I have a fd3s with a single turbo conversion...theres an oil leak somewhere i thought the turbo was finished...the car is missing like anything and the rpm just kinda gets stuck at 6000 and the car is incredibly slow...i installed an avcr to see if the boost holds...it does...but the prob isnt gone...the car is still missing a LOT....what could the problem be???? in my country theres not a lot o stuff for rx7...there are HKS rx8 plugs available shud i use them? i have a feeling my spark plugs are finished...cud that be the reason for so much missing that the cars even slower than an rx8?

Another possible problem...when i was connecting the AVCR i used the iginition to get the rpm reading...when i did that the missing doubled...i took off the rpm wire from the ignition and then the missing reduced a bit but it was still still...cud it be the ignition thats the prob? the plugs? the plug wires? or something else that im not aware of...need help cuz this forum is my only source to rx7 knowledge :S

im running stock ignition man...the car is bone stock except an intake and the single turbo conversion...i checked the plugs 3 outta 4 are finished...could that be the reason for SO MUCH missing? plus i have an oil leak from somewhere still havent been able to locate it...

I use the NGK plugs and they work great and i'm bout to be runnin 500hp on pump. Deff replace the plugs if 3 of them are bad, that could be why it's missing, it's not getting enough spark

Disable the boost controller until you can get the car driving properly. Either turn it off on the AVCR controller or remove it run straight manifold pressure to the wastegate.

and there's no such thing as a car that's "bone stock" with a single turbo conversion.

yeah i knw man the point of using the word bone stock was to make it clear that there are no other mods except the single turbo n intake...i used the avcr to check the turbo i turned it off after that...

im just a lil worried as to whether it cud be more than just the spark plugs? cuz the car starts missing and its almost as bad as if the rpms stuck at around 6k...
