Hi all..

Well... Not sure if you know, but car atm is running 7-10PSI, turbo back w/ hi flow cat, FMIC, stock ECU.

Ok setting scene.. Around 11PM, driving on M7, cold nite.

Car running 10PSI as a max on 39% duty cycle. Ive seen it only goto 0.69bar @ 6814 rpm once, in like 2nd or 3rd. (according to AVCR)

1st gear no problems, switch, backfire, 2nd gear no problems. So far so good.

2nd ->3rd, no problems.

1,2,3 all seem to goto 5.5-6.5krpm no problems.

At 4th it gets funny. When I floor it in 4th, around 4.5krpm or abit above, it starts to surge? or miss?. Feels like there is lack or power or not enough fuel or cylinders not igniting. However if I dont floor it it will happily goto 5 or 6 but slowly.

So question is, is this a fuel cut or the engine missing?.

Using NGK Irridum Sparkies ~30k done on em. Stock fuel pump. Stock coils.

This only recently happened when I put the AVCR in, ie. increase the boost.

Some say its the sparks, some say its the coils, some say its fuel cut.

What do you guys think?

Cheers!

my car surges when its cold and ya try and floor it.. but that im assuming is normal

i dont think it would be fuel cut unless you trying to get past 180ks. as for spark plugs.. could be a miss, but if its a miss, that cyl would cause a backfire every time, mine did that when i got a drop of water on one of the coils once and it would arc out and not fire the sparkie on boost.

check your sparks, make sure there gaped to the right amount.. think its 0.7 cant remember.

but thats all i can think of off the top of my head, i havent had any dealings with AVCR's

excess airflow protection is a violent backfiring nasty thing, so i doubt it is that.

gap the plugs to 0.8

check with other coils that aren't doing it.

my cars doing a similar thing and i know that is the coils, im running 0.6 gap to try and stop it, but it aint working anymore

try dropping the gap lower til it goes away, til you can get new coils.

Sounds like the duty of the AVC-R is set incorrectly

Thanks siksII, does look like a missing issue.

And Yea Craved, might have to check at regapping the current sparks.

Car isnt a daily driver now so its ok, though I would like to give it a bit over the w/e ie. missing would annoy me :/

Sounds like the duty of the AVC-R is set incorrectly

Hmm... Maybe, ill play around with it abit... Though its set at 35% duty less than 3000RPM, then each 500RPM up it goes up 1%, untill 40% duty.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
