Me :D

Driving up to the Terrigal going up the Mooney Mooney Bridge and then a little pop then no boost. Hooray no turbo.

I've always said the exhaust needs to be a bit louder and today I got my wish.

For all you people who are running R33/34 turbo's dont run more than 11psi cause that was all that was needed to knock the bastard off.

Alright time for suggestions. My budget is around the $1200 mark.

And I think it was more the kms on the turbo, and not the boost level that caused the exhaust wheel to come off. I ran 1 bar on my R33 GTS-t turbo for more than a year with no problems.

As for a blower, where would you fit it?

That was me, the VG30 is sold. It should put out 15kw or so more than the rb25 turbo. I am having my turbo rebuilt at the mo. It already had a compressor that was slightly bigger than the VG30 and a rb25 turbine and housing, it already made 225rwkw. I am having it rebuilt with a VG30 turbine and housing. I am chasing slightly better top end.

damn...

not good to hear, and at only 11, well at least you got 20K out of it

im still going to keep using my 11 low and 13 high boost settings

(r34 turbo) :uh-huh: , cause im really not impressed with it until after 10psi (how quickly mods feel slow after you get use to them!)

i'll start my hks2530 turbo fund now :D

Well, to my amazement I decided to have a little sniff around the turbo last week and after taking off the heat sheilds discovered that the bloody wastegate control arm detached itself from the wastegate flap. Phew saved me a few hunge and alot of buggerising around.

Only problem now is that the gasket between the turbo and manifold is busted. If its not one thing its another!!!!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
