives perfect for 10 mins im thinking between the o2 sensor and coolant tempo sensor throwing out the afr I also cleaned maf 3 weeks ago when I found the boost leak

Hey guys I think I've found the problem ive got extreme regarding from the cas, or pre ignition and why my fuel economy is so bad as well I found that a dodgy coolant temp sensor can cause this on skyline owners forum

Have you checked your sensor or just assume it is the issue?

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
