Might be ok, but try the other things first (CRC and coil wrapping) and go from there.

Heaps of info in this site about all these things as they have all been covered many many times over, so have a mad search, read up on R&R, misfires, Fuel pump installs etc etc.

and go nuts!

I know I sure did. :yes:

Spent all day searching haha. How much of the coil do you wrap with electrical tape?

lol I spent years searching.  

Never wrapped them myself but I'd go from the bit that goes over the sparkplugs all the way up the shaft to the box!

hmmm... sounds quite suggestive when you say it like that. :D

Sound's like R&R (rich and retard).

The stock ecu is seeing more air than it's used to so it tries to protect the engine by adding more fuel and retarding the timing. This would make sense since the problem started after you installed the fmic and raised the boost which would result in increased airflow.

 

This causes a loss of power and the misfiring feeling. You could try clean your AFM with some MAF cleaner and dropping the boost 1 or 2 psi, the problem should go away then.

 

Are you sure you are running only 10psi and not higher?

Problem(s) could be from either the Superspark coils (which are rubbish, sorry to be blunt) or faulty OEM ones.

Best to get Splitfire ones or go Yaris conversion or LS conversion coils.

Sure, none of us want to spend extra money but if your coil packs are buggered or you spent $400 when you should have spent $600 then the only way out is to spend $600.  Not $500 or $400.  

Always buy Splitfires at minimum.  Do not try and go cheaper.  You will only end up opening your wallet again to buy what you should have bought the first time.

I wouldn't not doubt the coilpacks in that assumption. I'm not saying that it is your coils either but if they're weak it shows up when boost and power increases.

 

As above, if buying new coils stay away from the bright coloured ones unless they're the bluey purple ones, otherwise OEM or conversion.

 

I'm going to entertain the R and R theory.

No I would not as there's still too many variables. Start with the easy and cheap fixes and eliminate them first.

What pump did you put in? Did you feed it a new 12 Volt line via a relay or just use existing wiring?

Some after market pumps don't like old stock wiring.

Check the coils for cracking and wrap the whole long bit to eliminate any arcing if need be.

Update:

have cleaned afm, ran stock boost from inlet piping straight to actuator. Have tried both my sets of coil packs, new plugs. So it can't be rnr or spark related. Any other suggestions? Ignitor?

If Series 1 then yes it could be the igniter, could also be fuel pump related or could be faulty AFM or boost leak or vac leak since you've disturbed the piping.

Engine needs Air, Fuel and Spark soooo... keep at it.

Ok I'll look into it

By the ecu thinking the air is going in to the engines and putting the fuel in to suit, only for the air to sneak out a leak and make the engine run rich, or even show enoigh airflow to go into rich and retard.

The ecu doesn't know if the air that goes through the maf makes it into the engine.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
