I should have my car back this Friday and it will have a HKS CDI installed as well. Will see if the miss still occurs.

cool

I'd like to see what actually gets replaced with the CDI system - just to be sure that I have covered all bases

anyone know exactly what's in one of these kits ?

i have one sitting on my desk infront of me right now...

it doesnt replace anything at all. you get a little bronze coloured box and a wiring harness (i purchased the BNR32 specific harness). the harness intercepts the TPS wiring to get power, and the wiring between the stock transistor pack and the coils.

i can post pics when i get home from work where my camera is.

so

the std ingnitor (little silver thingy @ the back of the engine) is NOT get replaced

what about the std spark plug loom - does the new loom replace that or just plug into the existing one !!!

it provides BIGGER/FASTER spark - which is what my splitfire coils were supposed to be doing :(

all the stock looms and parts are still used.

Well guys

I think I have mode some progress here

I have moved the earth lead that comes off the ignitor pack.

I installed a grounding kit

I replaced my +ve and -ve battery terminals (with better quality units)

I did all this on Saturday (3 days ago) and so far - no more missfire

will let you know if it comes back

  • 2 weeks later...
still got good results ?

Well - funny you should ask

The car had been running fine - with NO missfire at all for the past couple of weeks

BUT

I had the guys at Mercury Motor sport do some work on the car early last week - and they removed the ignitor pack (to check the temp of my plugs) and when they put it back I suspect that they move the earth wire again

the up shot is that my missfire is now BACK !!!

I'll have a look at this again over the coming weekend and let you know if I fix it again :(

Where did you move the earth wire to?

Just to give you something else to think about...

On the datalogit forums there's a brief mention regarding the pfc's Ign dwell vs RPM values.

It was noted that at low rpm the pfc defaults are too great causing the coils to over heat and run a tad too warm.

At high rpm 'apparently' they need a little beefing up. Nothing conclusive but something to look at.

It was mentioned that the splitfire coils require slightly different values to that of the genuine nissan coils.

The bloke doing the testing measured the values with some special tool designed to measure dwell vs rpm.

Well something along those lines anyway. :(

I installed a new engine cover (the bit in the middle that covers the coil packs) - this allowed me to move the ignitor pack back up on top of the engine cover. I took that opportunity to make sure I had a good earth when I moved it (which I assume the guys from Mercury have not)

Prior to having the engine cover on - the coils and the ignitor pack shared the same earth - and I was just using one of the screw holes that holds the coil pack (plug) leads in place

I plan to make a dedicated earth strap over to the -ve battery terminal over the weekend - so I will let you know how that goes.

Any idea how I would check my Ignition/dwell/RPM settings – can I check this with just the HC - I do not have any 'special tools' :P

I do run Splitfire coils BTW

itbilmils,

Was this what fixed it or was the std earths (with a nice clean surface) with the cover on sufficient?

  • 2 weeks later...

mine does this now...

i might have to try to relocate the earth for the ignitor....

does this miss do any damage?? my knock is normally below 15 any way, and the miss fire only happens once in a week or so...it only happens at cruising speed, and very light throttle...

Yeah the night my power fc went in mine started doing this. it has a great tune with minimal knock every now and then when driving off boost and making the transition to decent load I get a missfire but thats it then it just revs normally.

Like I said doesn't happen often and has not got any worse in 3 years.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
