hey guys.. i bought a nissan march superturbo about 7 months ago and it was in very bad condition....
so i ended up rebuilding it all with
new thermostat and gaskets
new intake/exhaust manifold gaskets
new head gasket
new valves
head skimmed
new vavle stem seals / oil seals
new rocker over gasket
ALL GENUINE OE NISSAN FIGARO PARTS.!
it seemed to run bad so baz82 came and had a look at it and all the vacuun pipes were wrong..so he sorted that and he reckoned the turbo seals were gone beacause it was smokey. and he was correct..oil is coming out through the fin of the turbo and into the pipe where the induction kit goes......
next thing i had was a missfire.... so i decided to change a few parts
new genuine figaro hitatchi distributor cap and rotor arm
new genuine figaro plug le3ads
new denzo iriduim spark plugs.... = equivilant to.. ngk R... bpr 7es
but it is still missfiring slightly
baz showed me that the mark on the bottom pulley to set the ignition timing was broken/gone so the timing could not be set accuratley as there was only a replacment tippex mark! so i bought a pulley off him with the mark...but i dont have it yet
would the ignition timing out cause a missfire....?
the car feels as if it dosent have that ommmph to start and i have to hold my foot flat on the accelerator, if i let my foot off the accelerator it will cut out but if i hold it at 1,000 rpm its fine
because of the missfire the supercharger sounds dead and thew car finds it hard to build boost
how would i be able to tell if the engine timing is out because im seriuosly considering getting it reset to be sure..
i done a compression test today and im not sure if my results are good or not
counting away from the timing belt
cylinder 1 = 8bar
cylinder 2 = 7.1 bar
cylinder 3 = 6 bar
cylinder 4 = 7.1 bar
may i add that plug from cylinder 3 was black at the top and its only a new plug...is this the ignition timing....
also the head on my st got 3 or 4 headskims......baz82 said this may cause pre-igniton
i dont know if this post is made clearly of whats wrong with my car but i need to sort it out....
any ideas? :suspect::suspect:
