Coilpacks are splitfires with maybe 30,000k's on them

Technically they should be able to spark a 1.0mm gap with no issues. Unless you have some awesome knock issue that's squashing your plugs shut. But doubt it

Swap your coil packs with Birds and see how you go

You guys pretty much live next to each other

Yeah, or you could volunteer your own coilpacks and time!

You wouldn't want my coilpacks for testing, I actually need someone else's to test an issue with mine :/

Coilpacks can fail after 500km...defects happen. Could also be an issue with your coilpack loom.

I do have awesome knock issues :/

During the tune Trent said he had to pull a bunch of timing out of the top end to battle the knock... Then at DECA it was stuttering up high when I was boosting hard in 1st / 2nd.... On the pan I had to keep it in 2nd so I wasn't limiter bashing 1st...

I saw the engine check light flashing... it got up to 65 knock, a week after the tune. in maybe 30c heat after less than 30 seconds of hammering.

More than a little worried about Sandown tbh

Fark I might be fuel actually.... It's not the same kind of power drop that I experienced when my stock coils died...

Fuel pump is an in tank Walbro.... I think its a 255L pump

AFR's on the tune looked alright, I'll upload a pic of the AFR graph when I get home.

This is the misfire when my coilpacks were dying.... The power drop is similar, but no sound, which would make sense if there was spark, just no fuel to burn....

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
