Slow To Build Boost

OK. Ever since I have had my GTR it has been slow to build boost and it also has a misfire both hot and cold and not isolated to idling.

Background info.

RB26 with consistent compression across all cylinders. HKS 2530's, 550cc injectors, aftermarket fuel pump, Z32 AFM's, Apexi PFC, pods, HKS exhaust (no dump pipes), HKS EVC.

I recently replaced the standard AFM's and reprogrammed ECU with the Z32 AFM's and PowerFC which made no difference. I have also cleaned the coilpacks and replaced the sparkplugs which made little difference as well.

Symptoms.

Positive boost reading starts just at about 2100rpm's and then climbs at a linear rate until it peaks at 1bar just under 5000rpms. Ideally I would like the boost to come on stronger down lower so that I don't have to flog the engine to get responsiveness.

Some forum articles suggest that gutting the Cat (if it has one) can help the boost build more quickly. I have also heard that cleaning the inlet manifold can help too.

I am at a lose and am really wanting to sought this stuff out. Any help would be hugely appreciated guys.

Cheers.

i'd say dumps too.. running bigger turbos on stock dump pipes is going to severly limit your boost building.

on the down side i dont think that would be causing the misfire.. double check coilpacks if uve replaced spark plugs.. maybe spitfires are in order ?

Hi

I have the same problem in my r32 gtr with r34 N1's (the .6 series turbo's) it start's making boost early, bout 2300rpm but it builds boost very slowly after that. i have a metal cat and standard dumps with a full 3" zorst behind that with all the supporting mods.

i am really looking at fixing this problems so if any one has any ideas please let me know

Cheers

I haven't found the cause yet but have some possible ways to minimize the problem:

1. Install dump pipes

2. Install CAM gears

3. Possible exhaust gasket leak.

My thoughts are that the first two would only mask the problem and they are quite pricey. I am not convinced about the third one as surely there would be excess exhaust noise from the engine bay.

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
