hey guys ill keep this as short as i can. i just blow up my stock turb so i upgraded to a highflow (only because i came across a cheep one). i figured i might as well get a fmic and high flow cat and dump at the same time. so my mods are...

highflow turbo

hf cat

3.5 inch exhaused (maybe 3 inch)

manual boost control

manual safc

splitfire coil pack

stock ecu (which i no is not good)

i got it tuned and it only got 166rwkws. and its pinning after 5800rpms. i was wondering wtf is going on? if i get a pfc will that fix it or is it something else? any advice would be muchly apriciated, thanx. :(

If the tune is alright it could be your fuel pump. I think pinging's caused by your car running too lean.. backfiring is usually too rich. Although I know nothing about the quality of the manual SAFC's, I wouldn't imagine they'd be able to do too good of a job.

EDIT - what sort of fuel you running? 98 ron? BP ultimate etc? If running dodgy fuel your car will ping like crazy.

the thing is, before all the mods i was running 12psi getting 165rwkws, that was with smic, man boost cont and man safc. and stock turbo. and it was running like a dream.

rb25det? mate thats rubbish! mine got 180rwkw with only a pod and a turbo back exhaust!

but yes doesnt sound good at all. ive lost two engines, with virtually no warning whatsoever. i suggest you get it sorted asap.

yeah mate... 166rwkw seems low

=( i made 201rwkw with just a cat back and 10PSI 'manual boost controller'. fmic.

i was running to lean... think it was coil pack that killed mine hey... wasnt firing or not enuff fuel

i'd say check ur plugs... my number #6 was white and thats the chamber i got probs wif now..

since i boosted mine i've had the problem...

=( getting engine checked to see wats got damaged now :turned:

It is amazing, some of the things I read on here!

FYI, and its been said on here a million times....

PINGING or DETONATION = LEAN MIXTURES! (In other words) NOT ENOUGH FUEL is being burnt with the amount of air in the right ratio.

If you upgrade all the air inducting and expelling items so the motor is moving more air = YOU NEED MORE FUEL!!

POWER= AIR+FUEL BURNT! UPGRADE YOUR FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AS WELL!!

THEN Dyno tune to get the Air/Fuel Ratio RIGHT!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
