Hey guys im having some headaches with my R33 GTST. I put a sard fuel pressure reg on it on wednesday night n bumped the pressure up to 52psi at idle. 10psi more than stock reg showed, anyhow it ran fine for one day. Idled normal and ran beautifully on boost. Until the next day it developed a misfire.At cruise and idle would run on 5 cyls but on acceleration would clear itself up n run on 6.

basically i compression tested my engine all readings are the same so scratch that. i swapped coil packs around and number 2 was still the problem so scratch out coil packs. Had a look at all my plugs n they were all very black n number two was soaking wet.

Whacked 6 brand new plugs in there n started it up, after it cleared itself it ran on 6 cyls. had fuel pressure set at 36psi, as soon as i started to bump pressure above 42psi it started to run on 5 cyls again and number two n was still the cylinder misfiring.

Also another thing to note is my idle hunts sometimes when the misfire occurs, like its got a major air leak, 500rpm to 1500rpm n so forth until it stalls. but this isnt all the time. tried squirting water around the intake manifold on number twon injectors to see if it was sucking in air from the seal but no difference. Im stumped, anyone know the symptoms for a faulty injector??

why dont you swap injectors? Move no2 to say no3 and vice versa and see if the problem moves to cylinder 3...

Why are you bumping the fuel pressure up so high? You running an aftermarket turbo, trying to do a manual tune on it so you can run higher boost? Or is it knocking or something?

ok basically the reason i am trying to bump the pressure up is because i had it on the dyno n it made 346hp at the wheels but was running a tad lean top end so was trying to avoid buying injectors for now coz they are expensive, thought a fuel reg may work as a cheaper option coz i want to sell the car but now i have this issue, n the reason i dont change injectors around is coz its one hell of a mission to get the rail out to swap them over. cheers

ended up finding the problem wasnt injector, it was the new sard fuel pressure reg i'd put on, fuel was passing through the regulator into the vacuum line n being sucked into the front of the manifold n straight into number two pot hence the over fueling in that cylinder mainly but fouling plugs, and rough idle. Take vacuum line off top of reg and theres a constant stream of fuel coming out. took a day of driving to give way but yeah. shouldnt overlook new bits hey :s

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
