Hey guys,

A few months ago, my car was running a 8PSI spring in the external Tial wastegate. The Apexi AVCR was set to 1 Bar. I started to notice that the DEFI gauge would start registering higher and higher numbers. So recently I dropped a 1 Bar spring into the Tial, and turned OFF the AVCR, to see if it would stop boost creep since Apex AVCR are known for spiking.

Now in theory, the car shouldn't boost higher than 1 Bar since the external gate has a 1 Bar spring correct?

After I put the 1 Bar spring in, the car started to misfire and go bang bang bang at high boost high RPM ( view thread here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=127752 )

Ontop of the misfiring problem, my DEFI gauge started to show higher and higher numbers. First it was 1.2 bar, then 1.25, then 1.3, then 1.35, and now it shows 1.5!!

Im also aware that DEFI boost gauges sometimes show higher numbers, but being off by 0.5 bar is a little much.

Anyone have a clue what's going on???

My RB25 is internally stock, but i do have supporting mods for the power i dyno'd at.

Another thing is that i feel that my 440 Injectors are maxing out. Will be going much bigger in a few weeks.

Thanks for the help guys.

You do have the lines connected properly right? I had my avcr hooked up arse about in that it will still setup for a internal gated turbo, not external and the boost kept spiking randomly all over the place.

Or as R31Nismoid said the lines may be damaged or have holes or splits in them.

side note *(Not to be rude, but 440cc injectors could not support your 400whp, that means maxed out your making 440hp @ the fly (give or take 10-15hp), does your driveline only use 40hp, how come your drivetrain is more hp efficient then mine? Theoretically you could only make about 360whp max with those injectors. Ofcourse they could be freakish and flow way more then their stated rating.) I know weve all spoken about this before, so i apologise for it being off track.

It sounds like either a restriction in the wastegate or outlet or a problem in the plumbing to the wastegate, either blocked or split line.

I'd remove the avcr from the loop completely and replace the line between your boost signal and wastegate as a start. Also check that the pipe off your wastegate hasn't been crushed under the car somehow.

i worked out his power reading... he lives in the US :D

they are a lot different. So its closer to our... 260rwkw

Well that makes sense then. Cause the mods and power just dont add up!

Maybe check the valve itself in the gate and see if its working properly, or maybe that you didnt damage the neoprene seal in the top part of the gate when you or whoever changed over the spring.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
