Hey Guys,

Heres the story.

Changed the motor in the r33 and replaced it with a S2 motor, using the s1 coil packs and wiring harness.

Now under load and above 4000rpm it is missing and popping quite a bit. The s1 coil packs which are being used were working perfectly fine before the motor change.

I have changed plugs with new NGK Bcpr6es gapped at 1.1 . Beforehand it was missing at all rev range, now its just missing above 4000rpm.

Boost gauge is showing about 0.4 - 0.5 bar, HOWEVER, the turbo seems to be sounding like it is spooling quite a lot more than before the motor change. (Alot more whistle).

Possible causes is that I have hooked up the vacuum lines wrong? (The s2 motor has some different vac setup). But there is no hunting at idle and its not running rich?

Also, there is a really small vac hose at the rear of the inlet manifold, I cannot find where this once went?? Its about a 3-4mm diameter. Could this be the cause and if so, where does it go lol Im shocking..

I know alot of you will say coilpacks, based on what the search has showed me. But I would like to tackle some other areas first before i go fork out for some splitfires!!

Any help would be muchly appreciated :)

u tried taping the coils up with electrical tape? that stops sparks escaping out of small hairline cracks on ur coils at high rpms.my series 1 always used to do that, i tape it up,,redline beautifully.either that or try using series 2 coil packs coz theyre different,,

good luck chuck

cheers

Its a S2 engine, using the S1 coilpacks and S1 wiring/ecu etc.

Will try the tape i think. But the turbo noise is waaay different than beforehand.

Are S1 and S2 turbos different at all?

Try gapping the plugs at 0.8mm most Skylines will miss running standard coils with a gap of 1.1.

I believe that that the series 2 turbo's are different using different inlet and exhaust wheels.

Also if it sounds like its running lots of boost on the standard ecu it could be hitting boost cut.

THIS.

Plugs need to have 0.8mm gap.

My factory standard S2 was missing above 5000 on factory boost (low-hi mode = 5-7psi)

changed to BCP6RES-8 (BCP6RES-11 = 1.1mm gap)

if you cant find BCP6RES-8, just look for BCP6RES, pull it out of the box and either measure or compare it to a -11.

provided your coil packs and leads are good, there's no other reason why it'd be missing above 4000rpm.

People told me all sorts of things like new coil packs ($800 for splitfires?), fuel cut etc.

changed to a set of six $6.00 BCP6RES spark plugs and problem magically solved.

also dont but platinums or iridiums, plain copper is fine for mildly modded engines provided you change them every 10,000kms or so.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
