What sort of issues do people have if plugs too cold? If I run 8's on the street... Would I be better off saving 8's for track days only?

Fouling and yes. BTW, please pay $400 to photobucket so they can show your images.

My plugs were just fouly (which is odd because we had them cleaned when my turbo went on.. maybe a month/1500kms ago), and previously were never that state. My specific plugs looked like this:

So there wasn't a great deal of room for anything when carbon gets involved. But yeah, they were a bit "Carbony" which is odd because E85 generates less carbon and 'fouling'.

But yeah, misfires at idle/very low load and misfires at 20psi, Carboning up, looking rather "tan" or a darker tan than mentioned made me think they were no longer the best option.

All hail BCPR7ES (I bought 18) :P

There is a Melbourne 88E shareholder meet up tonight, you should go meet some of your new pals.

I picked up 80,000 shares this morning for cheap, so that's paid for by approx tax return.
Feeling even better about my 6.4c sell a few weeks ago now

Yeah good move.
See if it hits a new low tomorrow from pommy influence, but I'm just gonna wait it out. They still haven't used artificial lift yet... 11,000 ft is a long way.

Another 30,000 for me

I picture it in my head a scene similar to ^ that, but I know it would be the complete opposite.

Traralgon Toyota don't carry stock for 2006-2011 Hilux front rotors. And takes them over a week to get stock from Melbourne.

It's probably the most common hilux model in gippsland and a consumable part. They stock the brake pads but "we don't replace brake pads unless the rotors are done at the same time". So why would you stock one and not the other??

I've been to obscure car club meets, motorcycle club meets, LANs with people only known through internet, and the Melbourne screening of The Red Pill...I've learned to expect absolutely anything and the term "all shapes and sizes".

When work throw out over 2 grand worth of old equipment doing a cleanup, I'll take that.. already sold it too, self bonus.

Also had what looked to be Joffa look at my car on Sunday to possibly buy :D

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
