Smelling petrol can be a bunch of problems, including a stuffed cat

*awaits pic of sufed cat*

Def try to use the stock thermostat, just check it works correctly. The temp gauge in the car, even the stock one which is hardly accurate, will give you a heads up before anything goes wrong.

Hey mad, at what point of modding should you use 8 temp plugs? With big turbos, fuel pumps and track use?

I dont have a cat, using straight pipe with one center silencer :P

I didnt knwo anything bout plugs when i changed them. The mechanic was the one who installed it for me.

I took the NGK Irridiums out yesterday and put back my old Denso IK22s just to check if there is any improvements since the Densos looked fine. The NGKs appeared whiter then a Japan GT Queen! I was running lean! Its real funny as on the dyno, it was ok. Unless my FPR settings had changed. SO i set it back at around 42 psi for now. I still get that jerk at full throttle/ full boost but not as bad as before. Will need to change the plugs again and try dyno-ing the car again to set it right.

Yeah changing spark plugs is the first step, and regapping them is the second. You might want to think about just going coppers mate, a lot of people here find platinums and iridiums don't last long enough to make the price worth it, and MANY have found they don't last much longer than coppers, if at all. I had a mate whose soarer used up iridiums in 3000km...

Glad the issue's fixed, misfires suck

Certainly do, i was so frustrated i was beginning to wonder why i had bothered to get the skyline, i remember now :D

coppers? every place i go to look into the sparkplug book and its always platinums recommended, and not really knowing what i should get i just go by that.

i did have an issue with coilpacks though, so it got me in 2 minds about what it could possibly be, knowing that old coils are usually the issue, not new plugs.

thanks for the advice mate

Thanks a lot for the info bro, looks like i was using RB25 NEo plugs in my 20... Hmmmmm.

A mate of mine suggested gaping down to 0.7 or o.65. Maybe ill try it and keep you all posted. My tuner said my air flow could also be a problem giving false temperature and flow readings to the ecu. Will need to swap that one too and see what happens!

If you want to read up on spark plugs and what to by it's all covered in the spark plugs thread, I'll even give the link :P

      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.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
