Okay, just got back to melbourne.. decided to check out the conditions of the coil packs and spark plugs..

-Looks like I already have splitfires installed (no visual damage).

-NGK iridium bcpr7iex sparkplugs which looks in reasonable condition.

-The coil pack loom, visually looks like in good condition.

-It was running fine before so I highly doubt it's the tune.

I don't know the condition of the fuel filter, I'll change it however I'll have to wait till it comes in.

I've put everything back together and it runs fine. However, and just as before, sometimes it struggles and runs sluggish. Sounds like a WRX boxer engine...

Maybe it's time to go to the mechanics?

I had a problem with misfiring but ONLY under full boost, 24psi, (12psi was fine)

turned out my coil packs were shorting to earth so I made up some Acetal

mounting plates and the miss is GONE, car has never run smoother!!

I got the idea from an overseas forum where this fix was solving heaps of problems for people.

I was actually thinking of making some more up If people might be interested in purchasing them?

Sorry for being noob! Is this a mounting plate for the coil packs?

Interested at this as I am having very random low rev/low boost misfiring at times.

Ended up being the coilpacks. One of them is faulty. When one of the coilpacks heats up, it starts missing.

To check coilpacks - disconnect them one by one, if the engine misses, that coil is fine, if it doesnt, that coil is faulty.

Replaced them and all good to go again.

Goes to show that even Splitfires can be faulted.

Thanks for the help guys! Problem solved!

Yeah! Thing is, not many forum topics (or that I can find) describes failed splitfire coilpacks.

I hear that OEM is best, but no topic says that Splitfire is inferior in anyway as well.

In saying that, I bought the car with the Splitfires installed. So I don't know how long or how many kms it's been used for...

Splitfires are basically as good as OEM. If they are in service for a lot of years and especially if they are in an engine that cops a flogging across those years, they will age out, the same as the OEM ones do. Nothing lasts forever - it's just that most people haven't reached that age/flog level on Splitfires yet.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
