Hey guys, its probably been discussed before but this is a new one for me ? 

I have a misfire/boost cut issue, not sure exactly what it is, list shows what's been replaced recently!

New Series 2 AFM

New BKR6E Spark Plugs (0.8MM)

New Series 2 Splitfire Coilpacks

New Coil Pack Harness Loom

New RB20 10psi Actuator

New Turbo Gasket Kit

New Exhaust Manifold Gasket Kit

New Intake Gasket Kit

New Exhaust Gaskets

New ARP Head Studs

New 1.3MM MLSR Cometic Head Gasket

New Gates Racing Timing Belt

New TruFlow Water Pump

OP6 Neo Turbo

Aswell as New Xtreme HD Clutch just freshly installed.

Seems to have developed a misfire think it was cylinder 6, taking it to a Skyline Specialist in a couple weeks, just seeing what else I could try on here first! ?

Stock ECU atm, got a fresh Platinum Pro waiting to go in.

Happy New Year ?

If it's a real misfire on #6, and you have all new ignition gear on it, then we will assume that it's not ignition.  But nevertheless, swapping coils &/or plugs around and seeing if the miss moves is a worthwhile diagnostic.  If it's not spark, could be a bung injector.  If it's not those things, then it may well be internal.  Have you done a comp check or leakdown?  Cometic gaskets have very particular surface finish requirements.  Was it put on properly?

If it's not an actual miss and it is instead a boost cut type issue.....OP6 turbo running at 10+ psi will possibly overrun the ECU's happy spot on the AFM signal and call a halt to the fun.

Pretty sure it stays in #6. Injectors were cleaned and flow tested when head was removed, haven't done a comp test yet or leakdown, definitely need to do those! I'm 99% sure head gasket was put on correctly.

Yeah I had that boost cut when I first put the actuator on, replaced spark plugs with 0.8mm instead of 1.1mm and coilpacks with 2nd hand splitfires, and had no boost cut issues after.

That doesn't make a lot of sense.  Boost cut is an ECU function, not an ignition system health issue.  Making it work better (more power) should make a boost cut worse.

It's not necessarily a boost cut anyway.

The other consideration is boost leaks, injector seal leaks, etc.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
