nah not yet but the fuel pressure was all good when we tested it I have put in an safc2 so I can watch for knock... it just hard to look at cause it doent always happen just every now and then! or it will happen like five times then clear up?

the dyno sheet would show if it was actually leaning out, otherwise you are guessing. if it does show this then the things to check have already been mentioned, otherwise get someone to look at it before you break it.

yeah I would guess a fuel pressure problem - put a gauge on it and make sure you are not short of flow up high. dying fuel pump, fuel pump wiring, blocked filter etc etc etc. some of the jap ecus are a bit leaner than we like but they should not be causing it to ping all the time

Check your TPS.

If it isn't working properly, then you will lose the throttle enrichment, hence, a lean out when you first step on it.

Also, earth the fuel pump as mentioned.

Throw some new plugs in it gapped at 0.8mm

Clamp the return from the fuel rail, that will tell you if the pump can't keep up or the fpr is screwed.

I had the exact same symptoms, mine was a torn diaphram in the fpr so it was leaning it off all the time, as well as a fuel pump with ~10v at it when at full throttle.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
