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 .

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
