Thanks Erik,

the car is just:

cat back 90mm

k&N filter

turbosmart type2 BOV

bleed valve running 10psi

and SAFC II

still have the miss problem though, so i know what im upto this weekend. will have to sort out if its the coil packs or the ignitor module or the plugs :)

i will be at pool place this thursday night, may see you there.

Nate

I don't think Genie's dyno is as bad as everyone says.... When Xspeed had my car and took it to Genie to dyno as part of the tune I got 285rwhp on the Genie Dyno.... At our SAU dyno day at SST my car pulled 284.4 HP.... both are very close results to each other....

Brett, I agree, but the real issue is they they still have correction factors, which means if they want to see a big difference, then they can make it happen. SST and one other place has had there correction factors removed, and there dyno figure can't lie.

Change your plugs to NGK BCP6ES coppers...they rock.  Steve put these into my car when I developed a miss whilst he was tuning it, my iridiums could not handle any more than 200hp, the NGK's fired perfectly up to 260hp.

what did ya gap them to ?? 0.8mm yeah

well... its believed that the miss may be caused by a AFM!

im heading down to cypher on saturday to see if i can swap one over...

i have checked the coil packs, and they all read 0.7 ohms across the pins, and plugs are fine.

so its either the AFM or the ignitor module... i dont know... its all too much!

    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
