Hi all, l didn’t want to put anything on the forum, however l am unable to work this out and am extremely frustrated, hopefully someone can give me some good direction.

the car blew a cooler hose, since then it has developed a miss at approx 5,000 rpm upwards.

the strange thing is that it now fowls only plug number 6.

all others are fine.

changed coil packs around and same issue.

new coil loom, same. Car runs, idles and drives fine, as long as you don’t go past 5.000 rpm.

running apexi fc. Has had tune. Developed this after the tune. However was running amazing until the hose blew off. 
Boost is a conservative 15.

if anyone can give me some direction it would be greatly appreciated.

regards.

Sounds like it had a boost leak ( the cooler hose about to pop off) and was tuned to suit that. Now boost leaknis gone tune is wrong.

 

Did you pressure test the cooler pipes before the tune?

 

Yes, plugs changed, several sets now.

has had new cooler piping both sides.

turbo  side to air filter done pre tune. Intake done only a week ago. Still same problem.

 

Car ran perfect after tube, 232rwkw. @ 15psi.

drove it 250kms after tune, no issue. Gave it a few short drives and it, again, was perfect.

blew the intake pipe to plenum off. 

once this happened it ran like shit.

changed plugs as they were all Fouled. 
since then it has had the issue.

Appreciate everyone’s input.

 


 

I have seen a car foul plugs mysteriously more than others, and it turned out to be the diaphragm in the FPR that had failed, sending fuel into the plenum into two cylinders specifically.

Something mechanical has let go in the cylinder that is fouling. It would be very suprising to somehow make a tune that only fouls 1 cylinder unless you are playing with cylinder trims, which I don't think is very common on a powerFC.

You need more data available to you. Is the problem spark related? Fuel related? You may need a dyno to figure this out.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
