ok , to cut a long story short , after a recent and very basic service , our s2 Stagea has started playing up. Initially after the service it was working just fine, running smooth as anything, After a few days it started to misfire, I was not driving the car at the time but basically it was reported that the car was juddering, this only happened about 1.5 days after the service.

The only things done on the service was plugs , oil , oil filter , so pretty basic, something I have done many times before. After my partner Loretta started complaining of the car playing up I took the coil packs out , sprayed electrical contact cleaner on everything , re assembled and checked.

The car definately feels its running on 5 cyl. I am either thinking its the coilpack loom/harness that is at fault ( because a few of the plugs dont feel like they click into the tops of the coilpacks ) , as a temporary fix I cable tied all the coilpack connectors to the top of the coilpacks, so I am pretty sure its not a loose connector there.

I need the following

a) borrow a known working good set of RB25DET NEO coilpacks, payment in beer/cooked goodies

b) find somewhere that I can get a good deal on some Splitfire coilpacks delivered to WA by Thursday at the latest.

c) Borrow/Buy a known good coilpack harness/loom , so I can eliminate the loom as being a problem.

Guys and gals , I am seriously in the sh1t here cause I need the car running reliably preferably before the weekend as we were supposed to be going on a trip down South , could it possibly be worse timing?

I can be contacted via mobile on 041-991-6324

Let me know if it is your coil packs as I can supply brand new Yellow Jackets coil packs to suit your RB25DET NEO engine which should fix your problem and can get them sent to you via express post.

PM me if you need any further info :blush:

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
