Hi again guys and girls.

Firstly every one who has replied to my previous topics, thanks.

Can some one tell me why whenever i give my car( R32 GTS4 Turbo) full boot i get full boost and get an intermittent backfiring. I've got new Spark Plugs gapped to 0.8mm, New Splitfire Coil Packs, and Running 11PSI.

I'm thinking my car is running way to rich!!

Other mods- Turbo back Exhaust, pod filter and HDI Boost Controller.

Any help or advice is well received.

Mark :(

Car has not been tuned, as i've been told by x-speed that the won't tune factory computers, i haven't bee n to any other performance shops yet though, so help with that would be good

no loss of power although does feel a sluggish occassionally. if i jsu raise the foot off a lil bit all is good again...

Theres your problem, you should take it to another workshop.

Where abouts are you located. If its not to much of a hassle take it to hyperdrive. Andrew is very helpful.

I'm living in Leeming at the moment, soon to be living in Thornlie.

Ah ok, i was under the impression that i need a retune at some stage. Hyperdrive, any others that people know of??

hehe, i thought x-speed were not as good as they make out to be, expensive to!!

depending on how far you want to go with the car.

If you only want to keep it mildly modified

Just get it remapped or nistune from hyperdrive. You probably wont get much or if any additional power but the car will function perfectly.

cool, cheers dude!!

If i wanted to take things a lil further wat u recommend??

Just get yourself an R33 series 1 turbo, and a stock ecu flash tune.

Whats that like $700 or less?

I dunno how much the R32 ECU retune costs. But a stock R33 turbo is about $300?

    • 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
