so ive fitted a ally rad fmc and oilcooler with push fit pipes and a intercoolerand clipped and replaced most of the hoses in the engine bay

the intercooler mad the usual flat spot so i purchased a pfc and datalogit remapped it andsorted out .The oil cooler made a massive difference as the oil temp would be 105 degrees when being pushed no its max is 90 degrees so thums up to that

ive fitted a carbon splitter i made to the spec2 bumper as i dont like the aftermarket bumpers

got a spare engine which had lost compression so i stripped it to see what it was

3 pistons were shot but the bores were ok so sent everything off to get machined with new pistons and rods acl bearings ect and just got it all back

obviously looking to do some track work. what other plans for it, engine suspension brakes etc.

love the door trims..

ive just purchased a link g4 and a gt3071r my spare engine i have tomi pon b cams, suspension at the moment its cusco coil overs but for track there very under damped so i use a company called gaz do they are building me at set of coilovers that be weighted to the car and sprung correctly ! the car is built to fia standards which is basicly the British clubman race regulations but at the moment its just track use . I do all my own carbon work i have just made a bonnet to no pics as yet tho but i can do carbon infusion and wet lay so i have some fun with that

i feel a bit of a coward though as ive dropped the compression to 8.5.1 i here you boys run high with big horse power . Australia are alot more forward than us in tuning thats one of the reasons i went for the link and ditched the power fc plus i like mapping pressure verse rpm rather than maf verse rpm

      I would absolutely be starting with this idea over all other possibilities. It sounds f**ked.

      I would be cautious with those 2000/2200 CNG injectors, swap them out for a set of 1550 aka 1650 Bosch stainless ones before you take out a motor.

      Problem with 5th after manual swap on R32 GTS4

      By TheOrangeSkittle · Posted

      I tested them all a couple times, haven't tested it warm or wet though. The only seemingly really weird thing was the cylinders plug closest to the dash was pitch black nearly.  Doesn't smoke out of the exhaust or anything.    Also sorry everyone for the very late response. Got busy with work and all and didn't get around to fooling with the car for awhile.  But an update! I figured out the cause of the lean condition, my intercooler had at some point exploded or something. It's clearly separated in a spot with black oily buildup around the leak, and multiple leaks in various vacuum lines. I've replaced it and the vacuum lines, and gotten new clamps and there are 0 leaks now after doing a couple smoke tests.   The car now runs significantly better and the exhaust doesn't overheat anymore. I still have the main problem though where the engine feels like I'm lugging it around sub 3500rpm in any gear besides 1st, 2nd It's less noticeable but 3rd anything under 3.5k and I need to downshift or the engine is clearly struggling when trying to accelerate at all, 4th is the exact same, sub 3.5k engine won't accelerate and its hard to bring it back up to speed, 5th gear doesn't feel like the car is going to straight up fall apart now but it still can't pull 5th. It slowly loses speed and rpm and ANY gas I give I can feel the shakes from the engine and it slowly dying. If I ever so lightly give it gas it will slowly and nicely decel till around 2k rpm instead of lugging. But it cannot accelerate at all or maintain speed.   If I go from first gear at 5 or 6krpm and then shift to second it also feels like it's struggling to make power till above 3krpm if trying to accelerate but I can cruise around parking lots at around 1-2krpm just fine in 2nd. It's just when accelerating hard it and changing gear you really notice it die down.  But even if you shift at way lower rpms it does the same thing till somewhere above 3k.  As far as I'm aware it's got r32 gtr transmission gear ratios with gts4 diffs. The tire size is 205/55r16 91h Above 3500rpm the car pulls and runs and drives quite normally and the power from engine sounds and feels very smooth.  It's perfectly driveable at above 3.5krpm but I drive on the highway alot for work and it gets really bad gas mileage in 4th at 4.4krpm. Not that I'm looking for great gas mileage with such a car, just I'm sure being at around 3krpm would be significantly better for it.    Have appreciated all your guys help. I do understand the engine may just be f**ked from running with a boost leak though.    One final thing I'd like to add is I'm only shifting so high in the rpm range is because if I don't I will feel the engine lugging bad with 0 power in lower rpms, pretty much anytime off boost trying to accelerate it feels really bad.  Also when I say 3500 rpm I don't mean exactly. Just around there.
