On saturday morning i changed my sparkies. Ive done it before its a pretty standard proceedure. Had BCPR7ES's before, put in 4 BCPR7ES's and two BCPR7ES-11 regapped at 0.8mm. So, they were all at 0.8mm.

Car felt a lot better on power, went out that night, lots of revving etc, car was great. At the same time i also cleaned the coilpacks with some contact cleaner.

So sunday night the car started to develop a stutter. It is not R&R. It is not a misfire, rather it is as the car is being shuffled (like a DJ does a record) while still accelerating.

The reason that i even mentioned the spark plugs is that this is the only thing thats changed in the last few days.

coil packs or wet/dirty afm

I did the same thing as that once. I changed the plugs, put contact cleaner on the coils and the car did the same as yours until i bought new coils. I think it may have been the contact cleaner shrinking the rubber boots or something.

Check the coils :huh:

Pretty much answers your question then.

try iridium BKR6EIX, B7 sounds like to hot a plug unless you run 20psi.

BCPR7ES's are what SK reccomeded.

I run a street tune of 11psi on an untuned engine thou.

I just realized a few more symptoms the other night. For some reason i had massive boost spiking, so I am going to cut the EBC out of the equation and go to actuator spring pressure for a while (which is what the EBC is set to anyway).

Hi Alex, is that with the high flow turbo on? If so, this is what I would do;

1. Check the installation, make sure no loose wires or untightend bolts

2. Get the boost under control

3. Maybe reduce the gap down to 6.5 mm, if you find nothing else wrong

4. Regarding the plug heat range, I use 7's on tuned engines running more than 1 bar. Which would be the case if you had the high flow up to 1.3 bar and had it tuned. Until you up the boost and get it tuned, it may be better off with 6's.

:( cheers :D

When I was in the car, it felt like a slipping senstation.

Like if it was a manual, somebody was slipping the clutch a little, several times a second.

It's quite strange and not like anything I've felt before.

It's not a popping from the plugs, but that doesn't rule them out.

Its also definently R&R unless the Stag engine does that 3-4 times a second....

BASS OUT

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
