Yo!

I took my car for a run tonight with a mate who's practically a mechanic to see if he could figure out why my cars running so slow. Anyways the turbotech is set at 10-11psi but was spiking from 12 to even close to 15psi at times partiuclarly in 2nd gear, whenever it spiked to that amount my car would make this rapid muffled sort of backfiring noise and lose a huge amount of power..

My mate told me it's the boost cut... From what i know theres a restrictor in one of the hoses that connects to the turbotech, if the mechanics left that hose there and didnt take the restrictor out and just connected it to the turbotech would that be whats causing the problem? and is my mate right about that noise and power loss?

Cheers

Luke

noise an power loss definately sounds like a (edited for SK :( ) : excess airflow protection

mine was caused by the air filter element falling out of the pod and the boost spiking to near 16 psi..

dont know what the turbotech is so im not sure what to say about the restrictor.

oh i run a blitz ID3 so i never read that thread..

if your i doubt, run new hoses from the plenum/IC pipe to the controller, then new ones to the actuator..

no chance of a restrictor that way.

So there is a restrictor in the stock hoses? I'll do what you said though tomorrow :( maybe thats why my car wasn't pulling anything on the dyno...lets just hope the mechanics are hopeless in all respects and that thats the problem :yucky: i'll have to get a fresh dyno from elsewhere after i fix the boost cut problem, is there anything else that could cause a boost cut?

Hey SK

I run KN flat filter ,Jaycar boost controller, threeand half cat back and my " protection" cuts real bad from 8-9 pounds how come half these guys dont get it till after 10? no fair!! if I keep it over 4000 through the gears its ok but from 2500 you would think someones turning the key on and off. I have an SAFC ( the blue one) shouldn't that fool the ECU into thinking the signals less and stop it?

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
