struggling sound?????? more info, check ur pipes, boost control hoses, remove controller, start from there, new cooler second hand, new cooler or second hand

just had alook at the engine bay seems fine, no pipes out. yer when i give it to it, it struggles to hit high revs. when i got it in hi boost it does it bad, but when i got it on off mode just a minor bit. wouldnt be coz i got stock ecu?

Did you read what I posted? Also, how much boost are you running?

it only happens when i hit high boost, i read a few threads with similar problems and it results in coilpacks, but i dont want to buy them unless im 99% sure :S. by the way if you have faulty coil packs does that mean you get less km's from a tank? because ive been getting less km's recently

question guys, insted of making a new thread i thought id ask here. ive pretty much come to the conclusion my coil packs are on there way out. now im abit short on cash so i was thinking is it worth getting brand new nissan coil packs from justjap or should i save for yellow jackets. would the stock nissan coil packs handle my mods?

take it to a proffesionall

Sighh............ :laugh:

There are a couple wonderful tutorials in the DIY section about fixing coil packs yourself. Lowering the gap is a good idea too (on new plugs). Don't bother spending hundereds of $ until you have exhausted your $free.99 options first. DIY section. Search.

before you go looking at coils, pull your plugs out and see what gap they are and what condition they are in. if they are 1.1mm plugs and have been in there for quite a while they may have worn and the gap may be bigger than 1.1mm so just putting new plugs in will solve the problem and only cost you about $30.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
