Now my car doesn't misfire giving it stick in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear all the way to redline, but when I'm cruising in 4th gear and lay into it, soon as the gate cracks open I get this unusual jerking/misfire/popping action

Not sure why it doesn't do it in other gears but only in 4th when ramping it up to max boost?

Thought my old splitfires were tired so I put brand new ones in, and fresh plugs at .8mm,

Issue still there

Checked and cleaned all the earths too

New alternator

Last time i gave it a hit in 3rd and into 4th at high revs it didn't do it, but I wanna test that again and see

I'm stumped, any ideas ?

Sounds very crazy but how rich is your car running on noise?

Remember E85 doesn't like being too rich. If you convert to gasoline scaling E85 likes to burn around 12.2 to 12.7.

I did have issues with my shitbox misfiring completely when my AFRs dropped below 11.6 another crazy thing about E85 if you run very low timing it will also miss. This was what I've read and also experienced when I was tuning my car.

I used 98 timing on E85 at high boost as a starting point when I was tuning and it would misfire.

Now I've ironed out those issues, I've got a freaking voltage drop problem lol

      Squeaky bushes

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Just install a grease nipple into the centre of the outer steel of the FUCA. Make sure the bushes aren't long enough to touch each other underneath that nipple. Cut a few mm off each if need be. Then you can push grease in there while it is all assembled. That was the very first thing I did (to all 4 ends) of the FUCAs on my 32 when I put Whiteline adjustable bushes into them. They would squeeze the grease out real fast, and I could squeeze it back in faster.

      @GTSBoy I found the issue (sort of) when I took apart the bushing again, it was completely dry inside! When I experimented with it, all the grease would push out when I would compress the bushings. I wonder if this has anything to do with me putting in the poly bush first on both sides and then pushing in the metal barrel. Maybe I should have put in the metal barrel first then the rubber bushings so the spread pattern is different.   It's fixed (for now).

      Can't put strut back

      Just redid that entire job. 4 hours, but tightened everything properly. Had to jack the rotor instead of having the car on blocks as there was no room for the FUCA arms to tighten and the j arm. All good now. Cheers for the help!

      I would sell those side feeds before you hydra-lock a motor. I won't say too much about Yellow Jackets because I'll hurt people's feelings, however ask those that tune RBs day in/out what they think of them.

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄
