Hi,

anyone out there running a EBC have problems with power fluctuations on their dyno graph?

This is sorta a continuation from a post i did a few weeks back. Long story short, a no. of ppl mentioned that my power graph(attached) is all over the shop, timing n fuel maps could be out. Ive since spoken to my tuner n he seems to think its becoz im running a EBC. Reason for the unstable power graph is becoz the EBC pulsates alot. To solve it, take it out. Im not too convinced of the explaination given and i dont really want to remove a $460 EBC anyway.

Bass Junky, u posted ur graph the last time, i can see that its way smoother than mine is, wot sorta boost ctrl were u running at the time?

My mods - Power FC with boost ctrl kit, turbobak with split dump, FMIC, pod, BOV.

Cheers.

I have the same prob in my rb25.

It has a HKS EBC on 12.5psi it spiked to 14psi on a warm day on the dyno. T

This effected how much power I mad; as it spiked to 14 it made 211.2rwkw and then drops back to 12.5 to make aroung 205rwkw. However, other than that I had a healthy fuel and power curve.

It will spike more when the air temp is cold as colder air is more dense that hot air; thus give your engine some extra power and a little more stock boost.

Doesn't really seam to be the cause of your problems though. It most likely comes down to tunning errors.

check for exhaust restrictions, once the gate opens it should be stable

so its probably not the controllers fault, the tuner could do some testing to test and prove that theory, other than "its the controllers fault".

try a run with the exhaust dropped off so its just dump then to atmo

see if spikes then, it may reveal a different story as there is no backpressure restriction

Nabil, my tune was done on a warm day.

Paul, im pretty sure there are no restrictions on the exhaust, whole system is practically new, catback i have is a Blitz NUR Spec, one of the highest flowing catbacks on the market, when u look down the pipes, u can see straight thru to the other end. Cat is a Catco large body from BATMBL, split dump also from BATMBL.

I'll be seeing my tuner next week but i just wanted a 2nd opinion on the problem.

Cheers.

When people say spiking, they mean that it ramps up to say 14psi and then backs off to 12.

Your tuner seems to be implying that the boost is Fluctuating.

Different things....

My mistake... i exagerated it by saying spiking, fluctuations would be the more precise term. Either case, i havent heard of anyone else having this problem caused by an EBC. One would think that incorrect timing n fuel maps would be the more likely caus of it. Anyone else agree?

Ask your tuner for a graph of Power Vs Boost.

This will be a very good indication of how the boost is performing.

Thanks for the pm's Bass. Somehow i still didnt receive the timing maps u were trying to send me, maybe there was a problem with the upload?? Anyway, appreciate the help. Perhaps email it to me. I'll pm u my email.

Cheers.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
