Weird R32gtr/dyno Problem

So i took my r32gtr down today to get a power fc and boost controller installed and tuned. Mods are full exhaust, hks intakes, splitfire coil packs, adj cam gears and thats pretty much it. Now the power/power fc boost controller is installed and the car is put up ontop the dyno. The cars put into gear and the clutch is let out and the car stars to accelerate but rear wheels are being help back by something so the torque is sent thru to the front wheels while the back wheels are being help back, almost as if the rear brakes are being applied.

So what they did was stop the car and run it in RWD mode by flicking the switch i have rigged up to the fuse under the dash. The car does the same thing but now without transferring any torque to the front wheels as the switch is flicked over 2 RWD mode. So its as if the brakes are being applied when any speed is gained.

Next what they did was replace the stock ecu which also had the same result in both RWD and 4WD modes.

So they decided to take the car for a spin around the block to see if the same thing happens. The result was the car driving perfectly fine in 4wd mode (Torque was being applied to the front as usual) and also in RWD mode(No front torque transferred).

Now heres the weird part. When the brakes on the dyno are turned off(load is applied to the rollers by a brake to measure the power output of the car like you all know a dyno does) the car drives fine and can accelerate normally.

So just in summary the problem is I cant get the power FC tuned because the rear wheels are being help back by something when you try to accelerate on the dyno in both RWD and 4WD modes. When the car is put back on the road it drives normally in both RWD and 4WD modes with both ecu's in.

Could it possibly be a fault in the dyno brakes? I cant think of anything else that it might be.

The workshop owner has never seen anything like this he said and neither have I ? Any help or idea's would be great.

I'm not 100% of your issue. But keep in mind when you go to 2WD, you generally pull a relay which controls both ATTESSA and ABS. If you have hooked up your switch incorrectly, then its turning ATTESSA off only.... resulting in the ABS kicking in when the rear turn and the front don't...

Could this be your issue? :D:blink:

As a test, switch to 2WD and then on the street, induce some wheelspin. If the ABS kicks in, my suggesiton is correct.

thanks for the replys. Im pretty sure its hooked up right as when i switch to 2wd mode and induce some wheelspin on the street the abs doesnt kick in. I have one of those garage switches off the forums here. Also the anti-lock light comes on with the 4wd light when the switch is flicked.

The guy said other cars are on the dyno are fine. But he did just give me a call and said he talked to his friend who had the same problem and he did reset something. So im taking it down now and ill see how i go.

cheers

All was sorted. He reset something on the dyno, I'm not sure what it was and then it worked fine after that :(

I managed 244 kw at 1 bar. Car is stock apart from full exhaust, hks intakes, splitfire coil packs, adj cam gears and an exedy clutch. I'm pretty happy with the result. I'm also hitting Calder park this Friday to see what 1/4 mile time i can get. I'll try and post the dyno sheet up to see what you guys think about the graph. Cheers

your killin me lol i got similar mods and only made 200 awkw and 625 nm of torque. how much torque u make?? and can anyone tell my why i only made 200?? car is in awesome condition and running high boost of 1 bar

that's unpossible. :P ABS releases brake pressure when you lock wheels under braking. it doesn't apply the brakes all by itself.

also, the cabin fuse is the ABS sensor fuse so it cannot just disable ABS, or just ATTESA. there is a fuse in the engine bay that can independently disable ATTESA but leave ABS alone but most people are too lazy to go for that one and just use the cabin one.

anyway, problems solved - faulty dyno. :rofl:

Mate if your bloke doesnt know how to setup his dyno I wouldnt let him any where near a PFC.

PFC isnt just plug and play you really need to know what your doing. A PFC can be the best modd to blow up your motor the quickest, youl need "help back" to another workshop.

can i ask where you took it to?

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. He tunes cars all around the world i was told by some other people. And the car is running perfect atm so im very happy with the work. His name is Ray and the shop is now called ART in heidelberg.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
