Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Have ya tried a stock cas to fix the misfire?

Haven't tried anything Pete. I just haven't driven it. That's an easy test to do though. I believe it's a hot join in the coil pack loom as I have deleted the standard igniter and running an aftermarket one. Now with the moving around of that loom It might have buggered one connection. That will now be redone with a plug. On the dyno it's at exactly the same point, on the road it changes with load, gear and ambient temp. Fkn shit thing.

Love the build mate!!

Regarding the misfire, have you checked the coilpacks are getting a strong constant power? I had a shitty misfire once which was the constant power in the loom dropping due to a dirty/coroded loom plug.

Thanks mate. I haven't, no. The loom itself is no more than 5000 Kms old. It was all fine the night I popped the engine, now this BS.. Yavuz will sort it. :)

Finally made it to UE yesterday. Woohoo!

A few little things going on like staging the fuel pumps under "X" RPM or Boost. (No needs to have two feed 044's buzzing away on the freeway heating fuel and pissing me off). Obviously the stupid missfire will be looked at and a tune with some decent boost and RPM. ATM its sitting at 380 rwkw at 19 psi with 7000 RPM being used. A bit of cam timing to be played with (not for outright power but the broadest area under the curve I can achieve). Might chuck a 30 PSI run in there to see how much these little snails can make.

A picture I took of the sperm whale a few weeks ago after I gave it a wash. Currently it has Nismo LM GT 4's in bronze borrowed from Joey's car.

      If we're going after market gauges, I'm a big fan of Australian made... Get some RedArc!

      Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps

      People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris

      Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)

      That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
