Your problem is called "missfiring". If you do a search on these forums (or even on Google) you will get a better understanding of what it is and how to solve it.

It could be as simple as needing new/lower gap spark plugs or replacement coilpacks.

It is also luck of the draw if you have std ECU as sometimes putting up boost will result in a loss of power, which happened with mine. Yes this was proven to me on a Dyno, and you may not end up a clean power curve especially in higher RPM's (R&R).

If it is perfectly fine at 7psi then it's not a misfire, I very much doubt it anyway. You're hitting R&R - some ECUs don't like more than factory boost. Only way around this is to get an aftermarket or piggyback ECU and tune the car for the higher boost. Do some supporting mods for it too.

Nah it will be missfiring if he is saying its coughing and spluttering, mine was the same when it was stock. Was fine on stock boost, as soon as we put it up to 10psi it kept missing and had to go to .8 plugs with the factory coil packs which were dying.

phil is right. it will be a missfire caused by a weak spark. once you wind the boost up the spark can't ignite the fuel due to it being weak. start by pulling out the plugs and checking the gap on them. if it is 1.1mm then gap them down to 0.8mm (or put a new set of copper plugs in pre-gapped at 0.8mm) and see if that fixes the problem. if it makes it better but doesn't fix the problem then you will need a new set of coils.

Thanks heaps for that, ive got a few more things to try but i will put that on the list if all else fails.

That's fine, but yea try what mad082, PM-R33 and lachlanw said to try. After all they probably have wayyyyyyyy more knowledge/experience than me. BTW search function is pretty handy as most topics have already been covered.

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
