You've got a remapped ecu that is certianly not tuned for your bigger turbo... There is your problem. You can't hear all pinging. It'll be rattling those forgies left right and center and you won't have  clue till you start seeing blue smoke in the rearview mirror.

Dumbest shit ever.

Go and get your car tuned properly before you kill it.

if you had of Listed your mods to start with, explained what you've done, and didn't be a smartassed prick about it you might have gotten better answers. You wonder why people have got no idea what you're on about and can't help you? Noticed the scattered posts that people have left here with no idea?

Is it just me, or does SAU get stupider by the week?

"Everyone, omg, wtf, I just installed a bigger turbo and my car doesn't ping at 20psi! Whats wrong with it!!!!1111oneone!!111!!"

try reading the question properly! in the future instead of writing just wat is in your head, actually y bother if you just want to be a smartass. The reason i didnt list the supporting mods is cause it has no effect on the ACTUAL question, you just wanted to pick s*%t.

secondly you say "Is it just me, or does SAU get stupider by the week?"

sorry we dont all just sit behind a computer and think we r clever cause we can type we can actually do the mods OURSELFS "mechanically minded" instead of paying a performance shop $$$$ to do it for us,

thanks you actually offered help!!! :D

With a rebuilt turbo it should be more efficent, meaning more airflow at the same psi of restriction. So actually if it was tuned on map it would be more likely to ping and if on maf same thing but max it out sooner and go into rich mapping to avoid detonation, maybe thats why.

A new turbo wont give you more boost on the same setting, (i dont care who you are) its just a setting to tell the wastegate when to open.

My 2 cents.

dipshit, I did the mods myself. I don't tune, because I don't have the equipment.

You started off with the smartassed remarks, and you went on about why your car isn't pinging... thats just a dumb question... I know enough about tuning to know that its not pinging for a reason...which is probably good...

you want it to ping... go and fuel up with 91 octane fuel..

Do you have electronic Boost control?

if so, it shoudl hold the same boost.

Do you have standard Boost control?

if so, I doubt it would just 7 psi just from changing the turbo.

Do you have a blee valve?

is so, it's probably knacker or have been knocked during the refitting and needs to be adjusted back.

Do you have an aftermarket computer?

if not, your stock computer is doing the rich and retard dance.

More details, or we are all pissingg in the wind, and I don't like getting wet.

We need to know everything about the problem including supporting modifications before we can accurately help.

What you have done is said this

I just put new tyres on my bike.

Then I fell off.

Why?

Please give us some more details.

BASS OUT

yes but its a little old school its the hks ez

that was set on 13 before changed turbo when turbo went back in and no one moved the dial was at 20psi

Do you have standard Boost control?

if so, I doubt it would just 7 psi just from changing the turbo.

the internal wastegate is set at 15psi, but yeh refer question 1

Do you have a blee valve? n/a

is so, it's probably knacker or have been knocked during the refitting and needs to be adjusted back.

Do you have an aftermarket computer? remap

if not, your stock computer is doing the rich and retard dance.

now i got it sorted anyway i got it a 18psi that me happy enough atm, till can re-tune

The ebc works on a fixed duty cycle to set boost. If it were a 'learning' ebc where you dial in 15psi and it learns what duty cycle required to achieve that boost level at various rpms then it would be a different story.

I think maybe a boost leak has been fixed up in the process. :P

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
