Nothing but a story of neglect. Have been chasing a misfire issue ever since we first upped the boost. Turns out it was an issue with the adaptronic software. I have QR drift matsuri in October so will go back to the tuner before then and up the boost and FINALLY play with the cam gears haha. Will post results in here for everyone.

I will have mine together in the next few weeks and then back in the car hopefully by the end of the month.  Then it will be off to John from Next up performance for run in and tune. 

We will probably dial in the cams as close as possible without adjustable cam gears.  Not a fan of them even tho lots of people use them I won't be as I'm more a set and forget person. 

No worries man, let us know what you end up setting them at. Ben C34 did some investigating ages ago and found that if you align them to the TDC marks on the rear timing cover they are 8deg out (I think 8deg retarded)

I am still running standard Neo baby cams by the way.

So I had an almost identical misfire issue...

 

Turned out to be the cam timing being out. Found that even setting it to the marks it would be out a bit. Set it, turn it over 1 full turn, check again. Etc etc

 

I luckily have access to a friends dyno to play with this stuff with him, so we were able to see some real documented results. Could to 282kw by 4800rpm but would misfire like hell above that. Now the same boost comes on later and goes hard to limiter. Next is a retune for 20psi and to dial in the cams and EBC (Y)

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
