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

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
