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.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
