So my car was missing under boost...I tried second hand yellowjackets and new plugs at 0.8... Still misses...

Then I do a turbo upgrade with pretty much everything new.. Both manifolds, injectors PFC fuel pump etc.... Still misses...

Today I went and bought new splitfires and put em in...miss got worse.... Now it's like really loud backfiring... Different to before.

Has anyone got any ideas to help me solve this problem.

Youve added a shit load of stuff to the equation now....should have sorted it before the upgrade, but still check CAS and make sure the blue plug on the ecu is in evenly, pressing in the ends and not over tightening the 10mm bolt, And I assume u changed the afm to Z32?

When you say backfire, on accel or decel?

Yeah it's missing on accel and sounds almost like a rev limiter with lots of little backfires..

Yeah it's a z32 afm and Toshi tuned it, we did what we could but we stopped when it was missing and I was going to go back and finish the tune once it's fixed.

Try gapping down your plugs to 0.6-0.65. I just did that and sorted my cutting problem at 0.8 Bar. Now good all the way to 1.4 Bar. I think my coils are loosing power so confirms that it is spark related.

Running that gap now with no probs at all, until the shop warms up to re-mount my coils (I run bosch coil set-up).

Dont think its actually the coils..For reference my splitfires had enough juice to run a gtx30 @20psi with wmi and 1.1mm gap

Sounds like an electrical gremlin....As said before check coil pack loom, ignitor if you have one, also make sure all earthing on the engine and batt terminals are clean and tight and again CAS

What plugs you running?

So if you get mad backfiring an high in the rev range it could be leaning out coz of the pump?

Definitely, mine did the same thing today on the dyno, changed coils, gapped plugs, no change. Ended up being one of the pos Walbro 342's not pumping properly. It seems they need to be fully submerged to operate at maximum flow, unless its just faulty... I was hoping the deatschwerks didn't have the same design flaw as this fault was occurring at 1/3 tank.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
