Hi to all,

i need some advice on a problem which by other post sounds quite common in 34's

let me first infom you what i have had done recently to my 34gtt $ 6500.00 later i have my turbo hiflowed with trust internals from GCG, 550 cc injectors, apexi power fc computer,full hks super drager exaust,front mount, dump pipe, runnin 16 psi,walbro 255 lt pump, only just put in thinking this may fix my problem.

ok here is my problem when at hi rpm say 3500 upwards and anything above 10 psi i get pap pap pap sound like a boost cut sound some times it runs good and some times it runs bad, it was tuned in brisbane and all went fine untill i return home I'm about 900 mtrs above sea level a bit colder temp as per say.

if anybody can help me with a solution or advice my mechainc says it now could be coil packs and recomends split fire items at a Cool $ 1000.00

any help would be great thanks heaps ...... :

could be a coil pack issue.. i have the same thing happening

try dropping your spark plug gap to like 0.6mm and see if it helps

mmm good point, i will have to try that thanks...

it is set at 0.8 at the moment from 1.1

it is a pain in the butt hey...

Yep.

It's coil packs.

I wouldn't go much further than 0.8mm gap though.

Don't buy the Splitfires at $1000 though.

You should be able to get them for about $600 odd from Greenline, Nengun or Kudos Motorsport (group buy specialists who I got mine through).

Souonds like you have done the right stuff with your mods.

Where's you dyno chart? We want numbers!

thanks bass junky for the info,

did you get your coil packs local with local people or did you order them from an over seas mob and then sent to you. i looked at the 3 you said and i think kudos boys are local to order from gold coast i think..

any help on the matter .. im trying to get them in AU at the best price if possible. :D

thanks heaps

Gapping down the spark plugs is a cheap fix, it just makes the spark work across the plug because the path of least resistance again becomes the spark plug, rather than the block where the coilpack usually arcs out when they're not working properly. By gapping down the spark plug you're reducing the area of burn and this can be seen as an inefficent use of burning fuel. In the long run, you're much better off changing coil-packs and running the gap as close to 1.0 as you can.

Those of us who have been around a while have seen this exact problem many times. I could have told you the answer to your query just from the title of your thread.

If you gap them down to 0.6 the best you will have is a temporary solution.

Get the Splitfires and be done with it. Stock GTT coils are shit. $1000 is a rip off. Should be able to find them for around $600ish.

Oh and ditch that crappy fuel pump. You are playing with fire there. I'd hate to see you lose an engine through trying to save $100 on a the fuel pump. Someone with lower power aspirations will buy it off you as I would still recommend it up to about 230rwkw.

    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
