Turbo K24A1 - Misfiring at the track
Was up at Buttonwillow this weekend for the first time on this motor and after 2-3 laps the CEL came on and car went into limp mode. After half lap of easy limp mode driving the CEL and limp mode went off for another couple laps.
I pulled in and checked Kmanager. I had 6 codes. I don't have them in front of me right now but 4 were for misfiring of each cylinder, plus a code for random cylinder misfire, and lastly engine overheating.
I have never experienced a misfire on this engine on the street, or any other turbo engine on the track. Not sure where to begin here.
Last month I posted a thread about being power/knock limited, ultimately concluding that my stock fuel pump, regulator are limiting fuel pressure. Could this be related to that?
Or what should I look at in the ignition system? Spark Plugs are Denso IK24

I think that would be highly unlikely with just 2k miles on the motor and head gasket and no other symptoms of a blown gasket.

Re: Turbo K24A1 - Misfiring at the track
Seven months later, I finally was able to spend some time on this today.
I checked the spark plugs and the compression. I have no record of new spark plugs since 2008, so now realizing there is a chance they are that old. Think that could be an issue? Thoughts on these?
Compression
1 - 162
2 - 158
3 - 156
4 - 161
