Ok mechanic came out this morning and did a few test with the spark and the injectors and in the process blew his test light.

Told me its the coil pack.

So i go and buy a coil pack which was $110 which isnt to bad.

Fitted the coil pack and its still f**ked. Not happy, he will be coming back for round two shortly.

It is now looking like the MSD DIS 4 pack or the microtech, i hope not then its getting into the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

James check the coil pack plugs make sure there clean use a little screw driver & scrap the metal pins & try again, also as some one has said check the plate the packs mount to make sure where the coil packs bolt to is clean, thats the earth point. Also check you igniter plugs ( for ser1 )on the back of the coil pack engine cover.

I may have a small window open on the weekend. I don't know if I can come to you though. I have an EXTREMELY good tow truck driver who can literally tow anything anywhere if you want his number.

He dropped J-boy's car straight into the garage for me and that car is pretty low.

His name is Steve from Pacific Towing 0412 032 023. Just tell him Daniel from Elite Racing referred you.

If you can leave it with me over the weekend I will be able to sort it out but just have been sooooo busy lately. Obviously no charge if I can't fix it.

Its ok Daniel thanks anyway, the MSD has been sent away to be repaired so im just waiting now.

It better be the MSD as this guy has already cost me a new coil pack which didnt even need changing.

Unfortunately Ive had that tow truck driver before he is pretty good, but i dont want to risk the frontbar snapping in half.

It was a bit close last time, i think i lost a couple MMs getting it off the tray :( .

Why does the guy think it's the MSD?

Well he checked the power going from the microtech to the MSD and that was fine. So he said the problem is the MSD as it is not functioning properly to the coils.

It was dropping cylinders 1 & 6 from the coils apparently.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
