In short, I'm experiencing a stuttering/hesitation problem.

Here's the symptoms,

The problem was occurring around 4500 - 5000 rpm at 13.5psi

The stuttering greatly reduced when i dropped the boost back to about 10psi

I replaced the spark plugs with NGK bcpr7es' and that seemed to help a little but not much.

I adjusted CAS to full clockwise to retard ignition timing, dropped stuttering to 2500 rpm at one stage, but seems to occur more predominantly than before at about 3500 rpm and on full throttle would not increase in revs, however lighter throttle and it would.

The problem started a couple of months ago. With the silencer out i could hear a popping noise under high load at 13.5psi around the 4500 - 5000 rpm range but the stuttering was barely if at all noticeable. The problem has been steadily getting worse, and I have not recently driven the car without the silencer in to see if the popping noise has changed in any way.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know,

Thanks.

Coilpacks

Thanks for the reply.

I know S1 coilpacks dont have the ignitors in them like s2 does, but is it possible to swap the s1 igniter, coil packs and coil pack loom over to a s2 all together?

just had a look at both s1 and s2 coil pack looms, the connectors are completely different :yes:

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
