ok iv finished putting in the hiflow turbo, atm until i get the $ for engine management iv put the stock injectors back in and am still running the stock ecu

iv set the boost to 10psi but the car is making very little power

on the dyno before i put the hiflow on it made 225hp atw, now with the hiflow on it made 130hp atw at the most, the afr's are ok and boost stays at 10psi until red line,, there are no boost leaks and everything appears to be hooked up ok, just has half the power

im taking the car back on friday to get a full inspection to find out what the problem is but im just wondering if any one can give me some insight on what the problem may be

iv been told that the stock ecu might have gone into some limp mode but we have tried disconnecting the battery to reset it but its still the same, the guys im taking it to reckon its some sort of timing issue, the CAS hasnt been touched either so its not that lol

any help would be great :domokun:

sam

oh by the way the car is an r33 gtst series 2,

mods,

splitfire coils

slide hilow

split dump/front pipe into 3 inch straight through

hks pod - s/s intake pipe

hks adjustable wastegate actuator with turbosmart manual boost controller

FMIC

BOV

10psi on the high-flow will be FLOWING alot more air than your standard turbo, even with both set to 10psi.

You might be hitting rich-retard but geeze it dropped alot !

I had my HKS turbo with an R32 actuator on 10psi with no boost controller, and i think it might have even been pinging when pushing it so just be carefull

10psi isn't 10psi if you know what i mean.

This might not even be the problem, but i thought i'd throw it out there :)

Rich and retard DOES NOT "richen" the fuel up.

It only retards ignition.

In fact, on my dyno graph with stock ecu, when I hit R&R my AFR leaned off slightly (Headed back to a nice 11.5:1)

Just rips timing back to around 6-8 degrees

car will be going in tomorow morning for a full check etc etc, so hopefully will find out what the problem is

been getting alot of comments saying its putting out so little power is because of my number plates LOL :whistling:

I know you said there are no leaks. But to me it sounds like a leak you must be missing. When the car is on the dyno and the turbo is spooling you wont hear the leak. Wipe all the piping down with a soapy water and double check.

ok there are def no boost leaks, the workshop i took the car to was under pressure to get cars out today and not much happened, we did eliminate things like boost leaks etc,

they have nailed it down to something wrong with the cas and the camshafts, as they were trying to adjust the timing via the crank angle sensor it was apparent that no timing would adjust, no matter what position the cas was in nothing would happen to the timing, unfortunately they ran out of time to go any further and they dont open back up until the 2nd of January :banana: so its a waiting game until then!!!!!

any one had anything like this happen before?

  • 2 weeks later...

ok they have pulled everything apart and from what they can see is that there is like an aluminum plate or something behind the cam gear cover that has cracked or something along those lines so the cas cant do it job properly,

while they were at it i told them to change the timing belt and they said that it has slipped two teeth :yes:

they are also doing a few other bits and pieces while they are there, oil pump water pump etc, so should have the car back next week :D

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
