Hello there! while driving my stereo system turned off and wouldn't turn back on. The next day I drove around then all of a sudden my car would choke/stutter in 2nd gear, I drove home slowly and took 3rd and 4th gear a bit higher with no issues then dropped into 2nd and started to choke again at around 4k revs.

Got home took battery terminals off then back on. Stereo system works now butchoking remains. Gave it a rev in neutral and same choke at 4k revs.

Any ideas?

Mods are as follows: nismo front mount, autronic ecu, injectors, spitfire coilpacks, n1 turbos, tomei fuel regulator with walbro in tank pump, 3" turbo back exhaust, turbo smart bov, boost controller 2stage, blitz turbo timer. Has previously had a dyno tune.

Any help is very much appreciated !! Thanks guys

what do you mean by choke? do you mean misfire? if it is just misfiring then how old are your plugs? if they are old then that may be the cause, but it may also be that you have a failing ignitor or coilpack or even an issue with one of your afms

It ended up being the limiter. Very strange that it would just change while I'm driving. I thought it'd be in limp mode but not sure thats possible cause the ecu is aftermarket. Any thoughts on how this could happen? I'm thinking there could have been some kind of shortage or something

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
