Gday guys

I was wonderig if anyone out there had]s experienced the problems i am having with my misfiring engine. Currently the engine accelerates up to 3000-3500 ok. The problems then start. If I try to accelerate using full throttle the engie misfires and pops out the exhaust. It feels really flat and hesitant. Once the engine finally reaches approx 5500-5800 it takes off like a rocket all the way to the limiter. I am having thoughts on the coils and perhaps exhaust cam timing.

Mods are:

Hi flow turbo, 3" inch mandrel turbo back, plug gap 0.7, boost set at minimal 12psi,

checked A/F ratios , are fine,

If anyone has any thoughts could you please assist before i need to start spending big bucks, Knowledge in Tassie is minimal as the low volume of these vehicles.

Cheers

Nick

Hi Nick,

Am interested to know what kind of boost you are running. Is the amount of boost dropping off at high rpm? I ask this because it is harder for a spark to jump the same gap in a higher density atmosphere. Reducing the gap or cutting back boost may prevent the car misfiring, but will put a dent in your performance as well.

I'd be inclined to try out a set of Bosch Super 4 spark plugs if you can get a set to suit, as they do provide superior ignition. Otherwise you may need to get a set of coils or an ignition module with a stronger output depending on which is holding it back.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
