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

    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
