R34 gtt loss of power problem


Recommended Posts

Hi so about a month and a half ago  my r34 just died on me and couldn't start it up again. 

Checked all the basics and then took it to a couple of mechanics and found one of the wires to do with the coils was shorting and kept blowing the fuse. So got that fixed and also put anew  coilpack loom in cause some of the connectors  were broken.

Now after I got the car back it feels like it has lost some power or lost its tune and it was also misfiring pretty bad at high boost/ high revs. 

I put some liquid tape and taped up the boots around the coil packs and that managed to fix the misfiring but that when I realised it definitley feels like it has less power then before. 

I have a boost dial which goes from 0.8 bar to 1.1 bar and it still runs and holds boost fine when I change it but it's most noticeable when I put it to 1.1 bar. And i think it runs a lot richer as it backfires on gear changes a lot more and uses up way more fuel.

i feel like the timing may have been messed up cause the other mechanic took the cas off and also unplugged the ecu while they were trying to fix the other problem. I haven't had a chance to check it yet but I should also add I have a link G4 Ecu that was tuned about 4 months ago. So it may have been set up differently to the factory timing settings. But from looking at the cas it looks like they marked it and put it back to where it was.

The other thing I was going to check is the fuel pump cause the mechanic reckons it may need replacing cause it wasn't pumping enough fuel. 

Any help would be appreciated I ve  been reading a lot of other posts with similar problems. But with all the different mods I guess it could complicate things. I'm still learning so am a bit of a novice but would like to try and fix myself as I used up most of my money on the first problem lol. Hopefully can avoid getting another tune as well.

You haven't actually listed your mods apart from the G4 ecu. Are you still running an AFM or have you got a MAP sensor? What kind of boost controller are you using? How much boost are you running and is it the stock turbo (1.1 bar is a bit OTT for a stock turbo)? If you have the stock fuel pump you may well be dues for a new one but if you can test the fuel pressure first that would be good to know. What do your plugs look like - have you changed them recently? Gapped them down to 0.8mm?

Oh ye sorry it has a map sensor and some kind of boost controller that goes with the link holset hx35 turbo still have to see what fuel pump I got I think it would be a walbro 500hp if not I'm definitely going to get one also got new iridium plugs when it got the tune gapped to 0.7

    • some people are still around weirdly enough - most people just use facebook now to ask the same 12 questions tho XD  
    • Omg Rezz! Yep we're still here and actually seeing a trickle of oldies coming back.  How's things? 
    • So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy. 
    • Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.
    • Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂
