Hey...

my car is nearly getting there.. after finding a VAC leak and replace 02 sensor and new fuel filter n pump.

it goes surggey,!!!

i've got some atmo BOV, and a GFB manual boost controller and a HKS Pod.

any ideas? i aint got much left to replace and rather spend it on BLING BLING then crap parts that dont fix it!!!

atm its running 13PSI

600 x 400 x 75 FMIC...

S/S 3" 1/2 inch turbo back WITH 7 " n 1/2 turbo box...

Forged pistons/rings/pins/shells/graphite gaskets etc...

cleaned/flowed/ported head with new stemseals/core plugs etc...

Stock ECU...

New Platium NGK Plugs 'yes pre gapped as per manual'...

GFB Manul boost controller...

HKS Replica SSQ BOV...

HKS Pod Filter...

Twin Plate Clutch...

HSD Coilovers

Yep thats it...

but i think maybe CAS... or BOV

any ideas please help... its lame, drives hell hard other wise

=S

haha thanks lighty01... well could be, its hanging there LOL... maybe i should invest in a electric one?!

um i recently topped my batterie up with some distilled water, and put my stock BOV back on.

Doesnt have as much power... cause the stock BOv its leaking of the extra boost?

and also i got no 'PSTTT' noise going through the pod no more!? i use to ages ago....

any reasons why its not? i heard its called blowback... and its not good... correct?

well my problem i found that an intercooler pipe was blowen off... and leaking off boost... causing my other problem, along with a el cheapo BOV adaptor isn't 100% flat =/ i think thats it... not sure?!

else i might look at AFM or CAS timing...

if your loosing boost, check all your vacuum lines, cooler pipes and the BOV, if its a HKS replica its obviously cheap shit and quite possibly leaking boost.

get rid of the GFB boost controller and hook up your standard solenoid (if you have one) that should run 7psi on highboost and if it doesnt piss around and carry on then you know the valve is bollocksed (which wouldnt be hard do believe)

also, remember the standard ECU has a boost cut, if your running a squillion pounds on your standard tune the engine WILL stop it from boosting, mainly to protect the engine. ALSO! you have a standard AFR.

so your fuel/air ratios are not tuned and the more boost you run with a standard setting the more its not going to like it.

basically it could be anything. just have a look at all that.

but the factory BOV leaks of excess boost though!

my AFR are 11:## @ 13PSI, and yea it was at 1 BAR but i lowered it on the dyno lol to get higher HP.

and yes its a series 2 turbo

i am pretty sure thats save enough @ 11 ish air / fuel ratio!!

wether your turbo is safe at 13psi and 11.0:1 A:F ratio has nothing to do with the stock ECU going spastic due to AIR FLOW at that sort of boost at those revs.

just have a look at the thread titled "quiet screamer pipe".

the started "RB2530" has a few things to say about stock ecu and AFM cut etc.

Page 3 I think..

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
