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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
