Hey guys

Iv had my r33 s2 for bout 6 months and for the first 4 months it ran sweet. But all of a sudden it developed a miss so the first thing I did was turn my boost down to stock levels as it was at 10psi. This didn't stop the miss, oh and I had just recently done a service on it and changed the plugs and gapped them to .7.

Over a few weeks it got worse so I found some second hand coilpacks from on here and the guy who had them said they worked fine at 14 psi for him.

Why is it that now after a few weeks of having them in it is still missing?The miss was not as bad when I first put the coils in and it would take more boost around 10psi again but it has died off and has started to miss like bitch again. I'm planning on getting some yellow jackets or spitfires in a few weeks but if you guys have any clue as to what else it could be any help would be awsome! My list of mods are

3" exhaust

Fmic

Blitz dual sbc

Apexi afc neo

Pod filter

Pleeeze helps me I don't like having no powers!! =[

S2 don't have an ignitor. Does it miss when idling? If so, you should be able to narrow down which cylinder is missing by unplugging each coil pack individually in turn. Then when you have found the one that didn't worsen the idle from unplugging it, you can swap it with a coil pack from a different cylinder to see it the problem moves with it. If the problem moves with it, Bingo! You've solve the mystery. If the problem remains on the same cylinder then it means that something else is the issue like possible injector problem or coil pack loom etc....

It does miss a little on idle but it is bad under load. I use Bp ultimate. The plugs are coming up 5000 ks and can't remember what plugs I'm using think they bcpre6 or something like that

Hey mate,

I'd make sure you have the platinum or similar spark plugs which are about $23 ea first.

I'm having a similar problem to you though. Although mine happens under load not on idle, idles fine. you can take your coils out and get some good insulation electrical tape (not cheap shit) and tape 3 or 4 layers over the stem of the coil as they earth out somehow. I did this with mine but its still missing under load but not as bad. I advise to get someone you know who has good coils and try them in your car. Then you can eliminate the coils. As far as i know the stem earths out under load aswell as the maind part breaks down. I think mine are breaking down at the main part. Im getting some coils off a guy in QLD and i hope it fixes the problem..

If not it could be the coil loom. Its just a process of elimination which is easy as you can do it your self ;)

Also what ECU are you running? stock?

I'm running a Wolf 3D ver 4 which isnt the best but i know it has been tuned to 310HP when i first got the car so the computer isnt the issue with mine.

Hope this helps dude.

Yeah mine happens under load as well just on idle it skips every now and then so no miss on idle. Yeah got stock ecu i have added front mount and recirc blow off valve since getting the car so it could probably do with some adjusting on the afc neo but I will go over things on Sunday and see how things look permitting its not bloody hot!! What plugs do you recommend using kier?? Cheers for the feedback fellas

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
