Rb25 splutter !

Recommended Posts

Morning :)

little intro to the build r32 rb25 with a gtx3582 haltech platinum pro, 1000cc injectors 460 walbro fuel pump “maybe larger” with new lines and relay setup, new fuel lines an a FPR 1200. Made 350kw and Have had the car back now for a couple weeks haven’t had any real issue but this Sunday I got my first issue…. I generally fill up E85 at astron yagoona and with a quarter tank and on the way to a cars and coffee I stopped off at minto and put a full tank in it. 

after about 10 mins of driving and letting it all settle in the car started to misfire and splutter? nothing consistent but noticeable? on the way back spent about an hour on the free way at 110km/h cruising at about 3000rpm and this is where the car started to splutter intermittently and wouldn’t give me any boost if I dropped to 3rd gear would stop and let me have boost then start again when I would consistently cruise at 3000rpm this is where progressively the splutter would get more consistent. 
 

im about to check the fuel but the e85 at minto has always been consistent, I have aftermarket r35 coils and have pulled them apart and they look good to go and injectors sound to be doing there job? 

At idle I don’t have any issues when i let it idle for a while and gave it a few solid revs and nothing? When I got off the motor way and was driving city speeds/ traffic “50km/h” no splutter?
 

Could it be a:

fuel issue?

coil issue?

tune issue?

will go for another drive to see if it starts up again and see.

 

any helps appreciated!!!!

Do you have a fuel pressure sensor?

I do, didn’t see any issue with fuel pressure ? Tested the Jerry can I got came back at over 90% no want to check the fuel tank see what that comes to after mixing

Have tested fuel tank mixed with other e85 comes back to e90

Can you go for a drive, log all the channels and post the data up?

That would be too easy for diagnosing. It's more fun to play throwing darts aimlessly...

 

I vote change the O2 sensor. Reason? None, just a random dart thrown.

Love it haha, tuner came around and checked he said the timing was out and finds the Ross trigger kits to be a bit touch and go… back to his shop Thursday to fully diagnose but he thinks timing is the cause as we checked fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors, ignition and all came back good…. 
 

was very weird tho as only happened under sustained load cruising on the m7 at a sustained rpm and speed it would start sputtering felt like anti lag as when I put my foot down it would sputter or break up and not give me any boost then pull like a freight train when it gave me boost and was all at once

I would be suss that that behaviour was caused by the trigger kit. The trigger kit doesn't really care what the engine load is. It's just seeing moving metal next to sensors. It may fail to work at a particular engine speed, but wouldn't care if it was low load, medium load or high load. And it probably shouldn't change moment to moment. It's either good or bad, unless it is temperature dependent.

The symptoms you describe are typically fuel or spark delivery related.

That’s what I was thinking, builds all under warranty so hopefully they figure it out quickly and I can post what the issue is

I also would like to note that the r35 coils packs are aftermarket… and did note to him I feel that they are possibly breaking up under sustained load and heat as when I got home and let it idle had no issues and when I got off the freeway and started driving city speeds had no issues, so going to purchase hitachis.

first time really driving it for so long aswell as I’ve only had it for 1-2 weeks.

    • That was a really fast reply! Thank you very much. i will contact kelford.   Have a great day
    • Lifters (solid vs hydro) do not affect VCT. For cams, just contact Kelford in New Zealand and tell them what you want to do with the engine and that it is a solid converted 25. They'll know what to give you. FWIW... you can probably use any cam with either hydro or solids at that power level. By "any cam" I mean, there probably isn't a particular reason for the profile to be much different between the two.
    • Hello from Germany,   i build my RB25DET Series 2 -> Target 600hp i have now ordered solid lifters from Tomei for the cylinder head and will replace the original hydraulic lifters. Which cams can you recommend ? It is only a street car.... Maybe i order a Garrett GTW38 or something like that.   and what is with the VCT ? is it blocked with the solid lifters ?   Attention is a RB25DET with solid lifters!   Thank you for your help    
    • Diff arrived from Japan last week.  Nismo gt pro 1.5way for gtr. Still deciding whether to use 4.11 or 3.9 gears before installing.  Spent some time yesterday going over what's needed to finish engine bay fuel lines. Got a list so will order soon. Played with radiator placement and decided on stock location with bottom spaced a bit for a small amount of angle. So ordered standard mounts and rubbers. Reason for this is the 180sx was a pain to work on any of the coolers and was also going to take longer to fabricate mounts. Today made a bracket to mount the dbw throttle pedal. Factory location wasn't great to work with the pedal box. Luckily there's a rail that pedal box mounts too so did some measuring, drew up a design and got stuck in.  It's made of 3mm aluminium and has a lot of strength just need some bolts, washers and nuts to finish up.   If I get time tomorrow I'll pull the front bar and lights to start intercooler mounting, it will be flipped under the rad support which will require some trimming.
