Unusual problem with RB silvia

I have a weird problem in my RB silvia and am really stuck for ideas for what it could be!!

When the car is cold, and only running for about 5 minutes, it pulls hard and has NO problems whatsoever... But after 5-10 minutes when shes nice and warm, she starts coughing when coming onto boost and backfiring and yeah, not a happy engine...

My thoughts are its an ignition problem? spark plugs/coilpacks etc? so i replaced my plugs with new iridiums, gapped them and shes still doing it... So my next guess is coilpacks, they are 2nd hand coilpacks that are in there at the moment because they had to be replaced as the last ones ummm, melted.

I NEED HELP, ANY RB EXPERTS?

soooooooo its not up to normal operating temp when your taking it onto boost? if so..treat the car with some respect.. let the car warm up for 5 or 10 minutes or drive it very easy untill is warm.. before even think about hitting boost.. thats how you can break shit.. also could be a coil pack.. so yer if the last ones melted.. WTF are you doin to the car :D i've had my rb sil for a while now.. had no problems with it so yer :)

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
