do the job properly and get splitfires ;)

some of us are students and must survive on rice and soy sauce to keep the beast running :rofl:

btw if you gonna use the silicon sealer make sure you use the industrial grade stuff like MKDR33 said, as the normal silicon wont withstand high temperatures.

This stuff withstand up to 205c i hope it doesnt get much hotter than that in engine bay

i've attached a picture, a bit dark but should help. It cost just under $11 in bunnings, can't go wrong m8

:rofl:

The tape will shrink after a while... the only repair solution is the Industrial Grade Silicone... it has been way over 6 months since i have done my coil packs and (knock on wood) there is no misfire to be seen..

Edited by QRI05E

what part do you silicon on the s1 coils? do you have to leave the metal bit that bolts down clean or just soak it in the sh*t? i pulled my engine apart last night thought the timing belt jumped a tooth but after spendin 5 hours pullin things apart only thing left is the coils

i have left the metal brace clean, this does not affect the coilpack, but if you are soaking them you might aswell soak the whole coilpack..

yeh, i didnt have to regap neither, but this fellow reckons he is still getting missfires, unless its running too rich, maybe he should try regap them just incase..

also its a good idea to regap if ur thinking of running over 12psi boost..

whereabouts are the cracks generally, and how far across does the tape need to go?any reason why not to tape around that whole section of the coil?pics would be much appreciiated, still dont quite know where to tape, and will be doing in the weekend again

yeh i know that mate, i mean does the tape go all e way around the coil or just around the cracked bit?also in the pics i dont se any cracks???

They are hairline, you can barely see them. Get a magnifying glass and they should be more obvious. Tape the entire thing to be sure, a few wraps around every bit of it. Often there is blueish scalding there from the heat.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
