Hey all just have a problem thats kinda annoying me atm with the three two, the car has been starting to surge under boost a bit lately at around 4500rpm and upwards on 14psi and when I turn the boost up to 18 It gets worse. I know its not the plugs and the car is not missfiring at all Ive gapped the plugs to 0.8mm and cleaned the coil packs and all connections. the car has a HKS GT2530 turbo, front mount, GTR resistor pack n injectors, Z32 Air Flow Meter, pod, turbosmart dual stage boost controller and full 3 inch exhaust cat back but legal DB so not that loud.

Just would like to know why car surges under boost and if anyone else has the problem?

the car has an upgraded in tank fuel pump not sure about filter tho i will change that n see how i go... should I earth the fuel pump to the chassis to prevent the low rpm stalling?

Well by the looks of the fuel filter its got some age to it :) I guess i will have to de-pressurise the fuel system prior to taking the old one out but cant read jap on the fuse cover so unsure which relay to take out? and anyone know what the fuel filter model number is by chance?

URAS - ECU was nistuned by PITS a fair while ago ive made a few changes since then so might be time for a new tune, im thinking of taking it to mercury motorsports after I buy a different exhaust thats not so restrictive :)

Cheers for the wisdom

I reckon you have compressor surge, because the ECU can't properly control the combustion process at 14 and 18 psi. Either back the boost off a bit, or get a retune for the boost levels you are running.

if its only just recently starting doing it i would assume its the filter, pop the fuel filler out to loose some of the pressure and take out the filter.

had similar issues on a trust turbo kitted CA, changed the filter and made a suprisingly big difference. filters are so cheap you may aswell give it a shot.

Well im going to change the fuel filter today and leave boost at 14 and see how I go. Dont think its compressor surge ive seen a video of that on youtube its pretty hectic, my power curve is just bumpy under boost :D How do i de pressurise the fuel system?

URAS whats a TP load limit?

De-pressurise?

You pull the hose off the filter and make sure it's pointing down :D

Or, you can pull the fuel pump relay, or you can disconnect the plug for the fuel pump at the tank and crank it over.....either way, fuel if going to get on your floor so you might as well save yourself some work.

Just unscrew the fuel cap before you do otherwise the tank pressure will cause the fuel to just keep flowing out the hose.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
