Hi everyone,

Took my car in for a full re-tune on Friday 01/09/06 after installing a new batch of goodies... spent all day at it once again (literally) and came out a very happy man; yet not so happy (you know what I mean).

Tuner spent most of the day mapping the fuel maps and the ignition maps making sure they're all perfect and smooth - I kid you not; they're SMOOTH!!!

Came out of the room with 225.31rwkw @ 10psi - we had hit a boost "leak" problem.

EDIT: Dyno Graph Uploaded 060906

bd4s0109060001rc5.th.jpg

PROBLEM: With the EBC (cheapy hybrid one) set at 18psi; it built up boost quickly (1bar by 3,500rpm and full by 4,500rpm) but at 5,500rpm onwards it dropped/leaked back down to 10psi. This resulted in my lower than expected max power figure. Had the boost held 18psi all the way to 7,200rpm redline; we're certain we'd be up around the 250-265 area.

Anyways; what I'm wondering is what the cause of this is... there are a few theories:

1) The Boost Controller

2) The Wastegate Actuator (still stock)

Want to get the right answer so when I get sick of this 225rwkw feeling; I'll fix it up and get it tuned once more. Just want to know what the cause is so I can get the right parts to fix it up. At the moment the car is awesome; very smooth!

Big round of applause to the guys at BD4s for spending all day on it and getting it perfect to what it's capable of. Many thanks to Mitch and Trent from NBP for also taking the time to be there and work on the car when solving the problems.

Will post up a dyno graph tomorrow; left it at home~

I recomend doing both. For wastegate actuator HKS one can be beaten, cheap and adjustable :)

boost controller I can't fault the greddy profec B. Cheap and good. I'll post up my latest graph tonight and you can see the boost curve. it boost up hard to 14.5 psi by 3500 rpm and holds perfectly flat to redline.

good work on the 225kw though, it must feel pretty quick now.

Well done, will be interesting to see the result after you get the boost issue sorted. Perhaps you could try to get a actuator a bit closer to your desired boost setting stock is only 5psi, RB20DET one is 10psi, and HKS make an adjutable one 12psi to 1 bar I think but dont quote me on that.

cheers

Yeah thanks; already looking into a HKS one Beer Baron :) and you are correct; feels damn quick in the mid range as it's got 18psi pushing it along - just wish it held boost :)

Munna1; thanks for that information - didn't know that :)

Would be keen to find if its the controller (I too use the Hybrid - holds boost perfect;y up to 12psi so far, lol!), however my money is on your actuator. Id be looking into the HKS adj. actuator from Nengun.

Yeah; bets are being placed on those 2 items; there's nothing else that could be wrong.

We did find that there was a small leak at the air temp sensor used by the F-CON but that equated to 0.01bar at 7,200rpm so we weren't too concerned (still this will be welded up and sealed)

If anyone has any different suggestions/opinions please feel free to shout out!

Stan,

What AFM are you running? you aren't running the stock RB25 AFM still are you? Because i didn't notice a Z32/Q45 AFm on your modlist.

Doesn't the stock RB25 AFM max out around 220-230rwkw mark?

anyways worth a try.

the r34 afm has a bit higher resolution (not sure how).

have seen a few 240rwkw-250rwkw on stock afm still.

and even when it does max, it still works it just runs map sensor style and you get a few less load points

Actually this is a bit easier:

Everything on that list is in there... except the HKS Actuator which I didn't get enough time to order/install.

have you tried borrowing a boost controler like that Ebay one, I know you might say WHAT!!!! but I find they hold boost really well worth a try to see if it stops the spike, otherwise for something this extreeme I would be looking at a external wastegate they are heaps better then internal and can give you better control over boost

be very careful and run unlimited boost on the dyno and see how it alters the results. obviously back off when u see it peak past 1.3 bar or see it lean out.

that will indicate if its the controller and actuator playing funny buggers

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
