Just 48 hours before my Florida trip turned into a nightmare, I was enjoying my Infiniti Q50 on the way to a local car show in South Carolina! π³
Everything seemed to be going great with my 2017 Infiniti Q50 3.0T Twin Turbo. I was enjoying the drive to a car show not far from my house in South Carolina, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
Fast-forward just 48 hours, and everything started going WRONG during my Florida road trip!
My Infiniti Q50 began experiencing strange popping noises, possible misfires, and concerning performance issues. At first, I suspected the tune might be responsible, so I removed it to see whether that would fix the problem.
Unfortunately, things only seemed to get WORSE on the drive back home!
And the engine problems werenβt the only issues!
π₯ My Q50βs front lip broke!
π§ Bolts started coming loose on my trunk!
β οΈ Strange popping noises and possible engine misfires!
β½ Possible high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) problems!
β½ Possible low-pressure fuel pump (LPFP) problems!
π₯ Potential ignition coil issues!
After experiencing these problems, I contacted Z1 Motorsports and sent them my vehicleβs data logs for analysis.
Based on the information I provided, Z1 suggested that my Q50 could be experiencing fuel pump-related issues.
Iβve since ordered upgraded AMS high-pressure and low-pressure fuel pumps as part of my plan to troubleshoot the problem and continue upgrading my VR30DDTT!
But hereβs the big questionβ¦
Are my fuel pumps actually failing? Are my ignition coils causing the popping? Or is something else going wrong with my Infiniti Q50?
Join me as I document the unexpected problems, the Florida road trip, and the ongoing journey of modifying and maintaining my Infiniti Q50!

log high pressure fuel rail actual vs target before the ams pumps go in. if actual falls away from target at high rpm, that's evidence to investigate the fuel system. it doesn't rule out an ignition fault. pull the plugs too, check their condition and the gap specified for your setup. once the new pumps are in, the tune needs to be adjusted for them. if you're looking for an ecutek tuner, dynosty works on nissan and infiniti. send the logs with the fault description when you contact a shop.

Bro please STOP USING CHAGPT to diagnose the car. I had JB4 and was using ChaotGPT to diagnose the car and help me with my map 6 build and then BOOM π₯ I blew the engine. Chapt told me it was fine all my Data logs looked fine it saod the boost was fine but Chat definitely was wrong and blew my engine listening to ChapGPT.... and a JB4 similar to Hot Box... GET A REAL TUNE #GoRacebox

Can't believe they didn't give this car a DCT would have been even faster.
