So I went for a hard launch this morning and got a multiple misfire code on torque. problems?

Hey turbine do you know your 0-60 time and 1/4 time after you got boosted?

HP Turbine · 07-30-2013, 04:02 PM

I don't have any time slips. I plan on going to the track at some point. It's a few hours away and I need new tires, helmet, and jacket first.

Could be several things. What is your AFR? What are your plugs gapped to? Does it happen if you drop the boost 10%?

HP Turbine · 07-30-2013, 04:42 PM

AFR gauge bounces from high 11 to low 12.
I'm not sure what the gap on the plugs is but they put in NGK iridium plugs.
Lowering the boost? or running at low boost? My boost controller was holding 14# I think I saw 16# for an instant. but not sure. I don't know much about the boost controller and adjusting it.

Read up on the boost controller and try it at around 12 psi. Your AFR should go down in the solid 11s. If the misfire persists then it probably isn't blowing the spark out. If the misfire gets better then gap your plugs down about 0.02 from what they are now and put the boost back up.

Thanks for the help. I'll figure out the controller and see what happens. I just slapped my gopro on the window on the way to work. I did a pull from 60 to 90 or so and it happen again. I think the boost was 13.6 when it happened. I'll check the video in the morning and see what it really was.

Here's the video of the misfire from yesterday. You can hear it break up right at the very end. It does look like the AFR started going the other way at the same time.

What kind of cold air intake is that?

Umm. I have filters directly attached to the turbos

I couldn't read the AFR from the gauge, but what was it at the end? Sounds like what was happening on my LLT. Wouldn't do it on the short runs on the dyno, but at the track it would sputter on the top end. Sent Vince logs and he said everything looked okay, but I'm pretty sure that's in the tune. I would suggest logging it and getting the data back to IPS. There's just so much you can do while it as the at the shop. They just need some data to tweak it a bit I bet. I think you will be okay after that.

b1gr3dmachin3 · 08-01-2013, 01:38 PM

Hope you get that figured out! By the way, did you need to upgrade any other parts of your car after you got the turbo, suspension or brakes etc?

What I can see from the video
Boost----------- AFR
10--------------- 11.3
11----------------11.5
12----------------11.4
13----------------11.4
13.6-------------11.5
13.6-------------11.7
14.1-------------12.1
misfire

I'll see what I can do about sending logs to IPS. I still need to drop the boost and check the plugs.

no im talking about your actual intake what brand is it or is it custom ?
