Misfiring help

I need help. I have a 1991 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR, I recently had it in the shop getting intercooler piping, new ECU HKS Fcon V pro and a tune. Got 579 to the wheels and was running great for about a week. Then one morning woke up and it sounded like a Subaru and it blows smoke out the exhaust. Did some trouble shooting and found that when I unplugged number 2 and 4 coil pack the engine idle didn't change. red out the coil packs and checked the plugs, all good. even swapped coils around with no change. The plugs are wet with gas so I did a old school spark test in the block and getting spark.  ordered new coil pack wire harness and still no change. swapped out the PTU(coil ignitor unit) with a known good one and still no change. Did the self diagnosis and got code 21, Could it be the tune is causing this, I mean it just started one morning when I started the car and it ran fine the night before. Thanks.

Mods on the car

1.2mm aluminum head gasket

tomei pons cams

tomei m8270 turbos

HKS intercooler piping

HKS boost controller

HKS Fcon pro v(no MAF's)

Did you check to make sure your CAS is firing all 6 cylinders? May have a dead spot on it. Correct me if I'm wrong but firing order is 1-5 3-6 2-4, so the fact that 2 and 4 are wet would make me lean towards a bad cam angle sensor

Ok so new problem. I was going to take the car in to my mechanic and it wouldn't start. First time turned over and backfired,  after that just cranking, a little bit of sputtering like its going to start but nothing. funny thing is it started the day before no issues, besides rough idle due to my misfire. I didnt drive it, just started it and to go to the store then decide against it. Any ideas? I dont want to pay for a 22km tow bill.

Before you pull it just take a sharpie and put reference marks so when you put it back you no exactly where it was.

So I took my car to my mechanic and found out I have no compression in my number 2 cylender,  and my pistons are burnt on the exhaust side. Worst case senerio.  He believes that maybe the turbos, I have Tomei m7960. He said that he has other cars blow the bottom end using the same turbos.  Anyone else have any issues with them?

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
