Pinging is bad and engine destroying - it happens very quickly so don't "dump" it until you either reduce the boost or fix the problem. Means that not enough fuel is getting there as the stock cooler "should" be ok with that sort of boost, so points at the fuel pump or regulator or injectors.

I think..

Was car pinging before you changed air cleaner? Pod filters are not always what they are cracked up to be. Standard fuel system can handle your boost upgrade, engine management may not. How are u increasing fuel to meet boost increase?

Where you add boost you must add fuel or lean mixture results in engine detonation.

how much are the splitfire coils CROAT?

yeh he has said it wasnt pinging, and that he had put the timing up alot, and as soon as the bleed valve spiked, everything went out of wack. im going to jaycar today, aparently those electronic boost controllers are alot better, but one day ill have a piggy back to overide all limitations.

running excessive ignition timing combined with boost spike will definately cause detonation. missfire due to overboost can be caused by incorrect plug heat range and or plug gap. usually coil pack failure will produce missfire even at idle.

Depends how farked they are... My engine was missing around 5500 then coming on strong again at about 6000, detected it as coils right away so started saving up for splitfires... They were installed last week and no more missing at high revs... Only on one or two occaisions did my car actually miss at idle or below 4000...

If your car splutters for a bit under acceleration then gets going again after about 6000, i'd say it's coil packs.

As for price... you can buy them from most place for >$1,000... one of the traders in the for sale section was selling them for about $650 i think... you can get them from nengun for about $600 shipped but you will probably have to wait a few weeks.

i wouldnt bother with a jaycar boost controller and i wouldnt bother with a piggy ecu as it will only fix the problem somewhat(it might even hinder you performance) personally i would save my money and go the whole hog if you are really serious ....

save SavE SAVE !!! and get yourself stand alone managment =)

Not PFC either (go for map sensor =) better no afm <----- or so i am told)

thats my two cents.

Chris,

On a GTST a map sensor is only worth while if you are chasing 400rwkw or more.

Otherwise stick with the PFC, it has 6 injector drivers that are sequential, 6 coil drivers, 02 closed loop, and has been designed specifically for the model of car.

The AFM is more accurate. The restriction is nothing, especially considering its sitting in front of a turbo.

Intake mods at the AFM and or airbox make more of a difference on N/A's than it does turbo's.

Grab the above specs and have a look at what sort of money you are paying for an ecu to meet the specs. Most skimp out with either the o2, injector or coil drivers.

For the Skylines the PowerFC is extremely hard to beat UNLESS you have plenty of money to throw around for a Motec.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
