i noticed one of my coilpacks has the black paint stuff chipping off :D would this contribute to misfire at all???

thanks

no

Are series 2 coils different shape or are they the same , mine has developed this problem....

any photos of a series 2 coil pack would be good thanks.

the pics on page 1 are series 2 coil packs, they are the same shape as series 1.

i got the same problem after fitting the fmic and exhaust. it gets pretty bad on anything over 7psi. im gonna try this and hopefully this will solve it!!!

(it sucks spending all thsi money and not been able to boost it more than 5psi :D)

  • 2 weeks later...

How much time have you guys allowed for the silicone to settle? Did this on my mates skyline last night, yet to put them back in to try...

He also had a white powder on the top of one of his plugs.. would this be related or could the problem be something else making him run lean?

cheers

Is it possible to use an S2 coilpack on an S1? Mine misfires around 4000 - 5000 rpm just a little though. boost is set on 10.5 psi. Not sure how to silicon an S1 coilpack so im thinking maybe use an S2, is this possible?

Ok Ive got splitfires and new connectors and mines still misfiring very slightly on cold nights. Mainly in 3rd but a bit in 2nd as well at around 5000-5500 after and before are fine. Any clues? ive gapped the plugs down to .6 and its an older redtop rb20det. Its gets quite rich about 10:1 once at around 5000rpm

might be running a bit rich. depending on how much boost ur running u might need to tune ur AFR to 12:1

So richness can affect it missing? I plan on getting a SAFC in the future and getting it tuned to 12:1 Its running 11psi on the stock turbo

hey guys, we changed the spark plugs to ngk platinums heat grade 6 with a .9mm gap.

before this it had ngk iridiums heat grade 5 with a 1.1mm gap.

Also took the coils out again, took off all the silicone, put them in a metho bath for 15 minutes, blew them out with an air compressor, then put them in the oven at 80 degrees over night.

Anyway put the car back together and no more misfiring but the car is running like 12psi!!!

Only performance mods to the car are turbo back exhaust with high flow cat, and pod filter..

Just wondering if you guys reckon its just getting a better spark now? hence more boost pressure...(before it was struggling to get to 9psi) or do you think I may not have connected something properly.

so far my mate is loving his car running 12 psi but after he has a bit of fun we are gonna try to find out why because we dont wanna blow anything.

Anyway if you know which vacuum hose we may or may not have connected or connected properly that would make it do this let us know.. or if it is just the better spark then let it be...

before 4500rpm it still limits to 6psi then shoots up to 12psi...which confuses me a bit..

i had a misfire issue as well and i tired everything , but the fix for my car was the fuel filter..i went down to repco and got myself a new one , changed it over and i was running normal again.

once the old fuel filter was out , i blew through it and blackish petrol came out of it , so a bad batch of fuel along the way caused it.

I wanted to silicone mine, but can't find anywhere that stocks it in newcastle. Bunnings here doesn't have it.

Any ideas? I'll start to look at ebay in a minute.

I tried the tape...it fixed it for 2 days, now its bad again.

i cant believe that bunnings doesnt stock it.. you could try an epoxy glue (high temp resistant).

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
