Has a haltech piggyback, running 14psi, if that helps? I'm completely stumped on what it is, only started doing it after I changed my clutch which again doesn't make sense, coincidence, was thinking maybe when I jacked the front of the motor up to get the gearbox out I've bent a cable or plug or something?

Should also include, has front mount, ssq bov, haltech piggyback, adjustable fuel reg, 3 inch exhaust, spitfire coil packs, walbro fuel pump, brand new plugs, pod filter, standard afm, stock turbo 14psi tuned by pulse racing ( old owner took it there) manual boost controller

Has anyone got pics of there coils after applying the silicone 401 rtv stuff?

I'm doing this next weekend, do I rub it on with my finger or dip them in a bowl of it?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have that Selley's high temp silicon at home, but I do have red RTV silicone gasket maker which takes temps up to 343C.

Would this work in the same way that the Selley's would?

To answer my own question, I tried using the red RTV silicone gasket maker, wrapped my coilpacks in electrical tape and took my car for a drive.

Car didn't misfire from 5000rpm+, but now sometimes hunts on idle. Will see how it holds up after Haunted Hills this Saturday!

what temperature grade of tape did you use?

what brand?

I used a house brand (Repco) electrical tape which cost me $1 for the roll. I assume you're in Canada from your name, so to explain, Repco is just a standard auto parts store.

My opinion is that the silicone is what's sealing it and the tape is just an extra measure on top in case I didn't get a 100% seal.

Also lasted a full track day with no missing.

Iv got a s2 r33 and about a month ago after driving it in the morning by the afternoon the car sounded like wrx, so horrible miss to dropping a cyclinder. I changed the coil packs to yellow jackets, new spark plugs, new coilpack loom and a new oxy sensor. Car ran sweet for about 3 weeks better then ever, more power ect. All of a sudden driving her today started her up after driving from one place to another and it started a lil strange like it did the first time it happened. Turn key and its startes with a bit of a bang like too much fuel, so a high rmp start somehow and then back to sounding like a wrx. Only time car sounds normal is on the coats down from reving the car. I am now stumped so need some help

    • It's sodium citrate, I misspoke earlier. It's a citrate buffer solution. And yes, depending on how thin the metal in the tank is this may or may not be a wise decision but if it's just mild rust it should clean off and it should be fine. 
    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
