I figured out why my car was "misfiring"... my r33 gtst was playing up when any throttle or boost was applied, misfiring". So I hooked up my laptop to my link g4 ECU and ran a data log and found out on that log I had been boosting over 26psi !!!! it was tuned on 15psi and made 320hp to the wheels and one day started doing this weird fuel cut or ignition cut thing. SURELY this has something to do with it, but I cant find any fault codes or anything been thrown up when im hooked up to the ECU. The only thing is a couple time a RPM limit popped up but i was no where near the 7500 redline. ???? I have no clue with this tuning stuff so any ideas ?? I also blocked off my boost controller to the wastegate and still did the same thing as before but didnt run a data log to see what was up. I will attach the data log to this. (9:51 mins is where I boost spike the most)

 

Thanks for all your help.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
