Nopi Nationals Sept 24-25 Moroso

[JET]

If you don't have any spare plug wires you could swap #1 and #2 (coil and engine). Then if #1 turns black you know it is the wire. If you have spare wires then just put another one on.

[SlowWhite]

I'll have to swap wires as I don't have any others. I'll start the car and let it warm up, that way I can also do a warm compression test for you guys.

[SlowWhite]

Ok just warmed up the car and did another compression test along with swapped wires. But only ran car for 5 minutes at idle reving up to 3K and holding it on and off through out. (temp gauge came up but didn't have dsmlink on to see if it was actually up to 196-200 was probably more like 145-160 temp as I was still able to put my hand of the intake with it hurting to much (ie: pulling on throttle cable to rev up motor)

Compression from passengerside to driverside: No spark, No fuel
165
170
180
170


When I pulled the spark plugs, little bit of smoke came out the #1 cylinder, by the time I got the 2nd one out all the smoke was gone.

Anyrate there wasn't no change in the #2 cylinder spark plug even though I changed the plug wires. But probably didn't run it long enough to make a difference as I only idled it, and then held the RPMS at 3K on and off for 5 minutes.

Also fixed the Slop in the shifter 1 of the bolts that holds the cables to the tranny was missing and the other was almost completely backed out. I had spare grommets from my other 6 tranny's I've broke so I just replaced the missing bold/gromments and tightened the 2nd one up and she felt as good as new.

Those numbers aren't too bad. Did you re-check the one that was 165 to make sure if wasn't a false reading the first time? How many cranks are you letting it go and are you holding the gas pedal to the floor?

I would put in some new plugs and drive the car for a bit and see how the plugs look after a day or two with the wires switched around. Your compression isn't low enough or that different from 1 cylinder to the next for it to be that causing the problem. Maybe pull your valve cover off also and make sure nothing popped off up there.

I did the #1 cylinder twice the first time I got a reading of 165. But I didn't hold the gas pedal down. I disconnected the Fuel injectors, and the Coil Pack so I don't even know if I needed to hold the gas pedal down. But I did anyways. I cranked all cylinders over for 10 revolutions.

tomarrow I'll have some time to drive the car around. Once I check it over. I also checked my SMI to see if I was missing any bolts which Might explain the smoke that I saw when I pulled up to the entrance gate at moroso. But no bolts were missing. So I'm not sure what happened there. Other then today I noticed the top to what I think is my brake fluid reseviour(sp) was almost unscrewed all the way.

The Tech guy turned it at the track. maybe it was loose when I got there or something and the fluid splashed onto the intake? who knows. But It's tight now. And I can't seem to duplicate the smoke issue.

[SlowWhite]

Ok I think I found the issue... I just started reviewing my logs and noticed they don't look right.

I'm putting together all my runs (only up to run #3 so far but) in order and on my 3rd run I started taking off with neg 3 degrees of timing.

DSMSTYLE doesn't have the format for dsmlink logs - but I'd really love to post them or show them to the tuners on here to get there opinions on what's going on.

[SlowWhite]

Ok I have them online but I have to get my brother to write me a scipt so that they are viewable for you guys. I can't figure it out. So hopefully he'll be able to do if for me first thing tomorrow when he gets into work. I"m about to email him right now.

[niterydr]

email them to me. sales@lse-performance.com

[SlowWhite]

Ok Scott showed me how to get the files to show up here's the link to the folder with all my runs along with 3 others for reference. as long as you have downloaded dsmlink off there website at www.dsmlink.com you should be able to view them. I'm currently runny version 2.5,2.8 which if you don't have you can get the updated version from the downloads on there site.

Set the timing to 5 as John and Shane instructed and then went for a drive, the #2 cylinder is definetely not firing or something. Took it for a spin to the store 2 miles There and 2 miles back. On a brand new set of spark plugs (NGKBPR7ES) and when I pulled them they looked identical to the last set.

Did another compression test this time DSMLINK showed 203 coolant temps just prior to removing spark plugs.

From passengerside to Driverside:(spark and fuel disabled along with Gas all the way to the floor)
#1 - 175
#2 - 170
#3 - 180
#4 - 160 (checked twice)

did it again just to make sure:
#1 - 180
#2 - 165
#3 - 180
#4 - 160

Cam gears are also still set to zero.

I did notice a Whining sound coming from my car when ever I got on boost. And as soon as I'd let off the gas it went away immediately. Sounded almost as if you put a blade of grass between your two thumbs and blow. Got louder the as the PSI increased.
