  1. No don't worry, im just trying to make sure the fueling is correct so it can be ruled out. The other bits need replacing anyway tbh
  2. I'll be doing single figure mpg, lol
  3. Update, Some parts ordered for weekend, Spark Plugs (NGK Platinum) Silicone Intercooler pipes 4mm Silicone pipe to remove prvr and move some T pieces away from fuel pressure sensor Elec Front Fan New smaller number plate to aid airflow :D Will also adjust CAS -17 degrees and flush then replace the coolant . Aiming to lower the intake temp and get more fuel in, balance the intake pressures at the throttle boddies and sort any possble boost leaks
  4. Do the other chips run a seperate map if det accours ???
  5. Sorry guys, i should have phoned you both!!, same thing next week it is then !!! :D
  6. No i'm a self confessed **** :D edit# cnut :D
  7. Ok thanks, In theory moving that dodgy boost line sender, replacing inlet hoses and spark plugs, retarding the timing and removing the prvr system should provide slightly more fuel and a stable boost to set the boost controller gain from !!
  8. Thank you Mark, thats a really kind offer. thank you so much for all the advice last night too !! :bow:
  9. I'd say from 3500 rpm theres a slight noise and at 6500 rpm its quite loud. Its accuring at 9 psi too, goes away in safety boost. It is bad in hot weather. Better in the cooler wheather in the evening but it still does it. my gain is at 20.
  10. No it was before, so he's innocent. Lol
  11. Famous last words, lol
  12. My cars not well and not sure i can fix it by the weekend and as tomorrow would be the last chance to post someone tickets, looks like i'll have to miss it. :cry: Anywhoo, if anyone wants them they are £20. That means you get to park in the show ground, (no parking in the carpark :D) and save £10 on the gate. pm me. Money can be paid directly to Madmarco and i'll pay for the recorded delivery for the tickets.
  13. I have 2 Tickets and a stand pass for sale @ £20 My cars not well :cry: Payment to Madmarco
  14. Yes, its full of shell V-Power now.
  15. Thanks for that, going on from what you've said, the det sounds like it's from the drivers side bank. The drivers side bank has a dodgy intake hose which i have just bought new silicone ones to replace it. I was loosing boost at top end by about 1 psi. Could that cause it? Will also check the plugs and then check timing. How is that changed btw??
  16. Yep, we checked the base timing with a strobe, not the conzult. I was boosting to 0.86 bar or around 12 psi. But it was then doing it on lower boosts too. Especially at the weekend in the hot weather.
  17. Timing was at 17 degrees at an idle of around 900 - 950 rpm which is about right Mods, HKS Mushroom Filter Apexi BOV's Blitz SBC i-Colour boost controller Straight through Cat Back Andy P Chip
  18. Yep....the noise is detonation. So i've knocked the car back down to safety boost and am now on a fault finding mission. i'm firstly changing large boost pipes for new ones as mine are knackered, re checking the installation of my EBC pipes etc, changing the spark plugs, moving a pressure sensor T Piece from next to the fuel regultor (oops) to further down the line. Im going to flush the coolant and clean the rad as the car runs very hot Will then be into looking at fueling after that. Any other inside info anyone can give me the heads up on ?? I have popped the car on a conzult (thanks Topless!!!!!) and all is fine with the engine sensors etc.
  19. could be that. You may then need to re-set the base idle to 750-850 rpm. There are guides on that too.
  20. this is a link to a guide on replacing it. You need to remove the pipe and spray some carb cleaner in it. Not too much though. When you re-connect the pipes it will burn the cleaner through for a few secs then settle http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/tech/iaa/iaa.html
  21. oh ok then. Pub it is!!!! :D
  22. I have had a irratic idle and it's solved once cleaning the idle control valve. However the base idle wasn't as low as yours. It was ranging from 750rpm up to 1700 rpm
  23. If the boost is dropping it's either a boost leak or the GAIN is set too high for the SET on the boost controller iirc At that sort of pressure on stock tubs maybe the boost leak is around the tubs?? Maybe the impella's are knackered and spoolong up to the same speed but not producing correct pressure??
