yes, find somone with the same car with zero missfire problems. then raid their set-up for their coil pack loom. it's only a short piece, easy to swap. make sure you just change 1 thing at a time, so start with your orig set-up. then try loom. then try coil packs, then ignitor etc. also i'd suggest if you are running more boost than stock or plan to go for BCPR7ES (they come gapped at 0.8mm) as they are one heat range cooler.

can anyone tell me if letting the ignitor just hang without being attached anywhere is ok?

Its a pain putting and removing the the center valve cover.

Ive heard of a couple of guys here whove killed a ignitor from letting it just hang there....

i will bring a old thread up as i dont want to start another thread on splitfires etc

my problem is that my r33 miss fires from around 4800? thru to 7000rpm im guessing as the vct kicks in it starts miss firing mods are

stage3 slidingperformance hiflow

intercooler

3" from turbo no cat

walbro fuel pump

now ive only had the hiflow for about 3 days now,and since bolting it on it miss fires on all boost settings including stock 7psi, before with stock turbo it would only do it anything above 7psi so i could run stock 7psi wen it would carry on and could rev it cleanly... i was using .8 gap on my plugs so yesterday i explored and regapped the plugs to .6 they are a ngk plug heat range 7...now this has fixed all my miss fire problems runs like a dream on 7 thru to 13psi

now if since i regapped to .6 it fixed my miss wat was the weak link before that? coils? stock ecu? ive ordered splitfires thru sliding they sould be here within the week,im not fussed if they were my problem but i wanted to get them anyway b4 powerfc so ive got it all sorted b4 it goes for a tune..so have any of u guys got a clue as to why .6 gap runs perfect and .8 gap onwards it misses terribly.

sydneykid give me some info! u seem 2 be the man around here lol

.6 means less of a gap to jump for the spark, like when the coils are worn etc, on healthy coils you can put the gap back up!

same issue i had!

I would have tested the coil packs first...

there is a thing in DIY about it if i recall.

well would stock coils handle 250rwkw i wasn't sure if they would so thats why i wanted to upgrade the coils its only $600

stock coils fine a 250rwkw-will be fine for alot more power to as long as they are in good nick- I changed mine at 300rwkw

whilst at the Veilside workshop earlier this year I was poking around their 7 second, over 1000hp R32 GTR... guess what. standard coils. not sure if they run them all the time, but it was definately using them whilst I was there.

like mr660hp said. the coils are great providing they are in tip top shape which after 10 or so years in a hot engine they generally are not in good shape.

thats probably the main reason i changed mine as mine are in 1993 r33 and are gettin old and would only cause the miss fire after they heat up!

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
