Boost and flutter issue?

K, i just fitte dmy new T3/4 turbo to my R33, and i must say it was extremely impressive. However it seems to be that no matter what i am running aorund the 13psi mark... is that because it has a 13psi actuator spring maybe? Cos i have a turbosmart boost controller and it still seems to run that same boost level no matter what. The thing that is different on this turbo to the stock R33 one is that the line from the wastegate actuator connects onto the compressor housing and the boost controller t-pieces out of this, with the stock turbo the wastegate actuator line runs to the intake piping via the standard boost controller. Is it becuase i am by-passing the factory boost controller that it is no longer limited regardless of the turbosmart bc i have? Cos i really want to turn it down a notch to around 10psi if i can but not sure how to run it back through the stock bc.

Also it seems that i have rediculous flutter lol it is very loud and goes for ages, i'm talken like 15 secs if i hold it there under load when i back off. Is this okay? It seems to be the BOV aswell fluttering and doesn't really sound like its all compressor surge. What could it be causing this flutter ot be so big and will it cause damage?

Any help will be great.

your new turbo may have a 13psi actuator fitted to it, this can be varified by running a hose from the actuator to the comp housing on the turbo but first remove your turbosmart boost controller. If the boost is steady on 13psi your turbo has a 13psi actuator. If this is the case re-connecting the factory boost control will not lower the boost level. It is quite safe to run 13psi through these engines as they run extremely rich with the stock ecu (so rich that it can cause the engine to loose power at high boost levels)

cheers

Thnx heaps dude, that is how i got it running at the moment, i have the hose running from actuator to the comp housing and the boost controller t-pieces out of that line, so i might just remove it and run it at 13psi i think. Only thing is it runs a lot smoother with the boost controller than without, doesn't seem to be jerky boost so i might leave it on for that reason.

So 'mort' you think my O2 sensor could be shyte? That'd explain the dodgy reading on my autometer air/fuel gauge aswell... very unstable reading on that... cos i get around 350-360 a tank and that was before the new turbo, it seems to use slightly less now aswell weirdly? Not sure, but yeah.

      I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
