Hey guys, my friends r32 is misfiring badly after 5000 rpm, it has iridium sparkplugs which are 6 months old so i diddnt think it was that, we put a fuel treatment in it 2 weeks ago the max octane boost one, he gave it up to 5000 rpm let it sit there and then gave it up to 6800 rpm and it was ok, but it had to be staggered or it would misfire, now after fuel treatment it still misfires. it has a 3' exhaust pod remapped ecu and hiflowed the stock turbo, BEFORE , the car would run fine on 15 psi,but now its misfiring on 10 psi (were leaving it on 10 psi). any ideas?

A problem that had me scratching my head a couple of years ago

It will be one of these:

1. Coil packs in the Rb20 are prone to f*ck up.

2. Most likely your spark plugs are not gapped correctly and adding octane booster puts this orange shit on them that stops them working correctly and this problem is simply amplified when the gapping is wrong.

that's a generalisation...

from what i have seen, spark plugs are generally either gapped at 0.8mm or 1.1mm in their "factory" form

eg NGK coppers: BCPR6ES-11 or BCPR6ES - both the same plug, both brand new, and as you might guess one is 1.1mm gap and one is 0.8mm gap

so they might be gapped to 0.8mm or they might be 1.1mm. with the symptoms he has described i still have my balls on 1.1mm gap as the source of the problem. If hte gaps are already 0.8mm then i take my balls off the plugs and putthem on coils as the problem

either way, its not too serious

of course it could be something different altogether - i can only suggest what i think based on my personal experiences... i'm not a mechanic

cheers,

Warren

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
