Hey guys im posting on here for a mate he has a R32 skyline and after changing the spark plugs its started coughing on boost when going about 5-7psi sometimes it even goes upto 10psi

Mods are

turbosmart dual boost controller

apexi bov

turbo back exhaust

pod filter

we have changed the vacuum lines

fuel filter

intercooler+piping

Sparkplugs

intake pipe

ive even tried my coilpacks in there

Whats the next step nothing has seemed to really help

Thanx for the help guyss :D

what are your spark plugs and what gap are they? also clean your coil packs with contact cleaner....they get quite dirty over time and the dirt/carbon allows the electricity to short up the coil pack to the closest grounding point. you can pull the silicon boots off your coils so you can clean them separately in warm soapy water. I did this on my original factory coils that i replaced with my split fires and they work fine again.

This is the video i used to figure out what to do.

spark plugs should be 0.7mm-0.8mm

try those two things and see if they help.

Assuming you replaced plugs woth the same type and gap I would suspect the coil pack loom

They get brittle and can stuff up after being disturbed. Seeing as your coils don't help it points more towards the loom.

    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
