Hey guys, I'm new here. Big question, have done a search. Found nothing.

Here goes, hopfully some one has a clue.

I'm trying to avoid posting a video..

So end of last year, I decided to go the waste spark set,

because I had given up with the awful underload/rev missfire.

After reading lots of love it or hate it.

As far a I know, i've wired it all up correct. power is getting to where it

needs to go.

First start after installed it turns over, idles and runs. No misfires or anything.

Now the fun.

Boost gauge reads in bar, so bear with me.

From 0 to .5 boost it runs clean through. Any more than .5

All hell breaks loose, it just cuts out like speed cut but worse.

(This is hard to explain)

It wont rev or come on any more boost, under load. i.e foot flat.

Now, in a 2nd gear pull, with light throttle it will rev all the way to rev cut

with no fuel/boost cut at all.

Quick summ.

Light load, 2nd gear, revs fine.

Under full load, .5 bar/4k RPM boost/fuel cut. wont rev or boost anymore.

Run Diagnostic, came back everything is ok.

Need help because I want to make sure it runs on waste spark before

I change it back to coil.

Thanks.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
