hey guys,

Just a final update. I flew back from Japan yesterday, after going to a few tracks and many in depth discussions, I found anyone running a skyline (r33 and 32) were gapping there plugs between 6 and 7, some up to 8 depending on application but no bigger.

I pulled my plugs last night and regapped them down to 0.76mm.

Put them back and took it for a run. Car runs perfect. No missing accross the full rev range at all. And my missfiring has gone at idle as well, perfect idle. Drove it to work today and was perfect. So in the end, i've gapped from 1.1 down to .9 which was better but still problems. After dropping to 0.76, it was perfect.

I will be getting splitfires shortly, but at least i know i what the problem was orginally.

Cheers for all your help guys.

No worries mate!!........

As per yourself I'll continue to run <>.75mm, regardless of any further advice to the contrary, as this has solved many issues for me since i started utilising this method, on MY car.

I will also save my money, and not get Splitfires, as my current performance would not improve, with that particular mod.

I'm saving for some new 'synchro's'........lol!...now that's really gunna improve a lot of things !!!! (except for the bank balance).

Well done...and regards,

Superspit.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
