I just swapped my cat (unknown highflow cat) to a venom 100cell highflow, 3 inch inlet and outlet,5 inch body.

 

I also changed my bov to a turbosmart plumb back.

 

Prior to this the car would never misfire under load. But now its misfiring at around 5k rpm. The coilpacks and spark plugs are in good condition, i recently cleaned all the coilpacks thoroughly and put dielectric grease around all the connections.

 

What could be causing the misfire? Could the new cat have affected the tune?

More likely to be the BOV. What kind did you have before? Or could be totally unrelated cause.

Had the stock bov but it was blocked off.

I bought the turbosmart as i thought the stock bov wasnt working properly, was sick of the flutter and was hoping for better response . Turns out the stock bov was probably fine the previous owner had stuffed a bottle cap in one of the hoses.

I was thinking the extra flow of the new cat could cause the motor to run leaner. Which could cause misfiring?

The old cat looked pretty restrictive. Looked like it was 400cell

Coilpacks are probably around 15 months old and are splitfires. I dont think they are faulty though.

Im ruling out the bov as i drove with the new bov installed but not the cat, and did a few hard accelerations but no misfire. It only started after the new cat.

I have a boost guage, the car runs around 16psi of boost although i did not check the guage when i was getting the misfire so maybe boost levels have increased.

The car is an r33 gtst with rb25det and is running a power fc

OK so boost should not be a problem (so long as you haven't still got the original turbo). Have you had a tune in recent times? May help with performance and pick up any problems.

Im running an op6 hypergear highflow and xpurt 1000cc injectors.
The car was tuned about a month ago at chasers motorworks and has been running perfect ever since, until the cat install.

Right now im thinking after i give the car a service(oil, filter, plugs) ill take it back to chasers for a touch up tune and hopefully they can fix it.

Take it to someone else.. there are some interesting tunes from said workshop. 

In have a Nistune file for a R33 they did, interesting at the very least. Jono would have seen the same tune as well.

 

For now pull back your boost before you lean out a lunch a motor 

Yeah i might just take it for a retune somewhere else. Chasers seemed good but i would rather Chequered tune it, they seem to be the best and they also deal with hypergear turbos all the time. Im making sure to drive the car like a grandpa and not hit much boost.

To be honest i really cant be bothered putting the old cat back in. Also when i shake it bits of catalyst fall out (not huge pieces but little crumbles) so im guessing its not in the best nick.

I was thinking of getting an ebc before the retune, any suggestions? I was thinking the turbosmart eboost street.

Also i noticed my canon muffler actually reduces to 2.5 or 2.75 inch piping inside, it has the jasma label. I was thinking of maybe swapping with a true 3 inch muffler.

They do that. Ditch it and get a locally made 3in all the way item.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
