R32 Constant Misfire, Sounds Ugly As Balls

Ok so I'm having a few problems with my 32 (turbo) I bought the car about a month ago, all seemed fine on purchase, besides bulk unburnt fuel. I did a service myself (spark plugs, oil etc) and at the same time before I went for a drive I bumped up my fuel pressure reg from 20 to about 40. Started it up it sounded like aids, real gluggy and wobbly on acceleration, was told it was a misfire, and perhaps I've drowned my injectors with fuel due to bumping up the fuel reg, or it's a spark plug issue.. I turned my fuel reg back down and it's made no difference. I have 440cc injectors, yellow jacket coil packs and iridium spark plugs. Any help on what the problems are and how to fix would be very appreciated. Thanks guys.

What ecu?

why are you just messing with the fuel pressure randomly?

You can't drown injectors, you can flood the 3ngine and or foul plugs.

In summary your problems are you are doing random things with no clue and that will never work out well for you.

So don't randomly mess with it.

Either spend ages reading and learning, or take it somewhere and get them to see what's going on.

For the time being busy yourself by doing a pressure test to see how many boost leaks you have. Search how to do it.

If you are in NSW, anywhere between Sydney or the Gong, I can have a quick sticky beak for you.

or if you can elaborate on 'highly modified' to get an idea of what the tune should be like I can help.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
