Hi I'm having some problems with my r34 gtt, only bought it afew wks ago, I brought it to insight Motorsport in Sydney for a tune because it is running high boost, he said he can't tune it when it's like that.... It has a high flowed gcg turbo, z32 afm, split fire coil packs, fmic, greddy boost controller which is working as a boost gauge only... Highflow fuel pump andHas 550 injectors.. I changed the standard bov valve to a turbosmart plumb back, cleaned out the highflow cat, swapped over all vac lines, made no difference... 1st gear is fine and second, it only shits itself at 3k revs in 3rd, 4th and 5th! I am changing plugs today anybody have any suggestions???

Sort out your boost control issues then he can tune it. If it is the boost controller then that is the best place to start.

Meanwhile get your car sorted of all other potential issues like boost leaks, make sure you have new spark plugs, new fuel filter etc etc.

He can't tune it when the turbo is surging, afew people have had trouble with gcg turbos surging, the mechanic at insight and Scott said they thought it was a problem with the turbo... Might try a standard turbo and see if that solves it

GCG Hiflows are just that, Hiflowed. If the previous owner asked them for it that's what he got. It will flow a little more than stock but that's it. I would expect 230kws at best. However, if the compressor has been changed to a more efficient wheel then more air flow will certainly cause the issues described. There is some porting of the wastegate that needs to be done as GCG usually keep the standard wastegate flap and port size.

I had one years ago and this was the case. Get a porting tool and grind out the wastegate a couple of millimetres. Leave 2mm for the flap to seal against. Try this with new plugs, air filter etc. Get that boost controller working ! Why is it just reading boost ? Is there a problem ? Electronic boost controller is a must have item.

Also, the fact it revs clean in 1st & 2nd makes me think of exhaust blockage. Why did you clean out the cat ? was it blocked ? you can't clean them out. If you could see daylight through it then it was fine. Cleaning it in petrol is probably not the way to do it. Is the exhaust 3" all the way through ? The cat isn't a compliance cat is it ? They are usually less than 3". So many things to look at because we don't know the car.

Anyway, do the simplest things first and work from there. Oh, and you wouldn't be the 1st person to believe you had a hi-flow and it was just a standard rebuild. Get the number off your turbo and ring GCG and ask what they did to it.

Cheers for that bud, I changed plugs made no difference... There is a full custom exhaust on it, high flow cat, just cleaned the afm there, think it does have some thing to do with the wastegate... I don't know why boost control isn't working.... Trying to fix it now... I just noticed there that there are no pipes connected to vacuum switch... One is broken and not sure where they go anyway....

There is one thing I'm not 100% sure. you've mentioned surging / misfiring. They are two separate issues. LIke is the turbocharger surging under load and car is also misfiring on same time? or just engine misfires.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
