Sounds like you haven't done a full service on it. Replace the fuel filter as well if it hasn't been replaced in the past year.

Make sure you get BCPR6ES-8, if the store can't get -8, go elsewhere. Either that or you'll have to gap the 1.1mm plugs down to 0.8mm.

yeah funnily enough i just made another thread on general maintenance because my car doesn't start at all now. pretty sure it's fuel pump related. hoping to sort that out now by putting a new fuel pump and then continuing with the rest of the service.

if anyone has any other suggestions on why my car might not be starting, the threads here

The plugs with part number bcpr6es are gapped to 0.8mm. I've never seen any with -8 on the end. I've seen the -11 which are the 1.1mm version

I've bought BCPR6ES and they were 1.1mm. I also bought -8 ones (but can't remember what they said on the plug). dunno.gif

Unless I got ones that were boxed incorrectly or something.

well i replaced my fuel pump and fuel filter, car's running again. but that weird missfire or popping sound problem is still there.

going to replace sparks next week, hopefully that'll solve it.

 

try unplugging the boost sensor and blocking the vac line to it

that will alleviate the stock ecu doing its boost protection

 

Just FYI. I just re-installed my boost controller and wound the boost up (actually, it isn't controlling properly, so the boost wasn't actually under control).

Anyway - car boosted to >1 bar a few times and the ECU did not shut it down. This is R34 GTT ECU with Nistune but running standard GTT manual bin file. Boost sensor is all connected.

The only time the car chopped out was when boosting above about 10 psi in 4th gear. That would be TP cut I'm guessing. In 2nd gear it was happy to boost to 1.2 bar before I lifted back off without any sign the ECU was upset.

On that basis, I maintain and reinforce my position that the factory boost sensor will not cause trouble in the 10-12 psi region that the OP is having trouble in.

hmm thanks for that. pretty much guessing/hoping its the sparks or coils then.

ill reply back here as to how it goes

Its not hard to replace spark plus...Replace them with .8 gap and see what happens...

If that doesnt fix it, its the coilpacks

+1

so i replaced the spark plugs with 0.8mm gapped copper ngk ones. and now the car sounds like a wrx, its slow and its missing so much.

searched about it heaps, but still unsure what it could be =\

well thanks for allll the help guys, it was really heplful and wouldn't have gotten it done otherwise.

pretty much re did it all, except this time i put in bosch iridium 1.1mm gap plugs, cleaned out the area very nicely and yeah.

luckily this solved the miss fire problem, and even more so, the missfire under boost problem, i tried putting my foot down at high speeds and low speeds, where before there would be pops now there was no sound like that. so everythings working fine :)

thanks again everyone

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
