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?

interesting..when u installed boost controller you made sure it is not leaking? could possbily be a dirty afm (common problem) try contact cleaner on it! possibly piston rings (hope not for you) regards hame

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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
