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 ?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
