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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
