Hello All, Ive seem to have myself a bit of drama with my 32. The engine is freshly built, but pretty much standard apart from splitfire coils, pods and an exhaust. I've probably done about 400km driving since building the engine and it was running fine but now it seems that the car is running very rich, blowing black smoke and kinda hestitating while just cruising but really lacking the power when I get on boost. Since this problem has arose I've checked all the cooler pipe and cleaned the plugs because they were fould up and I'll be swapping the coils over today to see how that goes. Has anyone had a similar problem so I can try to isolate the problem. Any help would be great.

Cheers

Check the (ECU's) coolant temperature sensor to make sure it's still telling the truth to the ECU. It's possible that one or both oxy sensors shat themselves. This is especially possibly if you used a non oxy sensor safe silicone to do any gaskets when you put the motor back in.

Also if using a standard ecu, bridge the wires and see if it shows up any codes. I had a similar issue and turned out to be the AFM playing up. Pretty common for 32's and been that you've just done some work on it may have been hit or so during the work. All it takes is one dodgy wire lol

It's all sorted guys. Turned out to be the twin turbo pipe gasket. But I checked the codes aswell and turns out my afms were stuffed so I've fixed those and it's running sweet

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
