Needs side skirts and front bar support yet

Had it on the dyno yesterday.. had some normal teething issues and some not so normal once.. had oil leaks and coolant leaks everywhere...including a leak from the radiator :/ anyway sorted that shit out and then started the run in process. the engine was run in for a bit with some hard core load by holding it at 4000 rpm and then increasing the load, did that for a bit and its sweet... engine runs and sounds great. however once we started getting into the tune we found it would just missfire like crazy at anything over 4000 rpm and 12 psi boost.

Decs tried pulling fuel and timing out, adding fuel and timing and a combination of both, nothing made a difference. we tried gapping the plugs down to 0.5mm then 0.8 and then 1.2mm. none made it better. Coil packs were brand new 34 GTR Splitfires. only thing we can put it down to was faulty coilpacks.. so that effectively ended it for me. On top of this drama i have a clutch that doesnt disengage properly.

as you have just rewired it your miss fire may be being caused by electrical interference into the CAS wiring. running the 2 white shielded wires near the coil packs or to close to the injectors or anything that may cause electrical "noise" can make the ecu miss read the signals. when i wire rotaries it is very important that the ignition wiring and crank signal wiring are separate as they are prone to misfire then killing engines.

i have also had CAS die randomly and they will cause an under load fault. checking on the ecu shows it should have X amount of timing but checking with a timing light shows actual ignition timing far less. will be fine untill load is applied.

im sure you have checked it but fuel pressure will also cause a miss under load. not sure if you have put a gauge in it yet but as your lift pump was faulty you may still have an issue. depending what brand E85 you are using it may be killing your pumps/injectors. i know of local racers that have had 2 or 3 pumps go in as many events due to the brand/quality of E85. this is because E85 is Hydroscopic and will take in water. E85 manufactures are allowed to add a small amount of H2O to the mix but this can and will cause seizures of pumps and injectors.

hope that gives you a few leads if you done have it sussed already.

new loom is a haltech loom, comes with shielded cables for the CAS and triggers. Cas wiring runs under the intake manifold where as the ignition wiring runs from behind the head straight to the valley cover. I doubt thats the issue. We initially thought a faulty CAS or wandering signal might have been the issue... i held a timing light on the timing marks while decs ran it up to the point where it would missfire and the timing did not move around at all.

fuel pressure is spot on.. 40psi at idle and rises to 60 psi by 4000 rpm + boost pressure. does not move at all also.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
