hey guys, this afternoon i changed my oil, oil filter and fuel filter, fixed up some bad earth wires from battery to the body and tried to install turbo timer, when i went to start my car it fired up find and the turbo timer worked as well, after rechecking the oil level i went to drive the car and as soon as i hit boost the car broke down really bad, i putted home and let it idle and it was fine but as soon as i revved it it starts missfiring really really bad and backfires extreamly loud sounds like gun shots, i think a bit of oil got on the first coil pack so i took it off and wiped it off as much i could and cleaned where the plug sits, i left the car for a while and unplugged the turbo timer completly and went for a drive it started missing again but only on boost so i kept off boost and tried to go back home then all of a sudden it misses all the time now i can even take off with out it breaking down and backfiring really loud, i think it mite be a leaking injector or a few but not sure how to find out, its undrivable cause as soon as i touch the accelerator is breaks down and pops, my fuel gauge has gone down 1/4 tank and i only done about 5km but had it sitting there idling a for 20 min or so. is there any way to confirm leaking injectors or what? i dont wanna have to take em out and find they are fine, any one else had the same problems? sorry for the long post and help would be great thanks.

did you unplug the AFM?

i would check that connection and maybe give that a clean first

it seems odd that you would only do a service and then all of a sudden you would find that "a few" injectors were leaking? not likely...

maybe also check that you have earthed the battery properly and that there isn't a loose connection somethere at the negative terminal

My guess, the ECU has gone into limp home mode. You shorted out something when you were playing around with the wiring or you have left a connector unpluged. Check the error codes, that will tell you what WAS wrong. Then reset the ECU and take it for a drive, check for error codes, that will tell you what is wrong NOW. Then fix what it is that the error codes are telling you is wrong.

If you don't know how to rear the error codes or reset the ECU then do a search. Plenty of info on the forum.

PS. turbo timers are a waste of oxygen, just make it easier for someone to steal your car. What dod you have a turbo timer for? Cooling dowwn the turbo? What about a gearbox timer? Or a brake timer? They will be just as hot as your turbo. Cool it all down, do a slow lap of the block before you park it.

:D cheers :D

why does every1 diss turbo timers?

i know when im runnin late for work i dont wanna sit in my car or go really slow 2 work just casue "you dont need them"

i use mine alot

because if you crash your car and are unconscious in the drivers seat the timer will keep petrol flowing to the engine bay....nice way to fuel a fire id say :D

ok guys, thanks for the help, the car fixed it self i think, i worked some more on it, changed plugs back over to old ones and it didnt start at all then changed back and it still didnt start.. i started swearing at it uncontrollably then my dad came out and started it and it worked fine! i HATE cars.. argh. yea turbo timer is more wank factor. cheers

Driving flat stick doesn't really get you to work that much quicker. :D

Light to moderate on boost you don't need to leave the car running, just be sure turning the car off is the last thing you do before getting out the car, this gives the turbo time to spin down.

    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
    • Maybe I should have written that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
