Yesterday I wanted to suss out whether my coilpacks had any obvious signs of giving up. My car had developed a hesitation from around 4500rpm to 5500 rpm which was annoying but otherwise didn't really affect performance. Anyway I hadn't banked on simply taking the cover to be as big a pain as it is and ran out of time to take the coilpacks out and/or inspect/replace the spark plugs. The coilpack cover didn't appear to serve any major purpose other than to possibly lower the heat getting so left the cover off and reattached everything.

Anyway this morning driving to work the car drove well while still in cold start but as the car warmed it seemed to miss a bit when just cruising at 60 in 4th. It wasn't a major issue and work is very close. On the drive home it did the same thing only problem is it's warmer midday as well as there being much more traffic meaning bit longer commute home. Therefore as the car warmed up the issue got worst and worst I never tried to boot it but it got to a point where only very small throttle could be used otherwise the car would go nowhere. My guess was that some part of the coilpack cover is used for grounding but after inspecting it I can't seem to find this to be the particularly due to the fact the cover is plastic.

Is this my coilpacks having given up altogether suddenly? I don't think there is anything loose or unplugged have double checked that. Seems strange it gets a lot worst with the motor warmed up compared to cold.

    • Actually looks like a Nitrous setup now 😆
    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
