HI All

so i got my new splitfires today, put them in, ran 1.0mm gap, and getting missfire at the usual rpm 4500-6000. Only running 10psi of boost, had no problems wiht old coils at 0.55-0.6mm at the same boost,

SO WHAT THE HELL. The reason i got these is to stop the missfire and increase my gap to increas mid range pull and fuel ecconomy, so gapping down is a bit of a waste of my money.

Is it possible that the earth might be a bit crap or something?

CAN somone advise me ASAP please

It's a series 2 with no ignitor. In regards to bigger problems, what else can it be, could the problem be a CAS sensor or something else.

I am going to regap to 0.8 but this sux, hopefully i can sorgth it out.

I have no errors on the computer, it has been tuned, new pump and so forth, the car did not miss at 0.55 gap, but the coils were shot, i mean i could hardly see the spark.

Sorry should have explained. When i got the car stock it was ok, but soon after i saw some cracks in the coils so i silliconed them up and they ran for a bit and then got worse. SO i gapped the plugs down till they worked wich was 0.55mm.

I am running the copper plugs that everyone gets on here, the BPRS6 things, NGK, you know the ones.

My fuel ecconomy started to suffer as soon as the coild started to fail, so i am trying to fix this by trying biger and better coils with bigger gap.

Thats not the right plug code... you sure thats it?

There are a few that are similar.

If you gap them down and its working, you have a faulty connection somewhere and isnt letting the power through

Find the cyclinder thats misfiring and it will be easier

Well series two with ignitor, did check with MM, and primary is 1.4k ohms, wich is standard for series two, series ones are like .6k ohms.

AFM is clean did that, just finishing the plugs and see how it goes.

BTW i am on my lappy next to the car while working so hence the responces on the run.

OK so

gapped to 0.8mm, still get a slight miss under 3 full load, bugga. I guess there must be something else wrong, not sure what though.

Any ideas. If my engine was getting crappy earth, would that cause problems?

ALSO installed an R32 wastgate actuator, and DAm, doe the car pull much better now.

HOWEVER also noticed with the splitfires, the car idles better, more pull through the midrange (this was before the actuator), and easier starts.

SO all i need to do now i figure out why it might still be missfiring.

I read somwhere that if the CAS is playing up that might cause some issues.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
