could say the same about turbos/super chargers

What if your car was made 25 years ago?

how did you seal the leak ?

not if he confirmed they were below the deck height at TDC

CAS is a possibility, get a consult cable and check for error codes.

The stock bov is recirculating, as in it recirculates the air back to the intake and doesn't release it to atmosphere, though some does leak back out the air filter. If you have it vent to atmosphere it means the air is metered by the AFM, but is then vented to atmosphere, this means the car injects fuel for air that isn't there and hence runs rich when throttling off causing backfires and stalling issues. Also the stock bov leaks on vac and idle, essentially bypassing the turbo intake which is a restriction on vac which is a nice feature.

link to some more info about his v8 drag car?

How do I identify the two, when looking at hydraulic ones they have a metal finished top so how can I tell if they are solid or not. Do solid ones have the same diameter?

Exaclty, it'll be your base timing is too advanced or you have a lean out due to stuffed fuel pump, blocked injectors, broken fuel reg or blocked fuel filter. Stop wasting time with all the other shit and get it to a proper workshop so they can stick a wideband in the exhaust and a timing light on then diagnose it as either timing or fuel.

[non troll post] Less torque for the same power means it just makes the power at higher revs, this just means you need a shorter diff ratio to suit, it is not an issue at all providing you gear it to keep in the power band. Lets say you have two cars, both make an average of 200kw over a 3k power band, one makes it from 2-5k, the other makes it at 5-8k, the one making it from 2-5k will make almost double the torque (by definition), but if geared appropriately so they never fall out of this power band (lets assume they slip the clutch on launch) then they will both run exactly the same 1/4 mile time, trap speed and be just as fast everywhere else assuming everything else is the same. Heavy vehicles need more average power, not more torque, you are mistaken. Like all performance cars if not taken care of properly they will be unreliable, you can say the same about the skyline with its oil control problems and the thousands of blown up 26s, they honestly are both as unreliable as each other imo. Also rotaries have an almost perfectly flat torque curve so that means they can have very large power bands, sure you might need to rev it more than a bigger capacity piston engine but most the NA examples will make bucketloads of power from 5k until forever, they will usually hold torque to well over 10k rpm with a big port, the issue is you just can't safely rev a stock motor this high. If built it means they can have quite large power bands, greater than the average ~3k that a turbo skyline has, LS1s usually are closer to 4k. [/non troll post]

having to replace the motor will be even more annoying, do not rev it past 4k and no boost until this is solved, I don't think you realise how serious this is. 10 seconds on full boost with sustained detonation is enough to melt ring lands.

probably the worst car ever hahaha, a stock port 13b with 3 speed auto in a heavy as car, completely mismatched and just terrible.

You could put big w spec 25w 50 $5 for 5L oil in there and it would be fine, won't last long and if you are tracking it won't be optimal, but it won't do any harm.

sparkplugs won't cause detonation, they can but it is highly unlikely in your situation, it almost certainly CAS base timing is advanced, you are not running 98 octane fuel, or it is a fuel issue and is leaning out. Get it on a dyno and diagnose the issue, don't keep driving it or you WILL destroy the motor.

R33 intake manifold will bolt onto a neo head so it is a possibility that they made them with 33 intakes.

facepalm everyone else realised I have been trolling the past 2 pages

at least they dont have oil pump issues.

put a rotor in a commodore

read all our posts again? we told you what it almost certainly is....

You've never done this? most reliable method imo

buy an old loom and chop all the plugs off, contact performance nissan specialist and import wreckers, should be able to get some old hacked up loom for cheap, most the plugs are the same for various parts.

a tiny leak on vac becomes a massive leak on boost, fix it., almost certainly your issue. if you are running extra boost from a big exhaust/controller this could be causing havoc with the tune, remove any boost controllers and see if it fixes it, if it does then time for a remap via a nistune etc. Read the misfire at 4500-5000rpm thread for other suggestions, there are billions of similar problems in that thread.

this is an epic troll thread now. everyone knows rotaries chew apex seals driving to the shops, sif you'd talk up a rotary, do anything and you gotta replace apex seals.

Do all neo's have neo coils? Could be a simple answer like that. Also the VCT plug is usually different as well.

I think he point was more they aren't worth the money on a modified skyline, imo you are more likely to ruin a plug from fouling it and can buy something like 10+ sets of coppers for the price of an iridium. If the car is running sweet and doesn't need really small gaps and is tuned properly then the extra kms you can get out of iridiums probably gives them some pros though.
