ok, finally finished putting the intercooler on yesterday... took it out for a test drive... gave it a hit and as soon as the boost comes on around 5000 RPM the car just starts backfiring (atleast it sounds like backfiring) and it doesnt even move past the revs... the boost has gone up cuz of the fmic but im not sure how much because I dont have a boost guage put in yet...

this problem still occured before i put the fmic on but it was no way near as bad as now... it used to mainly do it in 2nd gear when i put my foot down... but still used to hit redline eventually (while backfiring between 5000 to Redline)...

my mate told me to change my sparkplugs which i did while i had the car apart for the fmic... but i only changed 4 out of 6 cuz i snapped 2 of them while putting them on... could that be it?

or do you think its fuel... maybe injectors? ive got no idea to be honest... complete noob on this sorta stuff

the car drives fine if you dont punch it... if you slowly take it to redline it will go there no problem... no backfiring at all... but if you give it a hit it just stops going past 5000 and starts backfiring like crazy

HELP PLEASE

oh btw who knows any decent shops in western sydney (blacktown area) where i can go to get them to look at it...

Sounds like spark issues, maybe gap your plugs down to say 0.8mm....but your tune is not coping with the extra boost provided by the fmic. Just make sure your not getting det, cos you will destroy that motor.

You need a tuner, buy a magazine and look for ads...........

dont worry guys i fixed it...

turned out i had to tpiece a pipe and run it to another pipe that was hooked up to the old intercooler piping...

blardi japanese instructions... had to guess everything lol..

thanks anyways...

no boost controller yet... profec b going in about a fortnight... stock ecu... standard boost... stock boost guage doesnt show it going past 6psi..

pretty sure it is running rich...

but changing the spark plugs did make a slight difference..

stock boost guage dont show psi buddy..

my guess is u were hitting past 12psi.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
