Hi fellas ,

i know there's a similar post ,but mine is behaving a little different .

For instance , i went to overtake someone on the hwy yesterday so dropped it back a gear , gave it some beans next thing it cuts out under full throttle , buy cutting out i mean nothing happened at all until i backed off the throttle . mainly just misses under load/boost . Ive sealed the coilpacks(standard) , checked the plugs (iridium) , and cleaned the AFM . Runs standard boost , and only mod is 3.5in turbo back stainless exhaust .

Any help would be appreciated.

might be worth checking for fault codes. if you discover a fault code then that will tell you exactly what the problem is and save a bit of guesswork. if there is no fault code then it becomes a process of elimination.

Well the cutting out comes and goes , but it consistently misses down low under load/boost with anything more than half throttle. might have to check for fault codes

thanks for the help

mine was exactly as you described, tried to fix the existing coils which didnt work. i then forked out on some new coils and it fixed it.

Yeah i changed all filters hoping that would solve it , but ended up forking out for some new coils (yellow jackets) and what do you know , no more miss !! Car drives beautiful and smooth now , noticeably more torque down low in the rev range .Quite impressed in the build quality of the yellow jackets , so its a :thumbsup: from me

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
