Hey all,

Just a quick question, my car started miss firing the other day above 30-40% throttle and generall high in the rev range, then it went away. Came back today just before i filled it up but alot worse like doing 100% of the time newhere above like 20% throttle. The plugs are only 5000k's old so im asuming its not them could it be bad fuel as it went away again about 10 mins after filling it up?? I just though bad fuel would only effect highly tuned cars, mine only has an safc and slightly advanced timing? Nehelp?

Cheers

John

I had a very similar issue with my car (MR2 Turbo)

First of all after changing the alarm system the problem went away for approx 6 months. (the wiring on the old alarm was dodgy with a capital CRAP!) However the miss did return after that and ended up being the fact that the distributor and rotor button were worn out and hence the engine was not getting spark causing it to miss fire and sound like it was running on 3 cylinders.

For you car I would reccomend checking out the coils to make sure youre getting enough spark & check the plugs to make sure they're not fouled.

      Cas issue

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
