After a week of brr brr brr coming outa the exhaust & car shaking & driving like absolute shit.

I did the coilpack trick to no avail and eventually went to see David from DMD-Tuning as we knew the coilpacks were shot when we boosted up to 14PSI. They started to breakdown upon higher boost so we swapped them over with his 2nd hand ones he had for a tempory fix but it didnt change. removed all spark plugs and noticed one was all gunged (if such a word) up. cleaned them & put em back but still was like it had a very lumpy cam on.

he hooked up his laptop with Nistune loaded and listed to my standard (returned) ecu and one by one he disabled the coilpacks and noticed the drop in RPM until he came accross cylinder one and there was no drop in RPM..ah ha dead spark plug, replaced with a spare and now back to normal.

He's a bloody genious....

Thanks heaps Dave if you see this.................

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
