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

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
