Hi there!

I have a very strange problem!

I installed a Hypergear ATRG3 Turbo to my ER34 GTT, and from that moment the car stalls all the time..

Also went for a tune yesterday and the car was missfiring from 4000rpm till 6000rpm and then it knocks very HIGH

Like 116!!! That happened twice... So we stopped..

I have Apexi Power FC, Sard 800cc injectors, Sard FPR, Q45 Airflow, Stock elbow, 4" downpipe and back exhaust, 044 Bosch intank, OEM Coils(with electrical tape around them), HKS Iridium plugs(also changed them to Denso IK27), The car was working absolutely fine, before the turbo, injectors and Q45.

Akis.

I've replaced all the vacuum lines with new ones before the tune(because i thought the idle problem was something leaking)..

The afr's are great and they are not flactuating(when missfiring and knocking) and that is very strange..

Id say its your coilpacks that electrical tape might fix them for when running low boost but when you start putting boost in theyll missfire again thats what happened to me so I just put in spitfires with ngk bcp7es spark plugs

youve changed so many items all at once, it could be any of those

to eliminate the afm, can you go back the std AFM and see if it idles and runs normally with stock AFM

obviously dont load it up, just idle and plod around

if it works, then new AFM is either set wrong, mangled, damaged, wrong AFM or mangled wiring

if it doesnt work (ie problem still present) then youve eliminated the AFM being the cause

i would look at injectors and how they are setup

if the coilpacks are toast, they would have been toast on the standard turbo as well, and it wouldn't make it not idle

No, but my car also used to stall all the time before it was tuned with Sard 880CC injectors in them... :)

It was stalling after i replaced the turbo only(before the AFM and injectors..)

The injectors are set correct, also the AFM is correct..

I taped the coils but i do not know if it is correct, i taped them from the plugs and below the place the screws are..

Should i tape them all the way up?

Also when the turbo was installed one ground(from manifold to chassis) was cut BUT not replaced, could this be THAT bad??

coilpacks are a devil of a problem.. that and the ignitor..

it may seem to be running fine, and then you change somethign which doesn't even remotely seem to be related to the coilpacks or ignitor, but they start giving problems.. best yo uchange them and give it a shot..good luck

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • 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 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • 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?  😛
