hey im trying to hunt down a miss fire in my rb25det

the car is a stock rb25det making 470rwhp at 26psi

last 3-4 weeks its been getting bad, now its time 2 do something about it.

basically the car from cold will start up and run on 5 cyclinders for first 10secs then clear up and run fine.

i can drive around off boost and it will run fine. As soon as i give the car a hard time and thrash it, i can pull up and on idle its back to 5 cyclinders.mind you it runs perfectly fine under load/boost

ive narrowed it down to cyclinder 6 which is the cyclinder not firing.

ive tried new injectors,coilpack wiring harness etc

injectors have been cleaned etc and new seals.

ive done a compression test and its good came back with 150-155 from 1-6

anyone else got any ideas? some ppl ive talked to think its lifter problem in cyclinder 6?

Simon is making 500+hp on a stock motor? Misfiring could be caused by many things but it seems you've tried the basics. I will be keeping an eye on this thread to see how it progresses. Keep us posted. What I would suspect is the spark plug or coil back. Next would be wiring. Next would be CAS(could be playing up?) Sounds electrical to me. My car had similar symptoms on startup. It would sound like its missing a cylinder or even two and after a few seconds they all kick in, my spark plugs were on their way out. Try gap your plugs closer see if that gets rid of the misfire.

plugs are about 500kms old bk7re always used them.

leak down test might be on the cards then, might ask my tuner 2 perform this.

yes 26psi thru gt35r on a stock rb25. i dont always run this boost. only turned it up for a dyno day not long ago.

running 1.75bar atm.

At that power level I am assuming normal 98 pump gas? Simon is getting away with it on an ethanol mix, petrol would probably be a bit much for the crap fuel we get in this part of the world :(

+1 on compression test.

yes pump 98 bp ultimate

car has been on big boost and 400hp for a few yrs now.

ive done 2 compression test's and both came up fine 150-155 across all 6.

leak down i have not done, i dont even know someone with the right tool 2 do it.

Try a CAS and see. Just borrow a mates one if possible.

Have u upgraded the valve springs?

Does the engine tick when its misfiring?

Any smoke?

Do a compression test when it starts to misfire if u can. Maybe a valve seat issue

Gonna try new CAS 2morrow morning.

Valve springs are stock

only ticking noise is from the injectors, as far as im aware

no smoke at all.

ill get it 2 run on 5 and do a compression test then and see wot it comes up with.

yeh my tuner thinks a lifter or valve or something along those lines in cyclinder 6

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
