Hey guys n gals

any help on this would be very much appreciated :(

car is a 1996 s2 R33 gtst... its got a haltech E11V2, full exhaust, upg turbo, pod, cai, fmic, bov, 700cc injectors (i think), boost controller etc etc etc

it all started when it was runnin very rich, i mean u could light the oil on fire it was that rich lol... so i was like ok ill take it for a tune

tune went good started out at 143 rwkw! n went to 330 rwkw :) as well as fixing a few other probs... 2 days later car starts missing under all loads again! only thing i could see wrong was a few wires left near the turbo / exhaust were melted (O2 sensor, boost solenoid, air flow sensor) as the exhaust was runnin much hotter... i thought maybe it retarded the tune as its a haltech lol n took it back for a re-tune, n to move those wires

got the car back, all was well, 2 days later plugs are crapped again!!!!!! :) ... only thing i can think of is the injectors are rooted??? plugs in it were NGK BKR6E gapped .8mm... i was thinking going heat range 5??? burn abit of that crap off them???

Dont use heat range 5 if your making 330 rwkw, that plug will run far too hot. You want at least heat range 6 or maybe 7 depending on how you drive.

Also have you upgraded your coils? or are you using the factory ones?

What do the plugs look like i.e. black, white, oily etc

Cheers

Hey mate,

ive had very similar missfire issues to you, using the same plug and yeh... 1-2 days and they get shitty..

I now use NGK BCPR6ES.. honestly... never looked back, car is perfect up until about 10,000kms and then replace when I notice a little bit of spluttering, but its still no where near as bad as those BKR6E's....

Also, u know, normal things... check all coil packs for cracks, make sure u have the right tension for the plugs etc etc...

hope this helps.

found out what was wrong with the car lol

well the injectors were all pulled out n they turned out 2 be BA ford falcon injectors :D lol wtf

the sandwhich plate had been modified to fit these stupid top mount injectors into the side of the rb25, the wiring harness wasnt soldered anywhere n the wires just fell outta the injectors when they were pulled out lol... not to mention the injectors were full of sh1t

so gunna get the wiring harness all re-done, a nissan fuel rail with sard injectors n have to replace the sandwhich plate or whateva grrr

when the last owner finished all this genius work they forgot to tighten the bottom intake bolts! so they were all loose to! lol

Hate to say it. But that has to make you feel confident about the car holding together with that power. Theres enough direct fit kits out there now not to have to adapt up something that doesnt belong.

If I were you I'd be looking over everything that you know is modified to double check everythings done up correctly/ no leaks etc. Just in case. The Joys of buying a premodified car. You may say money on the mods. But you also have to put up with anything they did that wasn't right.

What base pressure are you running? I ask because BA Ford 6 (incl' XR6T) injectors are only 295cc and for you to be making 330rwkw on 6x296cc injectors would make for an interesting duty cycle figure.

Also BA 6 cyl'r injectors are 14mm injectors so make sure that you order the correct SARDs as most of them are 11mm. I would look as running the same style as the BA 6cyl'r injectors but just larger and from someone like Bosch, from what i have been reading about the new style injectors there are some very good ones out there especially in high impedance.

Have a look here at the 610cc Siemens Deka ones;

yeh defo will aye, im actually kinda worried it is a cheap chinese 1 lol cuz theres no visible brands or nuffin

do u mean as in turbo psi???... cuz i run it on stock lol so 7 or 8... only rarely go 14, baby the damm thing lol

apparently the ford injectors in it were 650 - 700cc :D n the person actually drilled out the sandwhich plate 2 fit them in cuz they were 2 wide

He means fuel rail pressure.

If they were 650 - 700cc I'd be expecting near stock fuel rail pressure

  • 2 weeks later...

hey guys... got the car all fixed up... well to an extent lol

put sum blitz 850cc injectors in with a nissan standard fuel rail, also had all the wiring harness fixed up from the previous injectors

the ecu also had a short circuit n some corruption, which was fixed up by haltec

after all this it was tuned n all went well

however now its bout 5 days after gettin it back n i think the car has fouled the plugs that i put in 3 days ago!!! :) gahhhhh

could it possibly be wrong gapping / heatrange of plugs??? or coil packs screwing it up??? as its the only thing other than ecu i can think of :(

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
