A mate of mine got a 2540 turbo put on his RB25DET Skyline, but is still using the stock cooler. His car is running excessivly rich, and will start to miss as soon as he comes on boost. Basically the car is undrivable in this condition... it also stalls as soon as he put the clutch all the way in for more than a fwe seconds (eg, coming to a stop).

Could this have something to do the the stock cooler he is still using? the 2540's actuator has a 1 bar base pressure, and the turbo is having trouble making more than 0.5 bar of boost - with heavy missing and backfiring.

OMG !!!

A 2540 at 1 bar with the stock cooler !!

Sorry, just a bit shocked...

It could be a few things.

The stalling thing is usually due to a BOV venting out into the air, does he have one of these?

The misfiring could be something as simple as the spark plugs still having the factory gapping on them. Whip them out and reduce the gap down to 0.8 - 0.7mm.

He should really reduce the boost down to .5 bar until he get's it run up on a dyno and get's a cooler to match the flow of the turbo. But this is a bit hard when you've got a actuator set at 1 bar :P

I presume he is still running the stock ECU? If he is, I dare say the stock ECu is having a heart attack trying to figure out the new turbo.

Yeah he's getting a GTR cooler installed today... so that should flow a lot better. He has a stock ECU which can be remapped... but it hasn't been remapped or anything yet.

Yeah i know about the rev drop with the BOV... but it shouldnt be this bad... it stalls even when you dont go on boost, just when you stop suddenly.

So are you saying that he does have a BOV that vents into the air?

Remember that the 2540 will flow more air, and even when your off boost the wheels are still spinning.

So if the after market BOV is set wrong, you get air comming back out the AFM, or out the BOV which will = stall.

The GTR cooler should be a good match with the 2540.

Let hope he's fuel system will keep up.

HI RHiSC, the standard RB25DET injectors are rated at 370 cc, which is good for close to 400 bhp. You won't get one 2540 anywhere near that power output. Save the money, doesn't need injectors. The R33 GTR intercoolor is good for 300 rwkw, also way beyond the 2540, so OK there. The Bosch 040 fuel pump is good for 235 litres per hour which = around 520 bhp, so it will do the job just fine.

Hope that helps

I dont know anyone in aust who can do this yet..

Macka - I stumbled across this the other day;

Don't know how good, or even how much it is.

I've got a funny feeling that they use a R32 ECU with a PIC chip for the VCT and re-tune it for a R33.

I've got a R32 ECU still sitting here that I might 'one day' get re-tuned for a R33..........

Just a logical thought from a "none expert".

If the engine has 550cc injectors and running the factory ECU, wouldn't the ecu be flooding the engine? As the 550cc inj. can flow more fuel than the 370cc.

For this set-up you must really run an aftermarket ecu as it would operate alot smoother and unlock ALOT more power from the engine.

Just my 2c.

Gday Fellas :D

Jay I had a qhuick squizz it doesnt say much about the r33s in fact half the site was down when i looked?? I had a tip secret tuned rom in mine it consisted of no daughter board but a reprogrammed EEPROM which is electrically eraseable unlike the roms with the windows (uv eraseable) which is what is normally used. So maybe your right

Im with you sydneykid, altho the wolf4d plug and play looks good too :)

If you use bigger squirters your engine will run rich across the board Al yeah..will need a whole retune

Hi KamikazeR33, the standard R33 RB25DET AFM seems to have good enough resolution at 40 lbs of air per minute (enough for 400 bhp), which is more than the 2540 can supply. So I doubt it is an AFM problem, unless it is faulty.

Hope that helps some more

I have install the wolf 3d "plug-in/plug and play" in my car, while running the stock turbo. I felt this was the better order to complete mods with. I notice a big up in performance, especially in the low to mid range.

VERY PLEASED WITH THE ECU :) :uh-huh:

Will PM u about dat wolf big AL :D

Glad to see that my logical thinking was correct. (Glad for myself, but feel sorry for the person in question)

With any mods, you should always sit down and think what your long term goal is, and then persue it, in a researched manner, by setting up all the support systems first.

my 2c worth.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
