Sudden miss under heavy boost

[rfultz]

Was racing an abarth and started missing under 25 psi of boost on cylinder 2 then had a consistent miss and now the car wont start, prior to this was getting strong smells of gas wafting into the cabin. Any guesses if this could be a coil pack or am I probably looking at an engine? If so how much all in for a replacement engine

Just a cylinder 2 misfire, had to leave the car on the side of the interstate, i think p0202. but pulled the code from cobb AP and it definitely said cylinder 2 misfire, that was the only code. OCT adjust ratio dropped to 0 too

0 not -0? How many miles on the car? I'd be pulling the coil and plug and doing a compression check on that Cyl and all the others.

91k, mostly highway. I unfortunately had to go to work and am heading out of town for work tomorrow and won't have time before I go. The existential dread is real. Any idea of what a new engine would cost?

Car should technically start if it's a coil. But change coils 4 and 2 and see if it'll start with a miss on cylinder 4. If that's the case it's just a bad coil. Otherwise, like I recommend to everyone else, go to AutoZone and borrow their compression tester. If the numbers aren't close, start saving up. Most of the time it's a hole in a piston.

I'd say anywhere between $800-$1800. Depending on mileage for a used option. New 2500-8k for performance variants.

Also, if your on stock turbo I wouldn't consider 25 psi heavy boost. That's just another day lol.

Is it really that cheap, and does that include labor?

Yeah stock turbo, I'm really hopping it's just the coil pack. Fucking sucks that it breaks down right before I go out of town for four days now I have to sit and worry about my baby

More than likely it's just the coil. They are pretty reliable at failing around 100k miles. Also, you weren't really pushing it hard. My engine blew at around 35-40 psi on the stock turbo. So there's hope. Also, labors gonna be a lot more but you could try putting the engine in yourself. It really isn't that hard. Just need a good socket set and a cherry picker really.

Know of any write ups? I've pulled subie engines before but theyre basically legos...

Lol you could try my build thread to get a basic idea of stuff

Pretty sure it's turbo seals

Dude that's fucking nuts man. I'm glad you found it and that should be a cheap fix. Good thing you went digging.

Holy shit that's a new one!

Yeah it's nuts, this thing was spewing so much oil it was pouring out the hotside, hence the smoke under engine. I purchased a hybrid from whoosh but was debating on a 2860r gen 2, not a fan of a 2 month lead time on the hybrid, what are your guy's thoughts

I’m running a 2860 Gen 2. Love it but the kit comes from ATP leaving something to be desired on the manifold adapter solution

I was going to order from whoosh and get the upgraded waste gate for lower spool. When does your power come on? And how difficult was install

I know you're replacing the turbo but as someone who just went through a very annoying misfire saga, replace those coils too. Mine were cooked at 80k.
