hey guys

i know what your going to say 'search is your friend'. but i have read them and think i still need some help before blowing good money on aftermaket coil-packs i didnt need.

after installing a powerfc and upping the boost, the car has developed a misfire in two places. the first only happens about half of the time, when coming on boost at wot and low rpm, say 2900. and the second happens all of the time, at 5000rpm+ on full load. the tuner tried to get around it but thinks its the coil packs and couldn't really do much about it.

mods include: bkr7evx platinum plugs, hks fmic, cam gear at 3.5deg., powerfc, evc5 at 0.9bar, 3" full exhaust, shielded pod. te rest is stock turbo, inj, internals, manifolds etc...

i'm thinking one of the following:

collapsing pipe between tubo and afm

fatigued coil packs (highly likely)

air leak (unlikely - all new hoses and clamps etc.)

afm (dirty - i will ask the tuner if the voltage was ok, im sure he would have checked tho, if it was bad this would also eliminate the collapsing pipe)

plugs (fouled - i did the plugs myself at home, drove the car 20km to the dyno, not sure if they would foul up in this time)

any input appreciated.

Hey dude.

Had the samt problem with mine when i upped the boost... and i had the same thought, coil packs... but, I think i may had some good news for you.

It was only the spark plugs. Try putting in some normal NON platmum or iridium plugs, and make sure the gap is 0.6. Use NGK BCP6ES make sure its the NON RESISTOR type.

I'm pretty certain that this will stop your misfiring. Try this first before anything else, as it's the cheapet thing that could go wrong. - looking at your mods, its also the most likely.

Give it a go and lemme know how it goes .

hey ross im having the same problem........i have my car tuned now and i get a couple of slight misfires at 12psi, no where as bad as it was previously but its still annoying.

Im using the bcpr6es and it was suggested to me to try them at 0.6 too, i cant think of what else is doing it other then the coil packs as i dont use a afm now, changed fuel pump, changed plugs from bkr7evx and all hoses and connections are fine.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
