It's normally PRP that has 17 revisions that their customer pay the privilege of doing the r&d for.

haha.. yep, I experienced that with their R35 Coil kit on a NEO head.

Not to derail, but what issues? I have the 1st gen PRP kit and I (touch wood.. NOT Diddy's) never had any.. altho i did hear that later revisions people experienced misires etc.

Maybe been mentioned but I would have thought with a straight gate you would have to run both ports. As you don't have the natural pressure to push it open. I just noticed in the pic you are only running the top port, which will keep it closed but the bottom port should push it open ?

I thought the same but to just run gate pressure and use one port, you put your boost reference through the top.

 

When I took it for a blat while hooked up only to the bottom I let off the accelerator and at the last second I saw 46psi.

 

When using the Mac valve I use both ports, in my picture I was only using the top one because I was testing it on gate pressure.

The loom took 3 goes before it was right, wrong lengths each time, excess slack and one time it was too short.

I'm using the 1st gen, with those white stalks. I'm sure it's not isolating properly either, I'm running 0.4mm gaps to avoid misfires.

High chance the crappy white plastic stalks aren't doing their job.

That sucks man. I am also running the same ones I think.. the white stalks with yellow o-ring. Did yours misfire from the start? Or gradually? Are you running the valley cover? mine didnt clear so I left it off, but probably for a good reason too, and im running .8 gap platinums. No issues at all so far, unless im running some weird gen.

I've got the white stalks, and black o-rings from memory. Haven't done the spark plugs since it left the dyno 4 years ago LOL.

Was misfiring on the dyno when I fed it more than a bar of boosr, so I upped the dwell, didn't do anything, then I started to gap it down, and ended up at 0.4mm when it stopped misfiring.

It kind of clears the valley cover, but it's pressed hard on the coils, so I don't run it anymore.

Im not sure if its a good idea to put the valley cover.. it wouldnt be good for the coils I imagine. I thought about machining some holes or a design in the valley cover to get some ventilation but I dont want to ruin it. :banana:

The cooling is actually better with the cover on. The timing gears/belt does a good job of pumping some air in there. That's why the back of the timing cover has those louvres in it. With the cover off the air just goes away. With the cover on, it is forced to flow all the way to the back. It's still all very hot, but it is a little cooler with the cover on.

I've heard this theory, and can totally understand it, but has anyone put a temp probe in there, in free air to see how hot it actually is with it on vs off? I haven't seen any real data to know for sure. :)

Not directly, but I measured the air temperature coming out the back (car running on dyno) and it was a small flow with some decent temperature in it compared to the temperature measured behind the radiator. Too many years ago to remember what the numbers were. Couldn't really quantify the flow rate though, so couldn't calculate a heat transfer rate, but my conclusion was that there was decent heat transfer to the air. Bro science, for sure. And granted, I will acknowledge that there are hot head/cam cover surfaces in there too, but they are only at ~100°C or less.

I really should do it again, with my fine TC taped down onto the coils, with the cover on and off. But getting the cover off is a enough of a pain in the butt that I'm not going to do it just for fun.

Time for a FFP with your upgrades, cover comes off easy then...

Just now, GTSBoy said:

FFP is a step backwards. Would need to add a supercharger to offset the negatives. Hmmmm....

Rajab plenum, best of both worlds.

Just need to machine off the ghastly logo.

U read my mind, going to machine it off or get a high temp vinyl etc stick on plate made up. There’s so many other ways they could have made it look cool.

Have the option anyway as I need to cut off the throttle body flange and get the dbw flange welded on.

    • 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.
