ok, so in my car from a stand still i am in 1st and i accelerate 100% throttle and then i hit 4-5,000 rpm and the power coming on just freezes but the boost goes up and the exhaust starts popping. If i take foot of a bit say lik down to 60 - 70% throttle and then ease it back on it over comes this problem momenteraly it also does this is 2nd. As you can see this seriously hinders the performance and you help would be appreciated. I think it is a coilover problem and i have read and search and found other topics that seeeem similar but not totally. the mechanic noticed it to but said would look at it next service i would just like to know what the problem is before i go so iam more familiar with it when i take the car and know what the possiblities could be.

Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem , seems with your mods you are sufferring from overfueling, you may need to look at the apexi neo or SAFC II to fix this up, or it could be your coilpacks. Apexi neo can be picked up for around 400 bucks and a dyno tune for it will set you back about 240.

When was the last time you changed your spark plugs? Look at replacing them first if they're old.

Then I would recommend changing your O2 sensor if you've never done it (fuel filter couldn't hurt either). Should only cost ya about $110ish.

I used to have some slight popping whilst driving around. After changing those two things it no longer does it, and now I get much better fuel economy. win win.

If you still have problems then start looking at coilpacks and spark plugs gapping.

Sounds similar to a problem I have been having.

My advice is to replace spark plugs, O2 sensor and then coil pack. In that order. :woot:

There are ways to check if coils are giving you grief, probably in that list of posts from govich. Check em out.

Cheers.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
