New Gtss Turbos Pulsing And Car Stalling When Slowing Down

Hi All,

I've just had new HKS GTSS turbos fitted to my 1989 R32 GTR and when I hold a constant speed at either around 60, 80 or 100 kmph I get air pulsing from the turbos and AFMs (I think). The sound comes from the front left hand side of the engine bay and only comes on with light but steady throttle application. It sounds like an old steam train engine - chushh, chushh, chushh etc.

The current setup is:

HKS GTSS turbos

HKS dumps

Apexi 125mm FMIC

Apexi front pipes

3" Turbo back exhaust

Aftermarket coils

Aftermarket ECU

HKS EVC set at 12psi & 15 psi

Platnium spark plugs

Standard AFMs

Standard injectors

Standard engine

Blitz BOVs

The car made ~235rwkW @ 12psi and 272rwkW @ 15psi (it also made 292rwkW @ 17psi but I asked them to keep it below 280rwkW).

It also stalls when I slow down after getting the revs above 5000rpm. The revs drop below 500rpm and I have to heel-toe to keep the car from stalling. The workshop has adjusted the Blitz BOVs and this seems to have improved the problem but it still happens. Lastly when the workshop fitted the turbos they didn't use the black hose that comes with the GTSS turbo kit. What is that for?

i would say it's mostly tuning. could be the bovs, but then again I've been running twin blitz bovs for nearly 3 years and never had any problems or stalling, or unstable idle etc. so they can be made to work properly.

I've had a similar problem with the GT-SS on my gtr. Turned out that the actuators on each turbo were not opening at the same time causing them to fight against each other. It was only evident when just coming onto boost at lightish throttle.

Put the stock BOVs back on there, it improved as you said when they fiddled with the blitz...

So go back to OEM, its the best item on the market anyhow

The Blitz BOVs were on the car when I bought it. I don't have the standard ones to put back on.

What did you (or the workshop) do to fix the problem?

The rods have to be adjusted so the wastegate opens at the same pressure. It's on off the car job. They should have been setup, or at least checked, before they were put on. That's about the limit of my knowledge.

I'm not saying 100% that this is what's happening on yours. Can you get back to the tuner and get them to see find anything? If it's only just happened after you've had the gtss installed might be something simple. Hose left loose or a leak somewhere.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
