going for my tune very soon so i need some tips and advice.

i have my gt30 on my manifold with external gate welded off it. Runs ok but stalls if i hit boost then back off, it does no stall if i down gear.

any one else had this trouble ?
do i keep my airflow meter in the stock position ?
and the injectors im looking at buying are bosch1000cc. if they are 14mm top 48mm in length and 14mm bottom they should drop straight in to the standard r34 fuel rail true or false ?

You have a GT30 externally gated and haven't tuned the car yet?

Sounds like afm reversion, can you post pics of the intake setup?

I would love to help you out with the injectors but the guy supplying them should be doing that, surely.

ive had that problem of the stalling so will be interested to hear if you fix it, once you get it tuned you'll be loving it, nothing like an angry rb and E85 is a must :P

also talk to injectorsonline, they'll help you... another great supplier

Can I test if its the bov if I disconnect it? Or does it have to plum backed though the standard pipe

Needs to be plumb back, flutter is still going to cause issues with air flow.

I think the issue will be with reversion though. That AFM is too close to the turbo there, and your intake pipe only has one bend in it. An 'S' shape would be better, and the AFM should be a bit further away from the turbo. Really you should be extending that intake pipe anyway, you've got that pod filter sitting right in the hottest part of the engine bay.

My plan is to reuse the standard air box. The pod set up is just temporary. I want it to be clean and easy for my tuner to work with, and the more stock looking the better.

Best to fix the reversion issue before giving it to the tuner. Shouldn't be too hard to setup so that it can still be temporary, that intake clearly isn't going to work with the standard air box as it is anyway. I would suggest welding another 90 degree bend onto that intake pipe, one that positions the intake so that it can still work with the standard air box. Or at the very least, buy a 90 degree silicon joiner and use that for now.

With any luck, that will position the AFM far enough away from the turbo, and the two bends in the intake pipe should help prevent any reversion as well.

You should never tune teh car with one type of filter on it (pod) and then change to another sort (airbox). The airflow pattern into the AFM will differ between the two giving slightly different signals for the same quantity of air (or the other way of looking at it, at the same AFM signal you'll have a different amount of air flowing). This is of course completely mental. The only way to do it is to keep the same filter setup.

When I first turn on the car it idles and runs fine. But let's just say if I go shopping and come back after 30 mins the car runs really bad. It seems like if the car is flooding or the plugs are fouling up !

Any ideas? it's just started last night !

Change the plugs about 3weeks ago

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
