Car all back together but won't idle

I've got my car remodifed after compliance with my head back on and the damn thing won't idle. The car was only run a couple of times before it was demodified so i'm not totally sure but i'm pretty certain it didn't have these issues before.

The car, if its cold, will start first turn of the key and idle fine. Once the car heats up and the AC or head lights are turned on the car stalls. If you try to drive the car and brake and revs die down slowly it stalls. After it stalls you need to pump the accelerator to get it to start (sounds like a carby car) then it won't idle. It seems if its starving of fuel, but where and how?

Also since the car has issues at the moment i haven't been game to run any more than 0.5 bar boost, however the exhaust temp gets up around 900 degrees on this boost, where as on 1.4 bar previously (before de modified) it never got anywhere near that - yet again under fueling.

The Car has things like a greddy plenum, HKS Fcon V pro (AFMless) ECU, Tomei 270 degree cams, HKS GT2835 Pro S turbo etc.

Should i be able to run my AC and my head lights and still get the car to idle with these cams?

To me it seems like its starving of fuel but i have considered other issues like the TPS being out as we swapped the Throttle cables over for the greddy plenum, would this make a difference?

Thanks in advanced.

I'm pretty sure the TPS has to be within a set tolerence of 0 (e.g. 0.5%) before the AAC valve will attempt to control idle. So, yeah it does sound like it isn't set corectly. It idles fine when cold because the air regulator/cold air bypass valve is fully open.

ok, car seems to run a little better now, got rid of the PCV and blocked it. TPS is spot on!! Fuel pump is hard wired, Hopefully a decent tune and a power fc will sort out the remainder of the issue.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
