Hi all,

Just changed the turbo exhaust manifold gasket and car is much quiter

Also changed the plugs which god knows how long they were there with which were bkr5 to bkr6

Car runs fine and did a zero to sixty under 6.4 as that is how i am measuring its power:D

But two issues from 4k upward the car seems dead and power band is flat . As far as i know the neo moves from 5 psi to 7 but that isnt working i guess

Also sound of turbo is lesss

Second issue is misfire

You can hear the missess every now and then when car is standing idle or when reving and it revs down you can hear the spits backs

What can it be?

Plug changed( could it be too cold for my engine?)

Coilpack cleaned and used dielectric on it

Turbo gasket fixed

The fuel canister pipe was leaking a bit of air which i fixed it but no improvement

Does the consult software tell you anything ?

How would you narrow the misfire?

Many thanks

You could swap the coil packs around to see if you can localise the cause.

One point to add is , my coil pack connectors click things that ensure the coil is in tight is place is broken however i check it and all are in all the way

Also engine light , anti slip and hicas came on

I did move out the plugs and each caused the engine to run worse suggesting they are working

I think i have just figured out the issue




Here it is , i cleaned the plugs and applied dielectric to it to the round of the coils and then inserted the jacket or isolator


Now in the process one of the plugs had its spring come out as it seems it was glued to the based as with all other ones so i manually inserted it in and put the coil back but it was loose so had to hold it by hand while putting that single coil on the plug


As i changed the plug , it could have dropped out so there is bo spring in there which can mean one of the coils is playing up


I need to open then all again to check, can the spring cause such issues and if so can you get the spring on its own ?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
