so after about 3 months i have my cefiro running again, so current specs are custom grind cams,gt35r turbo running 7psi and a 4 inch to 3 inch reducer until i get the money to get the ems fitted and tuned,forward facing plenumwith 4 inch throttle body, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, 38psi fuel pressure with a walbro 255 intank pump.

current issue is under load it will chug and not want to rev, have set the tps up with .5 v closed 4.1 v full open,free reving it will rev fine all the way to the liminter but sometimes it has a flat spot but can rev through it.

im wondering if

a)afm is to close to inlet of turbo, is about a foot away atm but was further away and still did the same issue.

b) injectors are full of shit from sitting in open air for so long.

c) i do have a air leak at the manafold to head but carnt see this causing it to run the way it does.

d) coil pack issue, has new plugs gapped down to .8mm, going to pull the coils out 2moz and give them a good coat of liquid rubber.

just need the car to drive to work and back for a week or 2 while the other car is getting fixed.

cheers tim

ok well today i replaced the fuel filter threw some injecter cleaner in the tank, cleaned the maf out.

now got it running a bit better, can actually drive it to work thankgod. have a mate with a smoke machine ile throw that in the intake 2moz and see if theres any boost leaks. coils im going to pull them out and coat them in some liquid tape to make sure there not arching out in saying that i carnt see and sparks at night from them so may aswell clean the contact of the coils as well.

at the moment its running like crap on light throttle backfires while crusing, but once its got 7 psi in it it pulls f**king hard.

at idle you can see the black smoke puffing out the exhaust is currently running 2 bar fuel pressure at idle

ok so update, pulled the coils out and cleaned the contact points and covered them iin liquid tape,also regaped plugs down to 0.60mm, reset the timeing to 15 below, runs alot better now, can actually drive it to work, reset the tps and took it for a drive, blowing massive amount of black smoke while crusing and idleing, running 2.4 bar fuel pressure, any ideas why its so rich at idle?

also when its cold it backfires at idle, fairly loud aswell,dosnt take long to fill the house up with smoke, housemate dosnt like that at 8am lol

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
