Hey forum need to ask your help with an issue I am having. I will try to be as thorough as possible in explaining the problem. Car just finished a rebuild were everything was replaced, drove car on friday everything was running well. Cut it off after reaching destination and about an hour later started her up and noticed a miss on cylinder 5. Drove it still missing on number 5 and while doing so it backfired very loudly every time I took my foot off the gas. Got to my next destination were I cut it off to check on number 5, found out that the o-ring on the injector was torn so figured that was the source of the problem also at the same time the starter went bad tried to start the car and it would begin to roll but then lock up and the entire engine would shake from it after doing that a few times with the same result decided to get another starter in the morning. Got a starter, a new set of injectors and another cas just in case and replaced ball of those items, got the car started only to get a miss on both cylinder 3 and 6. Checked for fuel and spark on both cylinders and both were getting fuel and spark. Replaced the injector loom, coilpack loom and the two suspect coilpacks with working items off another car and got nothing. Put all the original parts back in started the car again and now only number three misses. Did the checks on number 3 again and got spark plus fuel but cylinder still misses. Can any of you guys help to identify the problem. Car had nismo 555 changed them to 650's running a power fc with new super spark coilpacks. The CAS had also died but that was before this incident and had that replaced already and also replaced it again just n case this time with a known working one. So the miss went from 5 to 3 to 3 and 6 now just to 3. All help will be appreciated, thanks.

WOW nobody has any advice? Another thing is that the #3 cylinder never fires,I drove it home today and when doing my checks noticed it is now the #2 and 3 cylinder that is not firing. The #2 was working fine yesterday and now it is not just like yesterday it was the 6 and 3. Now the 6 fires and the #2 has gone. The #3 never comes and goes like the other 2 have and they just happened to do this between today and yesterday. The #3 was working before the huge backfire but after the starter did the seizing thing and we got it to start again the #3 has never fired since. Can timing being out a tooth cause this type of problem.

pull out the spark plugs and check condition,

your better off getting the injectors the car is tuned with cleaned and checked then put them in with new orings.

but definately need to get the plugs out and have a good look at them even post up some pics.

if you got some money go grab some new cheapy plugs and throw them in see if it makes a difference.

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
