hey ..... i put my boost controller in today and wound the boost up to 14psi or there about

the problem is not that is misfiring on full boost then when i bring it off boost then back on it comes on then starts misforing again

is this a coil issue or is this the factory boost cut ??

Std spark plug gap too big for higher boost. Pull the plugs out and gap them down to about 0.8mm

The spark gets blown out at higher boost hence the reason why its breaking down under full load. The spark jumps every were at the end of the plug causing it to not fire correctly. Do this and you will be ok.

You will probably get away with just regapping your plugs to 0.8 but none the less your coils are probably dying so boosting it higher later on will bring back the missfire and also on cold weather it might still miss spitfires and plugs gapped at 0.8 ftw

it's not a misfire. if youre running standard ecu, 14 psi is too high and you are hitting fuel cut. lower the boost to about 11-11.5 and you'll be perfect. don't boot it too much either as you'll damage your rings while it does that.

R&R ??

Rich and Retard. There sould be a thread somewhere here explaining fully what it is.. but yeh as explained above, its pretty much when the ecu senses too much boost coming through and cuts fuel supply to try to save the engine, causes the car to run absolute sh&t..but yeh just turn your boost back down and dont go past 12psi unless u got an aftermarket ecu or get yours remapped

^ that might help out aswell..

had the same problem, boost too high, turned it down, still slightly missfires on full boost but my coilpacks are just about shot... i taped/siliconed them up which helps but doesnt totally get rid of the missfire.. just waiting to get some more cash for splitfires..

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
