hey guys i recently askd for help because of my engine running poor and misfiring under light throttle

well it got worse to the point were i couldnt drive the car and on cold start it would stall

sunday me and my brother took apart the airflow meters (sprayed with light break cleaner spray) and pulled out my coil packs on sparkplugs

my sparkplugs werent bogged they where not the bad but my coil packs i have found to be original and never changed the recent owner has taped the bottom of the coil with electrical tape saying that they must have cracks so for the mean time i retaped the coils and clean the plugs and AFMS, started the car and it ran BEAUTIFULLY not a miss, idled smooth and didnt hunt, i drove it for about 45 minutes giving it some gas here and there and then after it really warmed up the miss came back but slightly and so did the hunting, so on the list of thinhgs i need it will be brand new AFMS, and i think its the HKS pod filters that are shitttt so im changing to duel feed apexi and going genuine coilpacks and new plugs that should do the trick,....

now i have a HKS EVC put it by recent owner set at .7 or .9 and when its turned on neither settings actually control the boost it hits about 1.1 bar at full boost when i have it set to .7 and even when its turned of the stock WG it spikes to 1.1. Sometimes it actually works and the boost doesnt go past .7 or .9 but most of the time it doesnt work and it spikes, there is a exhaust leak but im not to sure how far up its coming from, if you put ur ear to the back passenger side of the car u can hear the poppping noise, maybe TURBO gasket? or manifold gasket? i dunno if its common for them to leak? or mayb after market exhaust system has a leak im not to sure but would that cause the spike or for the car to run like shit when really warm?

thats all ive found so far,, following are the mods

HKS EVC

HKS TURBO TIMER

3INCH EXHAUST STAINLESS STEEL

HKF POD FILTERS

      R34 Headlight lense replacement

      Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.

      If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.

      Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
