hey guys, 1st of all i am new to the VLT scene and i will be totally honest....I have no clue when it comes to turbos lol...Anyway i cant get my VLT to run right...its idling like crap and running really rich...i pulled out the 1st spark plug (closest to radiator) and found the iridium plug had melted the electrode aswell as the little bendy bit away, could this be causing it to run rough and rich? if i replaced all plugs would that eliminate the problem at hand etc? cheers for any info in advance Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Lol yep. Just change them and find out

all good now just need to set my fuel pressure at the right setting as it still seems a bit rich, done the timing aswell...about 20-25 degrees BTDC and the current fuel setting is on 60 psi??

Timing should be on 15 and fuel pressure about 40 psi

lol sounds like shes been pinging off its head. get rid of those iridium plugs and get some bcpr7es11.

i got rid of the iridiums as they are just not necessary and got the bcpr6es11 plugs and it seems to be running alot better now and i will do the fuel pressure in the morning along with the timing (mrs will probably shoot me if i do it now haha) if i put it at 15 btdc do i just adjust my idle at the back of the plenum? ---------- Post added 14-05-13 at 23:13 ---------- im running about 12-14 psi boost atm so maybe that could be knocked down if it will help? i know full well its capable of handling more boost as its a pretty modified engine but there really isnt any need in this town lol

Put some specs up gives ppl a better idea

you shouldnt have to adjust your idle.

the specs i was given are as follows... R33 turbo, 3" piping, Monsta cooler, 700psi fuel pump bigger fuel lines fuel reg high flow mandrel bent 3" exhaust balanced and blue printed diamond cut pistons, scat crank, cam and rods forged bottom end running 12PSI Huge K&N pod filter 5 speed RB20 box... Umm i'm sure there is more tho lol ---------- Post added 14-05-13 at 23:32 ---------- has top gun 10mm leads aswell ---------- Post added 14-05-13 at 23:47 ---------- oh and its an RB30ET engine lol

Standard computer?. Id be setting the timing to 10

Work for EE by any chance?
