Hi there

I recently picked up my car on the run in tune on the PFC, its got a 4 grand limiter, some dipshit was fiddling with the PFC :) and the engine warning light stayed on and the car started hesitating/missing on boost. I took it into the mechanic and they said they just turned some options on the PFC on, they disabled them and the egine warning lgiht went away.

But the car still hesitates/misfires when coming on boost, is there anything on the PFC that you think i can check.

If the warning light stays on (rather than flashing), that's a bad sensor somewhere.

If you can get it to do it again and go to 'sensor check' i think, it will highlight the one with the issue for you.

Does it sound like the O2 sensor cause, the wiring plug got half melted by the exhaust but the Air Fuel Ratio gauge still works

I'm not sure to be honest but 1st thing I'd check is the AFM setting.

Make sure it's on the right one.

Just highlighting the wrong one and backing out of the menu chooses that AFM which I've done accidently, but it made my car undrivable doing that. I was nearly crying! haha, quick phone call to tuner fixed it :teehee:

Try swapping between option 1 and 2 which are standard R33 AFM, and Power Intake (pod). (assuming you're on the standard AFM)

Mine was tuned on standard R33 - option 1 even though i had a pod so just depends on what your tuners selected to start with.

But after all that, it may be something else! Good luck

check all your connectors are on and clean.

i had a similar issue with pfc in my car, tuned out it was bad connection on water temp connector and then another one (seperate occassion) with injector connection causing no spark at all in one of the cylinders... turned out it was that green goopy shit that the std connectors get after time.

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.

      I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
