Hey all.

My car (R32gtst) has been blowing some sort of carbon out of the exhaust for a while, i think its oil (when its under boost). After a base map tune, fuel pump and boost controller i am starting to wonder whether it might be the piston rings go?

Also, since installing the fuel pump (bosch 040) and boost controller the revs appear to be surging during idle. Between about 500 and 1200rpm. any ideas what this could be?

Fuel reg is stock.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

hi,,could be the rings but like many turbo cars it is almost normal, or check your intake pipe as well as if it has a like a oil blow back(oil in pipe) it could be a sign of needing a rebuild as my old r32 was..probly no good info for ya but hope it helps

turbo oil seal failure possibly, and have you looked at the auxiliary air control valve in regards to the idling may need to be cleaned?

Forgot to mention it only surges when the engine is warm. The aux air control valve is for when the engines cold isnt it?

First off have a mate follow you and put your boot in it.

Blueish smoke - oil

black - unburnt fuel

Then go from there!

Cause ya don't want to start pulling down the motor or replacing the turbo then realizing it was just running rich on boost, or something =)

I am only new to performance side of things, but i am a apprentice mechanic wanting to fill his brain with all the info he can get.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
