hey guys

i know what your going to say 'search is your friend'. but i have read them and think i still need some help before blowing good money on aftermaket coil-packs i didnt need.

after installing a powerfc and upping the boost, the car has developed a misfire in two places. the first only happens about half of the time, when coming on boost at wot and low rpm, say 2900. and the second happens all of the time, at 5000rpm+ on full load. the tuner tried to get around it but thinks its the coil packs and couldn't really do much about it.

mods include: bkr7evx platinum plugs, hks fmic, cam gear at 3.5deg., powerfc, evc5 at 0.9bar, 3" full exhaust, shielded pod. te rest is stock turbo, inj, internals, manifolds etc...

i'm thinking one of the following:

collapsing pipe between tubo and afm

fatigued coil packs (highly likely)

air leak (unlikely - all new hoses and clamps etc.)

afm (dirty - i will ask the tuner if the voltage was ok, im sure he would have checked tho, if it was bad this would also eliminate the collapsing pipe)

plugs (fouled - i did the plugs myself at home, drove the car 20km to the dyno, not sure if they would foul up in this time)

any input appreciated.

Hey dude.

Had the samt problem with mine when i upped the boost... and i had the same thought, coil packs... but, I think i may had some good news for you.

It was only the spark plugs. Try putting in some normal NON platmum or iridium plugs, and make sure the gap is 0.6. Use NGK BCP6ES make sure its the NON RESISTOR type.

I'm pretty certain that this will stop your misfiring. Try this first before anything else, as it's the cheapet thing that could go wrong. - looking at your mods, its also the most likely.

Give it a go and lemme know how it goes .

hey ross im having the same problem........i have my car tuned now and i get a couple of slight misfires at 12psi, no where as bad as it was previously but its still annoying.

Im using the bcpr6es and it was suggested to me to try them at 0.6 too, i cant think of what else is doing it other then the coil packs as i dont use a afm now, changed fuel pump, changed plugs from bkr7evx and all hoses and connections are fine.

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
