Hey guys,

Noticed the other day while taking the car for a lil fang at round 4.5krpm+ while on boost and full thorttle "splutter splutter" coming from the back of the car. Just wondering if anyone else has suffered this prob before? Im due for a service soon but its only a fluid one so i doubt that has anything to do with my prob. Last service (6mths ago) i had Iridiums put in so i don't think that could be the cause, maybe coilpacks? Or in need for a tune?

Thanx in advanced.

buy 6 BCPR7ES spark plugs and gap them to .7 gap. see how you go

+1 to do that. does it mainly happen when its under load as well?

it may be your coils, try taping them up with some good brand elec tap and getting new plugs gapped to like.8 or less depending on how much boost your running. works a treat.

Hows it going mate. The same problem occured in r32 when i was running higher boost levels. Tracked the problem down to the wrong spark plug. I've happened to stumble across that the xr6 turbo run NGK Iridium plug with a .6 gap. Part number is BKR6EIX. Hope this sorts out your problem.

I'll be getting a service in a couple of weeks so i'll get the mechs to do a nice once over. I doubt the plugs would be gone as they're no more then 5,000kms old. Maybe need re-gapping its true, i'll keep you guys updated...please don't be coilpacks (crosses fingers)

95% its coilpacks...

sure way to tell is tape them up..

I had the exact problem and now its fixed with tape.. sure its a bandaid solution.. but its been working for the last 9 months so far

The reason regapping the plugs work is the gap is reduced... and seeing as the spark takes the path of least resistance it sparks correctly.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
