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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
