ok someone please help this problem is giving me the major shits!

the car is r33, with wolf4, pump, reg, Innovative To4e, with mid 300rwhp.

the problem is as soon as its about to come on boost there is these massive shotgun bangs, WTF is it???? its driving me crazy! it obvisiously doesnt come on boost properly when it does this. but off boost it drives fine.

ok its been tuned but couldnt do a proper power run coz of this problem so i dont think its the tuning that causes it. however the tuner reckon somethings going on with your timing on boost... go change crank sensor and come back, done that but same shit!

its soo frustrating some one know wats going on??? this is obviously no good for my engine ye???

is there any diff between series1 and series2 crank angle sensors????

any help much appreciated, thanx

Holycrap you know what, I was JUST ABOUT TO POST THIS about my car!

I have an RB25DET w/ GT30R in my R32 skyline. Running 1bar wastegate spring. I make about 400whp.

This has happened to me as well since last Sunday.

Normal driving, it's ok.

Once I hit high boost and the wastegate starts dumping, I get a popping / banging sound.

I am thinking that it is misfiring, possibily bad sparkplugs.

You should also put a wideband on it and see how the AFR is.

I'll be playing around with it today, i'll see what I find out.

I'll be pulling the plugs today and check the coils as well.

I remember you questioning my setup and power in a previous thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...23697&st=20

Yes, 400WHP is possible with a GT30R on a RB25... dyno sheet speaks for itself. Just cause you've never seen it / heard of that much power at 1bar, doesn't mean it's not possible :angry:

Yea, power is at the topend...

Plugs in good condition?

Coils working?

side note 604 - 14psi/gt30/rb25 300rwkw = impossible

Edited by 604cefiro

I find that hard to believe mate....our rb30det with a gt35/40 on 18psi is only making 240rwkw.... If your making that magical 300rwkws on 1 bar your turbo truly is magical.

I have a gt30r on my own r33 and im running 1 bar atm...sure as hell aint 400rwhp! :angry:

Not 100% sure but i think there maybe a difference in the sensors, maybe the plug? I know there was a difference in the rb20's.

Obviously read ya plugs, cause it seems like its over fueling when coming onto boost and the whole mixture isnt getting burnt and is igniting as it passes out the exhaust. Or it is ya timing and its retarding something fierce when ya start boosting. Strange one. I dont understand how the timing would do something like that once its set during tuning, it cant change by itself well not that dramatically especially with a/m ecu.

ok thanx some good info, but in regards to

plugs: mine are new as, so it rules that out! but i hear to gap them at .8 is better on relatively hi hp cars??? yes/ no?

af sensor: using wolf so no a/f sensor. so thats ruled out!

come on other peeps someone else must be havin same problem, im sick of spending my coin on dick chops who cant find teh problem!

to me it doesnt sound like its mis firing, its just massive gun shot/ detonation noises that are repeated if u keep your foot down on boost. could be the overfueling but wouldnt all this have been sorted out in the dyno i had?? how do i check if its this, back to the dyno i guess!

thanx fellas

Thats cause its not possible >_<

I know, i had a GT30 on an RB25 (surpsise)

Plus thats graph and its power delivery looks more like something i'd expect from a 800-900hp turbo

Its quite easy to make a car seem like its got a LOT more power than it has

Humour us, go take it to the drags and see what you get... my get is a high 12.

What state do you live in?

Hey man, Im in WA

Does the car shudder when entering boost?

What does the bang sound like, record it or something

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t93061.html

Just found that - maybe you have ALS? or maybe something is retarding you timing when you enter boost? causing a huge missfire and loss of boost?

i'd say some setting on ECU maybe? even tho he said it was fine?

I'm havin the exact prob with my RB20DET also... When taking off and driving slowly with boost pressure in vacuum its fine... As soon as you go to boost it up it just looses power and starts broad minded persontereing then if you keep your foot into it it'll let off a huge backfire and a nice flame...

I've got new platinum plugs, replaced 2 coil packs, o/hauled alternator, replaced O2 sensor, cleaned AFM and checked fuel pressure, pump and regulator... Its really starting to do my head in... I WANT BOOST!!!!

i thoght i was the lucky one to only have this problem hahah, makes me feel better now that im not the only one!

hmmm... "turbo ALS(Anti-Lag System), it first starts off by running rich then retards the ignition timing by 40 degrees. with the delayed ignition timing this results in some of air fuel mixture being vented into the exhaust manifold unburned. when the mixture hits the hot exhaust manifold it ignites on contact and this is what keeps the turbo spooling even when the driver lifts off the throttle. with the air fuel mixture igniting outside cylinder is what causes the loud bangs. some of the mixture will continue buring through the exhaust system resulting in flames shooting out the muffler. i will note that a misfiring system will wreck havok and greatly reduce the life of an engine. its also illeagal to use on the streets since theyre so loud, especially in CA with strict emmisions."

somehow i dont think wolf4 has antilag so i dont think that is my/our probem,

IS ANYONE ELSE USING WOLF4 IN PARTICULAR or AFTERMARKET ECUs WITH SAME PROBLEM?????

i think i may have to put std ecu back in to exclude the ecu, will keep posted!

"shudder" as in jerk back and forth??? yes it does that on boost, it feels like a learner taking off at the lights.

the bang sounds excatly like a shotgun to me, if you ease off when it bangs it will only do it once, however if u keep your foot down it will go BANG... BANG... BANG... while jerking/ shuddering at the sametime until you ease off!

soooo annoying and im thinking mega unhealthy for engine.

If you live in Perth, contact Ant95GTR and ask if he could give you a copy of his map. Sounds like the tunner has not programmed the wolf properly or has accidentaly turned a feature on that he shouldn't have. The wolf is capable of running "anti-lag", but this is unlikely to be your problem.

Have you tried plugging the factory ecu and airflow sensor back in? If you have std injectors there shouldn't be too much of an issue, just as a short test.

It just sounds like a bad tune :

Exact same thing happened to mine with what seems the common set up in this thread, on a standard rb25, gt30r turbo with external gate running with a wolf ecu. The same thing happened to me a couple of times, but I found only before the engine warmed up. Before you think it, I don't thrash my car when it's cold, but it only did it not long after start up. If it didnt make a huge bang & shudder, it would just pop from the exhaust. This hadn't happened for a while before my engine let go, so this wasn't related to it. From a bit of research & the symptoms of them, chances are it's the standard coilpacks causing this to happen.

But this NEVER happened after I had been driving it a while, only in the first 5-10 under mild acceleration.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
