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

    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
