Okay really bugging problem, cant figure it out
1989 Nissan 240sx SR20DET redtop 5speed
550cc injectors, walboro 255, gt25r .64, megan exhaust mani, o2housing, 3" exhaust, hard intake, z32, enthalpy tuned ecu, fmic, hks ssqv
okay a few months ago i put my car down to get a lot of work done on it. got the new turbo and injectors and all done, and got rid of my safc for a enthalpy ecu. finnaly got to run the car for the first time, and it is real rich. smokes when u gas it, narrow band stays uber rich under wot, and put it on a dyno to get a a/f. starts at right under 11, and immediatly drops to under 10 where it wont even read on the dyno. i talked to scott and he said didnt think it was the tune making it rich, so trying to figure out what. also i think my bov is not opening some times? i hear this sound when i left off the gas coming through my intake, i unhooked my bov vacum and it makes the same sound. after driving it a while, it will just start working, like it wont chirp when i shift all the time, just some times, though i shift the same. i got my vacum lines like this, two outs on the t/b, one is T to fuel pressure regulator and boost gauge. the other is T wastegate and bov. stuff i tried: injectors not leaking at either big or small o-ring, all firing. no leaks i could tell (tried the carb cleaner method) plugs are fouled but not going to change them till i fix it. had one code a while ago (34 if i remember, it was knock sensor) but it was just the plug loose. no codes now 55. it will drive good, until under acceleration where it will buck in 1st and higher rpms 2nd. doesnt buck 3-4-5, but does bog after wot for a few seconds, then kinda clears out and pulls good. i can get pictures/video of anything, please let me know. really want to fix it. thank u for help, sorry its so long but i wanted to be specific.

i dont know if yout BOV has anything to do with the car runing rich but heres how i have mine.. boost gauge and FPR are on one BOV is on the other and the waste gate is on the cold pipe of the IC piping. heres a pic of the top of my intake.

okay made a pressure tester and found a few problems, the turbo has a bunch of screw holes on it (i guess for acc) and one of them had air coming out of it. so i put a bolt in it (not enough to hit fan) and fixed that one. no more leaks showing up right now, and the car drives better until boost (needle goes above 0) then starts bucking real bad. this sounds exactly like a leak, but i cant find one with a pressure tester. also i am going to change out my spark plugs now ( i know they are black as night) what plugs should i use? ive read so many conflicting things about which ones to use and from what vehicle

damn that sounds exactly like my car except not as modded...hmm CTS really could cause the car to run that rich huh(would it cause it to pop at WOT? how do you test it out? i have BKR7ES-11 plugs as well...are those too cold?

Fuel pressure regulator.... check your fp to see whether if everything is dialed in. Cause if your injectors are flowing shit load of fuel and your fpr can't handle, that condition will come about as well.

ive tested the fpr before, not to long ago, but i guess i will do it again if this cts/plugs dont work. it worked fine then, i think ~40 something at idle and rose good. ive been meaning to buy a nismo fpr for some time, just kept puttin it off

Okay put a Nismo FPR on there, set it to 36psi and it changed nothing. What else can I try?
