I wish you guys/gals lived closer, cause I'd come round and help

Ok then ;).. we had a play around a couple of hours ago .. riddle me this:

- coil packs swapped for complete other set

- spark plugs seem to be "about 0.8mm" (left feeler guage at home - oops) and were all fairly recently replaced.. NGK BCP6RES which i think come out these days stock at 0.8

- no obvious air leaks, split, or disconnect vacuum pipes

Which in my mind only could leave?

- Timing slightly out (couldn't check)

- not running cooler or aftermarket management which i know is a bit iffy at 10psi (although apparently it does it at stock boost levels too)

- ignition module (doubt it)

... OR ????

Running about 10psi boost, few random misses at around 4000rpm.. but can "push" thru till they start appearing at 5500rpm or so again. Not massive (heard worse) but enough to shit you when going hard.

So Dr Paul - what is your prognosis?

This is Ska's ka (oo that rhymes)... nah.. no SAFC .. no nothing - that is why I think its maybe a bit iffy even trying to wind the boost up on that setup. No real sign of audible pinging though. Actually almost seems to be the opposite... could it could be just running a bit rich, flooding the cylinders??

0.64mm ? interesting... he could try that.

I always used to run BCP6RES w/ 0.8mm on the rb25det and never had miss issues 10degrees or 35degrees.. but i did have a big front mount and SAFC.

well at least i found out my "spare" coilpacks work.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
