Well now I'm screwed still exactly the same and even Andy from adaptronic has no idea. Tried new coils , plugs, injectors, cams , checked compression, checked cam gears checked all new joins as in ballast resister and injectors , I really don't know what else to do? I love this car and it means alot to me sentimentally but my brain can't take this , I don't think I can pull it out and start again financially or physically

Fuel delivery pressure and Fuel quality ?

Actuators ok ? (misfires @ 9psi consistently )

what's the RPM when it misfires and how bad is it? Can you go passed it ?

Any anomalies in the ECU data logging

Summarising change overs, anything else ?

ECU X 2

Injectors x 2

Plugs x 2

CAS x 2 ? + adjusted dwell

Coil packs x 2

Coil Pack harness (new)

Ignitor x 2

Earthing x 2

CAMS replaced to stock

Cam gears

You maybe right - something under pressure within the head/block (Mechanical).

All the external gear seems double checked :(

As its still at dyno I havnt been as to drive it myself, from 9-11 psi I'm told , only under load so my plan is to get jez to try a nisstune see how that goes failing that do a safe tune so I can get ur home. I'm thinking leak down test first as comp test was perfect , next put 15psi into cooler piping and check each port with inlet valves closed for leaks, possible injector seal issue maybe pushing out under boost as they are not factory seals and are a little small for manifold compared to stock. Next is create a daisy chain from each coil to earth and possibly a relay and direct power from battery. Failing that run new jumper wires from ecu direct to each coil. Triple check injector wires and ballast wire joins. Lastly strip harness rig up a buzzer to each injector wire and sensor wire and somehow apply 12 v at ecu end and listen while moving harness for any changes that may indicate slightly broken wire. It's got me stuffed though it sounds perfect and passes every test except when boost is applied, I really don't want to strip engine down and jez doubts its internal , oil pressure is perfect as is temperature he said slight bubbling in rad after run on dyno but is normal I'm his experience.

Other than that sell it on and give someone a bargain but I met my wife in this car so it's very sentimental but with my mental health at stake I can't take much more

Its got to be electrical. Can't be mechanical man.

has jez tried just flat out doubling the dwell? Dwell is hard to work out what's best at times.

failing that what are the AFs doing under boost when it cuts? Does it chop and change or is it consistent?

If the AFs are all over the shop when boost starts to come on you better look into all things related.. Try smoke test it at 15-20psi and try a different set of injectors.

To me its either going to be an intake leak which is very close to the ports/injectors or its going to be a fuel control issue. So maybe injector seals giving out, FPR or pump failing under load or injectors failing under equalized pressure.

Time to start fiddling with the above.

The only thing that isn't new is the nismo fpr, mmm I wonder and I'm a little concerned about seals pushing out under boost even though they are new , intake gaskets are nitto metal which I sprayed hilomar and torqued to spec and have never had issue with these on the last two engines, it turns out stock ecu isn't wasted spark I wonder if that's a possibility?

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
