Ok dudes i know i have some sort of issue with the car missing at around 4-5000rpm, which after much messin around we figure its gong to be coil packs.

We ran my car up on the dyno at my mates wshop on the weekend and ony made 134rwhp this was just over 4000 rpm

the car is r33 4door

rb25det

iridiums at 0.8

knn filter

full 3" although cat isn't hi-flowed

bleed valve standard boost ( we changed the boost in increments from 7-10psi and onlly made 2-7 hp difference

this was extremely concerning as it only put out about as much as my 900kg datto which is still pathetic.

any one else seen these types of figures.

I know there is nothing wrong with the dyno as it is the one from the recent summernats hp heroes the one that ran 1470rwhp on it, apparently most accurate in oz. i will have to tune next week but i wouldnt think that coil packs would make that much difference would they we should expect arount 200-210rwhp

yeh i know would coil packs rob me of that much power, the air fuel ratio was cool, the curve looked ok then bang straight back down at around 4000-5000, which is where my misfiring is, hmmmmmm, i have found that it only seems to happen under heavy load, ieif i run the accelerator easing it on lightly all the way to redline, it seems to pull the right way, but if just plant my foot nothin after the 4ish you just get the missing,

sounds like car has similar mods as mine not to sure if yours is full 3" is turbs back, butwe did notice that the standard cooler is crap as we were spraying water on it and was just drying so quickly, fmic would be handy, even yours to mine 134 to 170 is a big diff!!

we could have taken it higher but it wasnt making any power past 4000rpm

That power at those particular revs sounds about right. But you should continue to make power til about 6400, or even more with your mods eg exhaust. Peak power arrives t 6400 on a standard car. hopefully its just the coil packs.

I would think if a coil pack works ok at light load, it should also work ok at full load. Not 100% on this, but you could prolly use an Insulation Resistance tester (megga) on the 1000v scale to test it (know any sparkies?). The primary winding should have continuity from one end to the other and should not be shorted to earth. I think the secondary should also have continuity from the plug top to earth on the coil pack. Please correct me if i'm way off the mark!

rb25 you would think that yours and mine should be making more power, they are around 180-190 standard from factory?

there is wear and tear but we had an older supra on there similar mods 4 years older no rebuild more kms and put out 200rwhp and they come out with 187kw factory same as skyzers i think?

similiar problem to my tuning at CRD. Mine's FMIC, unichip, full exhaust, EBC

made 163rwkw with a stuffed coil pack, replaced it and made 181rwkw on 7psi.

Jim @CRD suggested gapping the plugs from 0.8 to 0.75 if wanted to go on higher boost as the spark was breaking down with more than 7psi. Gapped it and had a test run on .8(11psi) and .9(13psi)bar, sweet.....

I had this problem on my car....the engine was misfiring and spark was breaking down at high RPM (4000 or above). Had the workshop check it out and found that 2 of my coil packs were on the way out. I bought 2 second hand replacements from the for sale section on SAU replaced the old ones and now everything is sweet. In the meantime while running with the faulty coils the workshop regapped the corresponding spark plugs closer in order to try and reduce the misfiring. As more load is put on the coils, the spark breaks down more and arcs out causing the misfire. Check your plugs as well because there could be a lot of deposit on them which may be fouling them as well.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
