guys i have a major prob...jst got my car bak from the kanic, ran sweer 4 bout 2 weeks. now she idles rough, accasionally puffs oil smoke,and wen gets boosted past 7psi, it throws u over the steering wheel...once u get revs up off boost its ok, if u rev 2 high or boost it, the catch can nearly explodes with overflowing oil.....i had sum work dun described below:

xtr high flowed turbo,zorst, hybrid cooler,850cc injectors,haltech ecu,550hp pump,twin plate clutch,etc.. u thnk possible lean out ending my rings? HELP!!!!!

il do a comp test 2 day.. ive been meaning to but my lazy ass couldnt be fudged taking all that piping crap off...wat a bitch of a job just to do a plug ay.. its been tuned for 300rwkw so he says, it was leaving holden r8 s for dead, now im lucky if i can beat a vw beetle off the lights!

Sounds like rings to me  :wub:

More than one... you might have the record of 5 by the sound of it

i just picked up a seal kit, ring set and 1.6mm head gasket. at a total price of $845...... gotta love aftermarket nissan gear...lol i hope ur rite r31nismoid, i cant really afford pistons on top of that

Ringlands of the piston will most likely be cactus I'm afraid.

Unless your motor has lots and lots of kms on it the factory nissan rings will last quite alot longer without losing compression.

You say the engine has been 'tuned' to 300rwkw. Do you have a dyno readout with the AFR's, RB25's need to run on the rich side of 12 to be save at higher boost due to having some decent compression ?

The other thing is that a 550hp fuel pump (I'm guessing walbro) is a tad small for 300rwkw given drivetrain losses. That sails very close to the wind. If you had a partially blocked fuel filter you could lean the motor out. At 412rwhp or 307rwkw figure that pump maxes out assuming it's going to even get 550hp worth of fuel in at the fuel pressure you are running.

Sorry mate. Sounds like rebuild time. At least you can put some forgies in there to handle the power better next time.

the motor has dun 175,000klms.... please say just the rings....

Thats alot of kms. However, the shear amount of oil going in to the catch can, the fact that the fuel pump is smallish, there wasn't a gradual increase in oil catch and it showers everyone in oil if you floor it means busted piston.

It's all over my friend. A compression test will show you the money very quickly. If you don't have a guage a cheap one can be bought for $30 from somewhere like supercheap auto.

have to agree totally with rev, its either rings gone (DEFINITELY more than 1), ringlands or the pistons themselves. If it were just a single ring it would take a little while to fill the catch can...

rebuild time, but definitely a comp test and possiblly a leak down will show the true colours of your problem!!!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
