hey all, lately been having 2 problems with my car, most annoying one is missfiring randomly, just random times it will missfire cruising or standstill, but to remove of the misfiring i just slam the foot to the floor and build up boost and it will go away..... any ideas??? just changed to new sparkies, and had the splitfires in for about 5000km.

this really really pisses me off. car sounds all nice and roaring and then all of a sudden its a god damn tractor!

2nd problem is, if i come around a corner or i do burnouts the car will smoke up to a certain point and them it just cuts out, never used to do that. i hit about 4krpm and then even with foot to the floor the engine will just cut off, completely and just go into idle mode. never die, or stall, but just stay at the 700-1500rpm even with foot to the floor.

i dont have a traction control in the car, and even on full tank it will do this, i first thought it was a fuel related problem not getting petrol when swinging into corners.

any help would be appreciated.

splitfires were brand new, missfiring fixed, one joint on the plug loom was loose so didnt get a proper connection, fixed that and now seems fine *fingers crossed*, other problem still exists.

saving up for a Power FC after i get my FMIC and front plenum sorted out.

that top plenum is the biggest btch

problem will not be r&r, so ignore all posts about that. if it is only when cornering it is going to be an electrical issue where something is losing contact while cornering. i would hazzard a guess and say the afm. try checking the fault codes.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
