Needs side skirts and front bar support yet

Had it on the dyno yesterday.. had some normal teething issues and some not so normal once.. had oil leaks and coolant leaks everywhere...including a leak from the radiator :/ anyway sorted that shit out and then started the run in process. the engine was run in for a bit with some hard core load by holding it at 4000 rpm and then increasing the load, did that for a bit and its sweet... engine runs and sounds great. however once we started getting into the tune we found it would just missfire like crazy at anything over 4000 rpm and 12 psi boost.

Decs tried pulling fuel and timing out, adding fuel and timing and a combination of both, nothing made a difference. we tried gapping the plugs down to 0.5mm then 0.8 and then 1.2mm. none made it better. Coil packs were brand new 34 GTR Splitfires. only thing we can put it down to was faulty coilpacks.. so that effectively ended it for me. On top of this drama i have a clutch that doesnt disengage properly.

as you have just rewired it your miss fire may be being caused by electrical interference into the CAS wiring. running the 2 white shielded wires near the coil packs or to close to the injectors or anything that may cause electrical "noise" can make the ecu miss read the signals. when i wire rotaries it is very important that the ignition wiring and crank signal wiring are separate as they are prone to misfire then killing engines.

i have also had CAS die randomly and they will cause an under load fault. checking on the ecu shows it should have X amount of timing but checking with a timing light shows actual ignition timing far less. will be fine untill load is applied.

im sure you have checked it but fuel pressure will also cause a miss under load. not sure if you have put a gauge in it yet but as your lift pump was faulty you may still have an issue. depending what brand E85 you are using it may be killing your pumps/injectors. i know of local racers that have had 2 or 3 pumps go in as many events due to the brand/quality of E85. this is because E85 is Hydroscopic and will take in water. E85 manufactures are allowed to add a small amount of H2O to the mix but this can and will cause seizures of pumps and injectors.

hope that gives you a few leads if you done have it sussed already.

new loom is a haltech loom, comes with shielded cables for the CAS and triggers. Cas wiring runs under the intake manifold where as the ignition wiring runs from behind the head straight to the valley cover. I doubt thats the issue. We initially thought a faulty CAS or wandering signal might have been the issue... i held a timing light on the timing marks while decs ran it up to the point where it would missfire and the timing did not move around at all.

fuel pressure is spot on.. 40psi at idle and rises to 60 psi by 4000 rpm + boost pressure. does not move at all also.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
