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.

      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.
