i just added a hiflow turbo to my skyline

it has these mods

apexi

3inch dump pipe and exhaust

Z32 airflow meter and pod

gtr fuel pump

front mount cooler

blitz boost controller

high flow ball bearing 450hp turbo from turbo australia

standard manifolds

on 10psi it made 251rwhp but ran into nock problems

at 13deg timing could not run any more boost or timing into it ...

The nock would go to high .

they even richened the fuel up at the top end .... to stop it knocking but this did not help

It would not knock till right on 6200rpm ....

Any one else seen this problem before ?

dnyo sheets are here http://www.tuffstreetcars.com/skyline2.pdf

He will be running a SAFC which you can run aftermarket AFM's with. . The SAFC has limitations you need to compromize between your air/fuel ratio and timing this is fine with the stock turbo but it starts to get difficult when an aftermarket turbo is added to the mix. Its probably time to invest in a Power FC or similar you will probably also need to upgrade the injectors.

sorry i have a power fc just tuned on the dyno ....im not using all of the injectors i have yet as i cant up the boost or timing as the knock goes to high looking at the turbo housing size ....right now but im not sure thats why i asked

Looking @ the dyno sheet, the tuning is nothing short of below average.

Has the tuner got expirience with PowerFC's ... and turbo performance in general ?

Whats the fuel pressure like?

Personally i would say the problem begins and ends with the workshop you have there.

I would go somewhere else for a secondary opinion.

Might cost some $$ but i would think it will save you some hassle

Seconded

How can you have a power fc and a stock ecu? Piggybacked due to auto?

If it is a power fc tune then that is sub par, I agree with nismod, safc then acceptable and also explains your detonation issue and having to mess with the base timing rather than the specific cells where the detonation occurs.

yeah that's a pretty rough power curve. can see his mods to the AFRs were decent but the power is still quite ordinary.

Time to go for a full ECU, rather than a piggyback. If that is a full ECU then get a better tuner.

A little off thread Dan, but do you know the ID tag numbers off your hi-flow core?

The guys from Turbo Australia are pretty good, just interested to see what specs they ran for your unit.

I'd have a few concerns about the output, given I achieved 223rwhp with a stock turbo @ 7.5psi and other similar supporting mods to yours. Look at the tuning I suspect.

cheers

hi i dont have the turbo now its back at there shop ...till they sort it out, stock one is back on and feels a lot better then the high flow right now ...so im not sure what the problem is

yeah sorry was late when i posted it just has the power fc handcontroler

Have you taken it somewhere else for tuning?

these are the guys the turbo shop wants to do the tune on it ...

when i bought the turbo i was told they done a lot of the 450hp hiflows , only to find out im now the first one they have done so they are trying to fix the problem best they can .

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
