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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
