Hey guys, I been reading up and apparently the series II RB25det's have NVCS which is like VVT/VVL.. and also apparently it is controlled by a solenoid somewhere on the engine... at the moment, untill I hit 4500RPM, the tourqe is nothing special.. but from 4500 to redline you get a huge rush of power!! its even noticable on my dyno graph...

Heres my question... is it possible to to have the solenoid always 'on' so that you have the advanced timming on bottom end too?? or to even connect a switch to it similar to the "high boost mode" idea???

Anyone got a pic of this solenoid??

Regards,

Sarkis

the VCT solenoid is the hexagonal thing coming out of the side of the head near the end of the fuel rail and the water outlet...

its a simple on/off solenoid which allows oil to flow into the unit on the end of the cam shaft, and change the advance/retard on the cam.

i actually believe that its "on" from about 1500 to 4500 and OFF before and after that.. so you actually sound like you want it off.

you can do a run with the solenoid unplugged and see if it helps your results, but i dont think it will..

im doing a kick off point rpm test at our next dyno day for the NVCS on the rb25. you do a dyno run with stock setup (kicks off at 4500) then plot power w/rpm. then turn nvcs off (make it kick off at say 1200rpm) then dyno run again. plot it on the same chart and the point where the two intersect is the ideal rpm kick off point. im not sure how useful it will be (if anything at all). but still something fun to try.

powerfc users can alter the kick off point via datalogit

right so it does vary a bit on each engine, sweet as.

in the powerfc i can only change the rpm point.

so it comes on always at about 1400 and then off again at 4500.

so you found the ideal kick off point is near 5500 once tuned ?

More linear power curve. If the cam changes to soon you can loose power and torque,if you can changes at 4500 and it needs to be at 5500 for example then you are giving up max power for 1000rpm right in the guts of your curve. Do a power run with the vvt off then do one with it on from start to rev limit and its easy to see where to switch at.

LINKS - Im currently running the Hi-Boost mode on my factory solenoid therefore constant 7psi... my car is fairly stock except for the split dump and 3" hi flow CAT and exhaust + K&N Pannel filter (165rw/kw) and at 4500 - 5000RPM i get a slight pop (at times) from the exhaust and a rush of power to redline! Its not a misfire for sure cause theres no hesitation and the coils + NGK plugs are only 6 months old.. Im definate its the NVCS kicking in via ECU and CAM gears... all i was hoping to do is get it kicking sooner to get more bottom end... i guess ill need an aftermarket ECU...

Do you guys think resetting my factory ECU would help after getting the exhaust or any other mod fitted?? any benifits?

Cheers

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
