Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

Its a strange one Marcus. On the dyno it's at the same rpm every time (7000). It's not a hard cut or a "rpm cut", but a faint miss. The best way to describe it would be three softest rev limiter ever.

In the road however, depending on how cool it is, it may happen earlier. Gtr Sean drove it before we left for the nats and it missed at 5800. Stupid car.

Make sure you get Yavus to check the settings for ignition/dwell etc. It's the only thing (computer) that has been changed....

I was there today. Tried that one too.

[GTRsean]

Ahhh crap...

New battery?

[BOBBYr34]

injector seals?

Didn't you just replace the alternator? Could the new one be playing up?

Not on as of yet mate.

Not a chance of that ! 20 mins before it came off my car and it was pumping at full power output. She is almost brand new unit and designed for high power GTR's.

It should be boosting electrical output.

Chuck it on Paul and recheck all your earthing.

CDI time !

Naw wouldn't go that route either. I have a 500R on my 'mini-me' version of Paul's and mine has break-down once it's hot. Hard to nail this one down. Just not sure how to get a hotter spark with lots of amps to make it fire reliably.

Was good to see you lay a decent time there Paul. I'm spewing a bit cause I had to drop out of play so soon. Might have been able to give you at least a little run on times.

Is that not more likely coils then? What coils were you driving with the 500r?

Yeah, your issue is a strange one considering you have tried another set of coils and it didn't change anything

[infamous_t]

I reckon the issue might be the ecu, specifically the fact you're running wasted spark... it'll be over working you ignition system IMO

Thing is, it was perfectly fine 9 months ago. It's pretty much a standard setup bar the igniter which has been modified. Joey has three exact same setup and no issues.

Hi paul

How does the car feel with the higher comp and tight squish ?

Feels really grunty. No need to rev it. I would have liked more comp but without custom pistons it wasnt going to happen.

It will be a few weeks before the tune is finished.

[SilverECR33]

paul,

have you whacked another set of working coil packs or an igniter on the car to test yet?

[Piggaz]

paul,

Yep with coils that just did 425 rwkw a few hours before. Changed ignitor box off the same car. Changed plugs. Then I yelled at it!

[GTRsean]

You didn't yell loud enough!

[jangles]

Fancy trigger wheel all in check?

Doesnt seem to be any issues there man. Nothing on the logs.

I'm sure it's something silly thats been overlooked due to a serious lack of time.
