just wrapped up my BNR32 rebuild two weeks ago or so, and the car is mostly sorted, except for massive explosive misfiring under WOT load at 6000rpm and above.

main bits of the car: Tomei Poncams 260/260, 9.15mm lift/Garrett 2860-5 turbos (like HKS 2530s), and all supporting mods. The fuel pump is an Apexi in-tank model, spark plugs are NGK Iridium grade 8 gapped at 0.6mm, about 2000km on them but they've fouled three times in the past two weeks. New Splitfire coilpacks and stock fuel rail with Nismo fuel pressure regulator. The charcoal fuel vapour canister up front was removed and the lines blocked off or rerouted.

The overfueling has been sorted and the plugs aren't fouling anymore (a fuel tank breather hose was misrouted). Now however, fuel pressure will not fully rise with boost. No matter what I set the base pressure at, during driving, it will follow boost up 0.7bar, then start to gradually, and then rapidly (depending on rpm and rate of acceleration) fall 2 bars. Below 3bar fuel pressure, the engine starts to misfire. Boost is set at 1.5bar at the moment.

During dyno mapping, the fuel pressure ran normally (climbing in sync with boost) and I made 496rwhp. But I can't replicate this ever since they "sorted" the breather line problem, which would cause the car to massively overfuel when the tank was topped off, but run normally on 1/4 tank or less.

I suppose I could just set the rev limited to 6000rpm and live with it. But then, that wouldnt be much of a GT-R now would it??

Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated!

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
