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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
