Need Advice! No Power!
Ok here is the setup im running:
Z32 MAF FPBig28 Greddy FMIC AEM fpr w/guage Nismo 740cc NGK BKR7E plugs Greddy Spec 2 Controller Apexi PFC Walbro 255 pump Deatchwerks Hardwire kit Ok. The problem started just a week ago. The car has been professionally tuned by Steve Kan of Gotham Racing. The car was running perfectly for 2 weeks at 16-17 psi. Nothing seems weird, everything was running tip top. So about 5 days ago, i get into the car and everything seems normal, idling fine, revs good with no load. However, once i get going, if the car goes into boost at all, no matter what gear, the car boggs and doesnt do anything, as in no power. If i let off the throttle, and goes back into vacuum, the car will run fine. So basically once the car gets into boost, it does nothing, just boggs and jerks. If i take it easy on the throttle, keeping it out of boost, i seems to drive normal. I pulled the plugs and according to them it seems to be getting too much fuel. Its not the ecu because its been tuned. Each plug looks the exact same, so whatever is happening, its doing it on all cylinders. Can someone point me in the write direction? Here is what i've done so far: 1) Put new plugs in 2) Checked intercooler couplers and all vacuum hoses 3) Checked all my wires to see if a sensor has come unplugged I know its not wiring like some people suggested, otherwise the car would have never ran perfect before. One thing i did notice before the car started acting like this, is when we were tuning, the car would randomly show lean on the wideband, and only occurred occasionally. Could it possibly be my fpr? Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated. -scott

Well, the car is not running on 3 cylinders. The car idles and runs smooth and every plug looks the same when i pull it out of the car. Wouldnt a bad coil pack show rich while the other good ones show a good burn on the spark plugs?

You said you checked your piping but this sounds a lot like a boost leak. I'd keep that in the back of my mind if you didnt do an all-out pressure test.
Also PM'ed you.

are you using t-bolt clamps??? if you aren't then i recommend using them....i was using shitty aviation clamps at stock boost, they held fine.. Once i turned the boost up to 14 psi, it started leaking after a couple of days(. I changed out clamps and the problem went away.
