Has a haltech piggyback, running 14psi, if that helps? I'm completely stumped on what it is, only started doing it after I changed my clutch which again doesn't make sense, coincidence, was thinking maybe when I jacked the front of the motor up to get the gearbox out I've bent a cable or plug or something?

Should also include, has front mount, ssq bov, haltech piggyback, adjustable fuel reg, 3 inch exhaust, spitfire coil packs, walbro fuel pump, brand new plugs, pod filter, standard afm, stock turbo 14psi tuned by pulse racing ( old owner took it there) manual boost controller

Has anyone got pics of there coils after applying the silicone 401 rtv stuff?

I'm doing this next weekend, do I rub it on with my finger or dip them in a bowl of it?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have that Selley's high temp silicon at home, but I do have red RTV silicone gasket maker which takes temps up to 343C.

Would this work in the same way that the Selley's would?

To answer my own question, I tried using the red RTV silicone gasket maker, wrapped my coilpacks in electrical tape and took my car for a drive.

Car didn't misfire from 5000rpm+, but now sometimes hunts on idle. Will see how it holds up after Haunted Hills this Saturday!

what temperature grade of tape did you use?

what brand?

I used a house brand (Repco) electrical tape which cost me $1 for the roll. I assume you're in Canada from your name, so to explain, Repco is just a standard auto parts store.

My opinion is that the silicone is what's sealing it and the tape is just an extra measure on top in case I didn't get a 100% seal.

Also lasted a full track day with no missing.

Iv got a s2 r33 and about a month ago after driving it in the morning by the afternoon the car sounded like wrx, so horrible miss to dropping a cyclinder. I changed the coil packs to yellow jackets, new spark plugs, new coilpack loom and a new oxy sensor. Car ran sweet for about 3 weeks better then ever, more power ect. All of a sudden driving her today started her up after driving from one place to another and it started a lil strange like it did the first time it happened. Turn key and its startes with a bit of a bang like too much fuel, so a high rmp start somehow and then back to sounding like a wrx. Only time car sounds normal is on the coats down from reving the car. I am now stumped so need some help

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
