chances are the installation of the cooler has reduced the temperature of the intake charge, which has the effect of increasing the density of the mixture in the combustion chamber and now your 10+ year old coil packs are having trouble igniting this mixture. any increase in boost will also add to this problem..

basically your best bet is to wind back the boost a bit and go for a drive, if the misfire is gone, this most likely the cause of your problem, the easiest thing to do would be to pick up a second hand pair of coils from the forums, however these will also be time bombs waiting to go.

the best option would be to pick up a pair of split fire coil packs, i believe these are about $500..

i have also heard of people having limited success 'taping' there coil packs up to provide better insulation, and it also never goes astray giving the earths near where the thermostat housing is a good clean, as well as the main earthing straps between the engine and the chassis a clean too..

there is alot of information around the forums on this problem so search is your friend :)

hope this information helps :blush:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
