orly?

hrmmm i am getting a bit of a miss fire at idle and at high rpms (7.8k or so)......but ive been running the bcpr7es's for 4 months now and its been mint.

ngk doesnt seem to make a 8 in the bcprXes range, which is why im asking if anyone has some part numbers handy........

as for the iridiums im here in the USA, shipping wouldnt be worth it, thx for the offer tho.

changing the plug heat range will highly unlikely fix your problem.

what ignition system do you run, what gaps?

unless your using a sustained output of 400hp for minutes on end, going to a 8 rating plug will more then likely just foul up quicker and cause more missing, because they aren't hot enough to burn the carbon deposits off.

is this a dedicated race car or street car your talking about?

currently running std ignition system, but looking into upgrading it.

i suspect a faulty coil but since im running higher than stock boost (17psi on high boost) i thought it would be wise to step up to a cooler plug.

i usualy run .8mm gap but gapped the plugs down to .6mm to see if that would help with the car any, but it hasnt.

this is also a street car that sees 400whp on the weekends but is on low boost (14) for the rest of the week.

you need to upgrade your ignition system.

but i wouldnt go to a 8 unless its a dedicated race car.

iether

bcpr7ey or s (y = vgrooved centre electrode)

bkr7ey or s

bke7eix (iridum)

pfr7a or b etc (platnum)

or in denso.

iq22 (best one.)

all the normal coper ones should be changed with your oil.

Lets remember to that 400whp US isn't 400whp AUS its probly somewhere around 330w hp so around 250rwkw. Its not to excessive power wise considering their 93 octane fuel. Check your coil's dude. Your miss at idle is probably due to you plugs being gapped so low. If you need a 0.6mm gap its time for CDI.

car makes about 288rwkw's on a dyno dynamics dyno.

as far as the coils being bad im sure thats the cause, but as far as a ignition system upgrade what do you guys sudgest?

supra guys here stateside swear by the hks twinpower, while ive heard that it does nothing, any good reccomendations on cdi systems?

im not a huge fan of splitfire coils as i noticed no diferance with them.

a twin power would be the easiest option.

sort of half a cdi but withought all the mucking around withe signal conerters for a msd and leads with twinpost coils. etc

yah, from what ive been told they arnt much better power wise than stockers.......

as for the twin power, im kinda hesitant on it, some say it works others say stay away, so im not sure what to do about that.

i did however get some NIB GM DIS coils of ebay for a dollar, and for me to sort leads would be about 40$, so doing an external coilsetup wouldnt be too terribly hard........and if i did that i could go ahead and grab a msd dis-4 box and call it a day and still have some money left over vs buying a twinpower or splitfires.

this info in this thread is excelent, even just for the spark plug numbers, its much appreciated!

The splitfires are good for stock replacements, they are much much cheaper. I end up paying over $100 for a single new coil from Yahoo japan through Rinkya.

If your coils are truely going bad, they obviously will make a difference. My point is it not a good idea buying a DLI and sending that power through dying coils.

agreed.

i plan on wiring up these external coils and seeing how she goes, but i do agree that trying to power up dying coils is a bit stupid.

if all goes well these external coils should help a bit and if not its not too much lost (1$ for 3 NIB coils off ebay) and i can always go with the proven splitfires......

    • 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.
