Hey guys!

Finally got my car approx 2 weeks ago and already popping with questions! Got my car back from the shop today (major service) and apparently the car is only going three quarters as fast as it should be! I tried to research the problem but have no flippin' idea what I'm looking for!

Apparently when you put the foot down the turbo.. cuts in and out? like it's there, then not there, then there again. I didn't notice this until I put my foot down to understand what the mechanic was on about. He said it may be electrical(went into jargon I couldn't understand lol)? I was hoping for some input/thoughts to give the mechanic the next time I see him as they charge lots by the hour lol

Only changes done (related to problem) is the boost restricter being removed. so instead of 7psi, it's 14psi. But I don't see the boost gauge use all 14 pounds. Apparently this isn't the problem, I don't know. Any ideas would be fantastic!

Cheers in advance guys!

Does it have a k & n filter that use oil, if over oiled it will suck through the filter onto the maf and affect your reading, specially on boost. Check your coil packs for cracks and for fouled plugs. sense you just got it you should hit up the dyno or road test and check your AFR just for piece of mind. List any mods as this will help us help u

Did they change your spark plugs on the major service? My guess is its missing and if they installed new plugs they might just need to be regapped. Is this happening all the way through the rev range or just on boost when applying WOT?

Yeah plugs were changed during the service. This "misfiring", "cutting" is only happening when I put my foot down.

google missfire and see if a more professional description matches with what your experiencing

I've had a squizz through and watched a few vids but they sound more serious than what mine is, I have no leaks, car idles no problem.

As a free bump! my GTS-T is doing the same thing. Once you get over 7psi, even 8psi! it feels like its hitting a rev limiter/ tapping the accelerator on and off. yet if i leave the car on 7psi i can flog the crap outta her and she's happy.

Op. Running nore boost will cause you to run out of spark aka missfiring. Its got shitall to do with idle unless a coil pack dies.

Second dude. Youre either hitting too much boost which the ecu is cutting you off or you also are running out of spark.

Change spark gaps up boost.

Yeah had some ideas, apparently my car is tuned to handle unleaded 95 when I've been putting in premium 98. Doubt that'll have anything to do with it. Checked the air flow sensors and they seem fine. Still got the cutting in and out happening though. Will check out other probs tomorrow!

Try regapping the spark plugs down to .8mm. Otherwise u may need some splitfre coilpacks.

+1^^^

This fixed my popping/slight miss fire under hard acceleration on 18psi

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
