Possible things I can think of:

Loom from Engine > Ignitor

Ignitor

Loom from Ignitor > Coilpack

Coilpack

Coilpack Tips

Sparkplugs

o2 sensors

AFM

Injector stuck open

Intercooler leak

SO Ive started going through and changing items,

Loom from Engine > Ignitor

Ignitor

Loom from Ignitor > Coilpack

Coilpack

Coilpack Tips

Sparkplugs - cleaned and gapped, will replace with new ones asap

o2 sensors Cut and rejoined to install

AFM

Injector stuck open

Intercooler leak

Car had dead o2 sensors when bought, they have been replaced at the same time as some other items:

2 New injectors, all new o-rings

02 sensors replaced

FMIC taken off

Clutch installed

Intercooler pipes around turbos taken off.

Car is running very rich, any other suggestions as too what it could be would be much appreciated,

Bad batch of fuel?

How does it idle (and what does it show the vacuum pressure as when idling)?

If you don't run a FPR, look into the pressure regulator

Does your ECU give you an error code(s)?

How is compression in each cylinder?

Ill also add, I started and drove it in Japan, just up and down the road and it idled fine, but when I first picked it up in aus it had the front bar moved and the intercooler hoses on both ends off. It was all removed in Japan.

Havent got it to idle since, Compression test came up with 155-153psi across all cylinders.

ok, that changes things. if the only thing that's changed since it was driving fine japan is piping then most likely you have a leak somewhere, or something is not connected properly (ie hoses back to front, swapped etc). you need to go over all the piping again. why was piping removed between here and japan?

I assume it was to remove the front bar for shipping, and they hadn't done it before, all bolts to remove the front lip from the front bar had been removed and kept in bag.

the symptoms really do point to an air leak. even more so considering the chain of events:

car started, idled and drove fine.

you left car

piping was removed/messed with

piping was replaced

car wont idle, run or drive properly

I know where I'd be hunting the problem. leaks wont always be visible to the naked eye. go over every piece of induction piping.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
