im running heat range 7 plug gapped at .8

I run 7's aswell and have found them to be a bit touchy if the mixtures aren't right, I occasionally get a fouled plug on warm start and the engine drops a cylinder temporarily, so it may be contributing to your problem aswell. But check mixtures first.

all fixed now i put in splitfire coils and regapped to 1.1 and the car revs cleanly! its wonderful 2 drive now hehe

This is IMO absolutley ECU.

To back it up.

I have a Jaycar DFA - it's a air flow voltage adjuster that works like a safc.

The DFA has a switching mechanism that turns on the voltage regulation, only atfer the car has started.

I installed it and had it tuned and my car was going well, with no misfire. It had repaired colipacks and spark gapped at 0.8mm.

Anyway, one night, my car seemed sluggish at 10psi. This was at the start of winter this year. Then on cold nights, it would pop and fart and misfire etc.

After checking things out, I found that the adjustment for the DFA to kick in after the car had started was out, and not kicking in. The original afm voltage was being put though to the ECU. After recalibrating the DFA so it would kick, the car went better than ever, all problems solved.

It would seem that on cold nights, the air is denser ^whatBHDavesaid^ and your ecu dumps heaps of fuel in making the mixture rich. This will cause misfire. It's like a protection mode. Seems to happen with engines fitted with pods and intercoolers more frequently.

Now your colis might not be good enough, but I would think that if your colis are stuffed, you would get the misfire all of the time, and not just when cold.

So your solution IMO is to get an apexi Power FC Computer, or an apexi SACF2 , or build a Jaycard DFA. Then get whatever you pick tuned.

I also netted a 20kw or more gain with the DFA. If I get more money, (and I don't sell the skyline) I will be buying a Power FC from a group buy from the forum.

I'd be interested to know if this gain was due more to the ability to run more boost, or just A/F tuning, as I have built the hand controller and am about to get the DFA. this is what my A/F looks like at 9psi. I'd love to get an extra 20-25RWKW with a bit more boost

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
