Dropped the car off yesterday.

I was upstairs waiting for a lift to the station and unknown to me they had taken the car and put it on the Dyno and did a few runs , after a while I was taken down to watch and the car went to 8000rpm in 5th ???????

I could not even free rev it to 5500rpm and hold it there without it farting and blowing black, farked if I know ?

Anyway , cannot wait to have it sorted :)

Did they make changes to the tune so it would rev cleanly?

Anyway, as mentioned I would hope they drive it in the road to confirm the issue is gone.

Would be nice to see a dyno printout with the Afr shown.

Can't wait for it to be all sorted !

So why didn't you take them for a drive so they could asses the problem when driven normally?

You cannot drive it like that in a 60 zone.

They will have to do it , I am sure they have somewhere to take it for this type of thing, I am sure they do not want to give it back before it is OK?

Be interesting to find out where the water is going :/

I hate being suspicious but , 2 minds think alike, maybe tweaked before or a hose off/loose, then they got me to have a look , I have no idea??

But as long as they fix it I do not care :)

They only ever seem to run one type of Dyno readouts.

so it wouldn't be some kind of surge( fuel, oil) from accelerating so hard would it? cant remember what you did to it now...

That would of sounded angry... take any vids??

I never had the fuel under 1/3rd , they told me not to go below 1/4 until I get a surge tank if I am going to push t a little,

Had a 9Lt custom sump.

No Vids

He said he couldn't even free rev it above 5500.

Seriously dude. You should have taken them and shown them what the problem is.

But I still hope they find the issues

NO, I free revved it and sitting on 5500rpm it started farting.

They have to work it out, all they have to do is drive it , they will fix it, no problem :)

I just wonder if they tweaked it yesterday on the dyno, it never went over 7000rpm without sounding like you hit the limiter but it is set at 8500rpm

    • 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 😄  
    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
