Quick info on the back ground

Have just installed greddy style plenum onto r33, has hiflowed injectors, splitfire coils etc

Took it too a mech to get it running a touch smoother and maybe fix the misfire. The car is idling better etc but the misfire is still there.

He has replaced the plugs and all 6 ARE firing

All injectors are squirting but number 6 he was suspect of.

He has checked all vac lines, cooler pipes etc..

The car is acting like it is a vac leak and before the manifold the car was tuned and running fine at 260rwkw.

Now is is possible that the manifold has not quite sealed right back at the last cylinder

OR

the injector o-ring where the injector presses against in the rail.

The mech/tuner is good at most things..but nistune is something he does not do.

Any other ideas...

I'm dying to be back on the road...please help

Thanks guys

Yeah plugs have been checked...the car is running a rich as I need the afm settings changed again.

It's a constant miss on the 6th cylinder only and everything points to a vac leak

It struggles to drive around town but feed it some revs and it drives alot better.

Had the plenum pressure tested also

Now today I started the car...white smoke which is generally oil, as last night was its first drive, I'm assuming built up oil in the intercooler from the rocker vent has found its way back to the plenum?

So I though stuff it, pulled out cyl6 injector...o-ring has had it-I would say this is flooding and not igniting as its to wet, causing misfire and rich conditions.

Checked another injector. This one was not as bad but is not at all good.

So I pulled the pulled the plugs, cyl 4 and 6...both wet with fuel but have fired since being replaced yesterday...have splitfire coil packs and theyre fine.

So I'm selling some parts on here I don't need, wondering whether I buy new o-rings OR when the stuff sells buy new JECS 650cc injectors rather than my hi flowed factory items?

Ahhhhh joys

Also no water in oil and vice versa-compression is fine

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
