Hey i was just wondering if it sounds correct that coil packs would play up at only 14psi?

My cars getting tuned with A GT3082R turbo and the tuner said that 14-15 pound boost and the car is breaking up.

Just wondering if this sounds normal, cause i know ppl have run 14 psi with the standard turbo without upgrading the coilpacks. And if it is normal how much am i lookin to spend to get a set?

wat did he get ya for?

Welding a few runs inside the intake pipe to stop turbulance... said it would help steady the car when on idle. that wasn't much though.

Also said he had to re-drill and tap the holes that hold the throttle position sensor on. said the tps was coming loose after a few runs. Since the cars an hour and a half away i cant see it so i just have to say yeah.. do it. But its done now and im pickin it up just tuned to 13psi, no more coin

Before you go spending money and changing coil packs, check that your plugs are gapped at 0.8mm that might help the breaking down with the higher boost.

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
