Check your boost - standard without much mods - should be running around 8-11 PSI max in my opinion. With mods, proper boost controller, run max 14 psi.

Get your vehicle tuned and make sure you only run your vehicle with high-octane fuel - I recommend Shell's V-POWER.

Moreover, make sure you warm up your car at all times. Either turn it on and let it idle for around 5 minutes before you drive off or, drive slowly for around 5 minutes and let the engine warm itself up slowly. Never ever cane it when the engine temperature is still cold.

Hope that helps. good luck.

most likely a spark related problem then a fuel problem. check your plugs, gap to .8mm. may also be your coils which get hairline fractures causing the spark to arc out causing a missfire

will test them sa well do you yhink if the coil packs need replacing it would be better to upgrade to spitfire high performance coilpacks and use a plug with a 1mm gap???

cant exacly remember what they are but they cost me around $25 each they seemed to do the trick running at 11 PSI all day. think some NKG Iridium

Iridium is a precious, silver-white metal and one of the densest materials found on earth. The natural properties of Iridium offered NGK the opportunity to create one of the world's finest spark plugs. The result are spark plugs that require less voltage to spark, burns fuel more efficiently, sparks at leaner air/fuel mixtures, and delivers higher horsepower and better gas mileage.

NGK IRIDIUM SPARK PLUG ONLY NEED TO REPLACE EVERY 100000 KMS.....

Have you got an after market boost gauge to see higher boost levels if present cause i sent my car in for reapairs once and they must of fu@#ed with the manual boost controller it had, cause it was surgin like a MF when i got it back then realised how high she was boostin with standard ECU (computer)too much boost (boost cut out,a safety thing) any way might be helpful if its not a boost cut issue then i would lean towards electrical?

      Import insurance in 2025

      My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.

      A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
