Hi there!

I have a very strange problem!

I installed a Hypergear ATRG3 Turbo to my ER34 GTT, and from that moment the car stalls all the time..

Also went for a tune yesterday and the car was missfiring from 4000rpm till 6000rpm and then it knocks very HIGH

Like 116!!! That happened twice... So we stopped..

I have Apexi Power FC, Sard 800cc injectors, Sard FPR, Q45 Airflow, Stock elbow, 4" downpipe and back exhaust, 044 Bosch intank, OEM Coils(with electrical tape around them), HKS Iridium plugs(also changed them to Denso IK27), The car was working absolutely fine, before the turbo, injectors and Q45.

I've replaced all the vacuum lines with new ones before the tune(because i thought the idle problem was something leaking)..

The afr's are great and they are not flactuating(when missfiring and knocking) and that is very strange..

Id say its your coilpacks that electrical tape might fix them for when running low boost but when you start putting boost in theyll missfire again thats what happened to me so I just put in spitfires with ngk bcp7es spark plugs

youve changed so many items all at once, it could be any of those

to eliminate the afm, can you go back the std AFM and see if it idles and runs normally with stock AFM

obviously dont load it up, just idle and plod around

if it works, then new AFM is either set wrong, mangled, damaged, wrong AFM or mangled wiring

if it doesnt work (ie problem still present) then youve eliminated the AFM being the cause

i would look at injectors and how they are setup

if the coilpacks are toast, they would have been toast on the standard turbo as well, and it wouldn't make it not idle

No, but my car also used to stall all the time before it was tuned with Sard 880CC injectors in them... :)

It was stalling after i replaced the turbo only(before the AFM and injectors..)

The injectors are set correct, also the AFM is correct..

I taped the coils but i do not know if it is correct, i taped them from the plugs and below the place the screws are..

Should i tape them all the way up?

Also when the turbo was installed one ground(from manifold to chassis) was cut BUT not replaced, could this be THAT bad??

coilpacks are a devil of a problem.. that and the ignitor..

it may seem to be running fine, and then you change somethign which doesn't even remotely seem to be related to the coilpacks or ignitor, but they start giving problems.. best yo uchange them and give it a shot..good luck

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
