Help With Misfiring Problem On Boost

After returning from europe and picking my car up from the paint shop it has started to misfire on boost. now while i was away an auto electrician was called in, with out me knowing, to take a look at a problem with the car not starting which he ended up replacing the plugs with NGK platinums? (are they good?) which apparently fixed the starting problem....

anyways driving it home when hitting any boost over 0.4bar it would misfire.

now a theory i have is this misfiring only seems to happen when the injectors are at full duty cycle, the reason being is i have a tomei eprom which runs very rich. to my understanding its programmed to dump max fuel soon as the turbo spools up. when i got home i swapped the eprom for a toshi one i recently got thats tuned alot leaner but rich at hi boost (at my request) and the problem was gone but only when running upto 1.08 bar. when i turn the boost up over 1.1bar the problem reappears...

now its an RB20 with a hks2510 and GTR injectors 040pump so im assuming at 1bar with the leaner toshi tuned eprom the injectors are yet to reach max duty cycle but anything over that the injectors are at max duty which is where the problem occurs.

i have also been told that maybe the gap of the plugs fitted may be the cause of the misfiring but why would the problem behave differently between the 2 eproms, unless these particular plugs cant cope with all the fuel ?!?

im yet to learn generally about spark plug gaps and associated tuning problems.

maybe a semi blocked injector?

both the panel shop and auto sparky have claimed no responsability as the car ran ok whilst in their care. (moving it around the yard at idle).... MOFO's

any help appreciated guys!!

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah 路 Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline 路 Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz 路 Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
