need of help

bout a month ago i changed plugs on my r33 gtst to ngk bcpr6e and gaped em to .8 mm after a small boost increase caused car to splutter.

This seemed to solve the problem, but i have just returned from a 10 day holiday to find its doing it again but worst.

Anyone have any ideas different plug? gap?

might not be just the plug....

If you were gone for ten days, yhe fuel in your tank would be pretty crap by now.....

Take your car for a long drive (not thrashing it too much, as your car will ping heaps!) Burn up all the old fuel, and put some fresh fuel in there... THEN take your car for a good 10 min thrashing......

If you notice it is still pinging pull back a bit.... dont over do it....

The purpose of this is to burn any deposits off your plugs...

Let us know how it goes after that...

car is fine, derr

was driving down to get some octane booster to breifly look over at boost gauge to find it was boosting at around 1.2 bar.

And after poping the bonnet i found the pipe on cheap arse boost controller had a large split, quick fix all is well.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
