Hi all,

Just changed the turbo exhaust manifold gasket and car is much quiter

Also changed the plugs which god knows how long they were there with which were bkr5 to bkr6

Car runs fine and did a zero to sixty under 6.4 as that is how i am measuring its power:D

But two issues from 4k upward the car seems dead and power band is flat . As far as i know the neo moves from 5 psi to 7 but that isnt working i guess

Also sound of turbo is lesss

Second issue is misfire

You can hear the missess every now and then when car is standing idle or when reving and it revs down you can hear the spits backs

What can it be?

Plug changed( could it be too cold for my engine?)

Coilpack cleaned and used dielectric on it

Turbo gasket fixed

The fuel canister pipe was leaking a bit of air which i fixed it but no improvement

Does the consult software tell you anything ?

How would you narrow the misfire?

Many thanks

You could swap the coil packs around to see if you can localise the cause.

One point to add is , my coil pack connectors click things that ensure the coil is in tight is place is broken however i check it and all are in all the way

Also engine light , anti slip and hicas came on

I did move out the plugs and each caused the engine to run worse suggesting they are working

I think i have just figured out the issue




Here it is , i cleaned the plugs and applied dielectric to it to the round of the coils and then inserted the jacket or isolator


Now in the process one of the plugs had its spring come out as it seems it was glued to the based as with all other ones so i manually inserted it in and put the coil back but it was loose so had to hold it by hand while putting that single coil on the plug


As i changed the plug , it could have dropped out so there is bo spring in there which can mean one of the coils is playing up


I need to open then all again to check, can the spring cause such issues and if so can you get the spring on its own ?

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
