Hi all

Well tonight my bro was driving and being stupida as we all do, late at night, nice and cold outside, and my car went all the way to 14psi after the FMIC, so propably 16psi on the turbo side.

I have a FMIC and turbo back exhaust, SAFC II tuned and HKS pod, ect ect, stock boost controller, and the boost went up top 14 psi. I am looking at a GIZZMO IBC but this is weird. The highest i ever saw it before was 12psi, but normally lucky to see 10psi.

What the hell is goign on and how do i fix it untill the GIZZMo is in????

And befor i get flamed, it was on a dual higway with just us two and NOOOOOO cars, and it was my brother.

So you're seeing 14 instead of 12psi? Easy answer could simply be that at night you're seeing boost spiking abit higher due to the colder denser air. I see my boost jump up to 9-10psi at night from the 8psi I see during the day on my ProfecB2.

Off topic, I remember you writing a thread about the SAFC. Have you been able to rid the notoriouse R&R using the SAFC?

Well it sure scared the hell out of me. But yeah i am sure it had to do with teh cold night and denser air. Can't wait for an EBC to fix things.

As for the R&R, yess i managed to get rid of most of the issues, we bumped teh fuel pressure up, only 3 psi and then tuned down the SAFC to the point where the R&R disapeared, but the stock computer not taking timming out.

It took some time, and there is still a little flat spot, but not as obvious as it was.

Having done all this i just purchased a mines ECU, so we see how that goes.

perhaps your exhaust is the problem, if it is free flowing enough air will go through the turbo still when the wastegate is open. air goes the easiest way...is that a tiny wastegate hole or the already spinning turbo with nothing behind it?

can someone please lend a knowing ear?

you can't get much more free flowing them mine, 3" dump, no cat, and an oval 3" muffler with 4" tip. it's free alright. LOL

I think it's the stock boost controller not working with so many modifications.

Shut up and grow some balls.

Big deal, my brother was driving wayyy over the limit, not like you haven't done it. So give up. I try not to do it, my brother was driving as it was his first drive ever in my car.

RELAX. it was very late, no cars on the stretch of highway we were on, and even if there was, centre divide so I couldn't hit them anyway. I am getting sick and tired of people thinking that if you speed, you are dead. I have been racing on tracks since I was 13, have had accidents and learned, never do anything stupid on the real roads, and if you look at my driving record, it's %100 clean, and I have been driving for 8 years.

SO lay off grow some balls and stop pretending that you leave in a society where people are perfect, your not and neither is anyone else.

THE END.

So before you call people a moron, GET YOUR FACTS STREIGHT. just cos your the MOD, don't mean stuff to me.

I think it was more they dont want to be seen promoting speeding as this is a public forum. Talking about drifting/speeding/doing burnouts in public areas you will find is a no no on these forums. Would you really want to see a newspaper article laying shit on 'hoons' and a big screenshot of these forums with people bragging about what they have done?

    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
