Missfire Boost@4500-5500 RPM - The Answer! (for me at least!)


Recommended Posts

Taping trick worked perfectly for me!

After finally finding the factory hose with restrictor in it for 7psi, once the car was hitting 7psi, was having massive amounts of missfire which wasn't there under lower boost. Pulled the coils out, clear arcing signs on the side of the coil (no cracks though). Gave them a tape up, and now it happily pulls right through!

Hopefully it lasts!

Had a thought today, instead of taping the coils up has anyone tried plastidipping them?

I think they originally designed it as a insulation coating for tools, and it seems pretty heat resistant so I'm sure it would work

It seems the tape doesn't stick well over time, and the ability to layer up the plastidip to get a thick coating means it should be pretty durable?

Don't forget you can always use heat shrink down the "shaft" to the plug,

and/OR make up a set of Acetal coil plates - can't give this mod enough praise!!

I had a problem with misfiring but ONLY under full boost, 24psi, (12psi was fine)

turned out my coil packs were shorting to earth so I made up some Acetal

mounting plates and the miss is GONE, car has never run smoother!!

I got the idea from an overseas forum where this fix was solving heaps of problems for people.

I was actually thinking of making some more up If people might be interested in purchasing them?

Guess that depends on each persons situation, both financially and physically.

Every coil pack breaks down over time, at this point in time my problem was the coil packs earthing out,

By installing the plates, at a quarter of the cost vs new packs, it did remove my problem.

also allowing better cooling for the packs as the alloy brackets transfer more heat that is responsible for destroying them.

Wher is it that you guys tape up? I recently got new coils but stil habe this problem, have tried everything that i can think of and have found online abut the peoblem exept silicon/taping the cpims (because they are brand new)

    • The 5-6hrs is get is plenty? Sometimes I even get up to 7.....
    • Some nice details on this Nismo GT-R LM by Kyosho https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/kyosho-original-1-43-bcnr33-nissan-skyline-gt-r-nismo-lm
    • Have a forged r34 using 10w60 mobile 1 running around 700 mark fly.    i only used it 200 miles since last march when oil and filter was done. Now I will be using it more often and set to change oil and throw away what I had opened from last year.   Question is, does oil setting on shelf for a year or so breakdown or even few years?   how about sitting in engine?   engine rebuild will be a lot more costly hence why I change it every 12 month and wanted to get some opinion   question 2 is around timing belt, was done 4 years or maybe 5 years ago and since car done less than 1.5k miles. Would you change it ?
    • Nice! Love to hear the new exhaust. Remember to run the car without the exhaust for shits and giggles   I got my car booked into a local exhaust shop to see if they can help with the raspy exhaust note at around 3k rpm when under heavy load for mine. I have a HKS system but also some High Flow Cats.
    • Struggled as well. Got a 3:33.250 but couldn't find the half a second to get silver. I always slowed too much at the Esses du Karting section (specifically the last left hander going on to Maison Blanche). There's a good 1 - 1.5 seconds to be picked up there for sure. The other 1.5 seconds needed for gold would be just cleaning up the rest of the slower corners. I did notice though watching the ghost replays of guys getting 3:25's, they used the green painted surfaces to the extreme, with barely the inside tyres on the ripple strips. It looked like they had the car completely on the green paint at times (but obviously still contacting the ripple strips).
