Hey Guys, I have a 90 TT 300ZX automatic (unfortunately). It has just 77,4xx miles on it running stock turbos with 0.038 orfice boost jets. I have 440cc injectors (370cc is stock btw), upgraded stock replacement SMIC's(all aluminum), Nismo Adjustable FPR(set to correct fuel pressure), Z1 Motorsports ECU reflash, and full exhaust(dp's, test pipes - no cats or resonators, magnaflow mufflers), Glowshift boost gauge.
I've replaced the following parts:
-New NGK Sparkplugs (x6)
-New MAF
-Used TPS from Z1 Motorsports (tested good)
I took the Z up to Best Discount Brakes & Mufflers/ Extreme Motorsport (by BassPro on Campbell) and had a boost leak test performed on it. He told me no "boost leaks" but I had a leak in the tube leading from the MAF to the turbo inlet. I checked it out and found nothing.
I've wire tied and checked all the vacuum hoses and I've also checked the engine harness to the best of my abilities. I have also managed to by-pass the knock sensor with a 1 megohm resistor since the knock sensor is located under the lower intake plenum.
I haven't performed a compression test yet but I do know that all cylinders are firing cuz I can turn them off one-by-one using my computer software and can hear/feel the difference in the idle.
Problems
-Only running 6psi (Safety Boost)..I think....
-Idles up and down and steadies out sometimes
*Sometimes is fine and other times not
*Tried adjusting the idle via TPS and IACV several times and have gotten it right but will later change itself.
-Sometimes is cuts out before reacing 6psi and other times it will go all the way to 6psi w/o cutting out.
-Sometimes smokes and sometimes doesnt (dunno if its oil from the turbo or just running rich)
-Will develop idle issue after reving and sometimes it will die .
-runs rich and sometimes the timing is off a few degrees
Thats all I can think of at the moment. I also have been using my BlaZt Software on my laptop to monitor things such as TPS voltage timing rpms and what not. I use my boost gauge to monitot boost and vacuum just to clarify that.
I'm also going to post this on NicoClub and maybe twinturbo.net btw. I thank everyone in advance for their help/advice/support. Thanks!!
