Hmmmmmm, what ECU are you using? Personally I would be looking at advancing the ignition timing some, as that is the first place I go for better response. Maybe some tuning of the exhaust camshaft timing woiuld help as well.

Premature wastegate opening would be my next port of call. Try setting the boost threshold at 2 bar, and testing the boost build then. That will tell you if the boost bypass isn't large enough through the EBC. If that turns out to be the case I would try a Norgren pressure limiting valve before the EBC. Or upgrade to a Jaycar IEBC, they ensure absolutely no premature wastegate opening because the solenoid is in series to the wastegate actuator. The HKS EBC (like most others) has its solenoid parrallel to the wastegate actuator.

Hope that is of some help

Cheers, yeah I currently have the HKS EVC3 fitted that came with the car, I will be fitting my AVC-R (on the shelf form last car) in a month or two, the AVC-R will definitely be in series with the actuators. In terms of the other items, the cams are coming out in favour of Tomei Hi Lift PROCAM's 260deg 10.85mm so I am hoping that the extra lift will enable a lot better torque and flow in the lower RPM's.

ECU is a Power FC, my tuner did mention that they are boosting a little late, even for 2530's.. Cheers for the ideas..

I looked at the piping kits as well, but i don't need the full kit, as i have M's pods and Greddy hard piping kit.

DANOOH Any chance of some photos of the hard piping kit in your installation, my fear at the moment with the HKS pipes is that I won't be able to easily fit my Z32 AFM's to them (which I know I can with the GReddy setup) and that my filters won't fit.. Some pics of different installations helps me to visualise better.. Cheers if you could. Also what AFM's are you running??

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
