yeah it would piss ya of wouldnt it. yeah my car played up once like that as well but as soon as i put new spitfires in it it was fine. lucky it didnt pop a piston when it sounded like a wrx not a nice feeling when that happens

If it idles fine and under load sounds like a wrx could be the plugs fould up, if it does it at ifle leave it idling and unplug the coilpacks 1 by 1 and wait for the ones that make no difference to the sound and their usualy the dead ones.

plugs or coils... as you just put new plugs in i would re-check those and the coil harness connection to each coil... also search for the thread which tells you the different colors for different spark plug problems.

If it doesn't idle, wants to stall and cant rev over 2k then its piping... not 100% on rb20 piping but there are a few that you prolly have to take off to get to plugs which would behave like this if not re-connected properly.. so check that..

I don't know if anyones explained how to check blown coil packs, I CBF reading the whole thread so I will just tell you what to do

Start the car and let it idle

What you do then is disconnect each coil pack one by one, so one at a time from cylinder 1 to 6

Whats your doing is listening for a change in exhaust note/miss fire and no change

So it will go something like this;

Unplug cylinder 1 coil pack - No change in exhaust note means the coilpack is not firing (stuffed) change in exhaust note means its working fine

Unplug cylinder 2 coil pack - No change in exhaust note means the coilpack is not firing (stuffed) change in exhaust note means its working fine

Unplug cylinder 3 coil pack - No change in exhaust note means the coilpack is not firing (stuffed) change in exhaust note means its working fine

Unplug cylinder 4 coil pack - No change in exhaust note means the coilpack is not firing (stuffed) change in exhaust note means its working fine

Unplug cylinder 5 coil pack - No change in exhaust note means the coilpack is not firing (stuffed) change in exhaust note means its working fine

Unplug cylinder 6 coil pack - No change in exhaust note means the coilpack is not firing (stuffed)

change in exhaust note means its working fine

That should determine if its the coilpack not firing or if its something else

To me it sounds like the coilpacks, if its not maybe try changing the plugs - NGK Coppers BCPR6ES I recommend, pre-gapped to 0.8mm so you can put them straight in

Is everyone sure it's coils? Does it sound more like a wrx or a lawn mower? dude it may be your turbo gasket from your manifold side! 500 bucks is a bit much to spend if it's not the right thing thats wrong! thats all! and the jjrs a good but really u pay for what u get splitfire just has that reputation and plus the japaneese use them in the 1000hp supercars! so it's saying something :P

yeh i got those coppers in atm!

anyone know how the jjr coilpacks compare to the spitfires??

cheers

Spitfires aren't much more and are well trusted. When I was looking I remember reading a few things about the JJR not fitting too well, sure you can find it using search.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
