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

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
