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..

    • 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
