hey guys i got some plugs and changed my spark plugs yesterday , I was told by mechanic to run BKR7E and regap them at around 0.6mm gap . Now it idles great and doesnt hunt , drives real smooth but when i get it a hit it sounds terrible like a spark breakdown sound around 6,0000 and above . Im running fully built engine with Splitfires and i have never had this issue but then again i have never run that gap or plug before , (always BCPR7ES @ 0.8MM) also now im noticing my 555cc injectors reach 100% without really any load/boost ?

what have i done to my car ? can anyone help me

are you running 555cc and Z32 with an untuned PowerFC?

I'm assuming this from your latest thread about idle problems.

If so, it's makes perfect sense why your injectors are smashing 100% and your car is misfiring.

if the injectors are randomly hitting 100% under light load then check your afm wiring. i had a similar problem with the same setup, a dodgy afm wire was randomly earthing out and sending the pfc 5.1v when just cruising along

Yeh it could have that I'll look into it ? Do I just Check all wires are ok and not touching or do I have to pull apart and re solder ? Btw my car is makin 288rwkw and never maxed out past 75% until now . Fixed issue with plugs .. But still 100% duty with no splitterin . Can a slipping clutch cause faulty readings?

    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
    • I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators. 
    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
    • In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.
