ok its a r34 gtt with basic bolt on mods on 12psi

first thing i noticed was on mainly cold starts on idle it stutters and pops at the exhaust

then i noticed on gentle driving it accelerates smoothly, but once i put my foot down it stutters badly and goes no where.

this happens when i hit full boost mainly

i was thinking shit spark plugs?

would appreciate any help asap

the pops in the exhaust have been there for aslong as i remember.

the stutter on idle on cold starts i noticed it about a week or 2 after the timing belt and water pump were replaced with new ones.

this part "on gentle driving it accelerates smoothly, but once i put my foot down it stutters badly and goes no where.

this happens when i hit full boost mainly" i noticed it months ago but has been getting worse ever since...

i have changed the intake pipe a couple of times during the past few months (from rubber to steel to rubber and now rubber with steel piece in it.

i also changed the afm (mine broke) and put stock airbox back on. i did this a few days before the timing belt was replaced

Something else you should consider is the factory 12.5psi boost cut.

Will cause major issues while at full boost.

Although, it does sound like a vacuum leak causing the dodgey idle etc.

Check for vacuum hoses that you might have not reconnected and check to make sure the timing has been set correctly. You may have just one problem causing everything or you may have a few problems all working together.

Hey There,

I had the same thing happen to mine after having the timing belt and water pump done, turned out it was the ignition timing was out by a quite a bit. I was thinking coil packs,sparks plugs,fuel pump etc $$$$ before finding the timing was out, I'd get your timing checked before running out and spending money unnecessarily. Hope that might help. cheers

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
