Yup i have now got my hands on a beast of a typhoon......

The number of aftermarket parts on it is amazing - this car has REALLY been built for the speed!!

Its had:
Battery moved to the boot!

Aftermarket Pars:
ColdAir Intake Box
Coil
Leads
Remote Oil filter (with pressure gauge)
Elecy oil pump (secondary to the normal oil pump!)
Intake manifold
BIG Turbo Charger (the gauge reads up to 30psi boost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Breathers and pipes
And lots of other bits as well.

Alli gorra do is sort the major misfire and hten we find out what its got, even with a MAJOR misfilre, i had it wheelspinning from 1st-> 2nd shift !!!!!

Im gonna guess that there is to much boost and it is blowing the spark out, my boss had this on his subaru, will ask how they solved it tomorrow

you may be able to fix that by fitting a higher discharge coil, re gapping and then indexing the plugs, which means getting them facing the right way in the hole...

if its running REAL high boost and it IS blowing the spark out, uppping the intensity should help that.. or an MSD which will emmit several short sparks to get thngs going..

nice car though dude... very nice... I'd love one of those as a daily, just a bit pricey for me at the moment... but one day........

Yeah from memory it ended up runing race plugs with virtualy no gap, also you need to be sure its fueling enough as detonation on turbo engines will destroy an engine and pluds in a very short time

Nah doubt it mate, as its misfiring when at idle with 0 boost.....

Hmm may keep that in mind - gunna go through the obvious first (plugs, leads, coil, rotor, distribtuer etc) then see where we at!

also you need to be sure its fueling enough

Now that (thankfully) is uber easy - its got a nice digital mixture reading box in the car shows you if it running lean, correct or too rich!!!!

a quick blat round the block revealed about 4 pots firing... then, just before the redline, all 6 chimed in, the damned thing nearly took off, then started spinning the wheels.... at the top end of 2nd gear, just before 3rd
