Boost Control Issues

hey

cars been on the dyno yesterday and today. all was going well until he decided to put more boost in it. he cant seem to control the boost with the ebc. he said there is just too much air running through at the same time. the most boost he can get out of it is a quick spike to 8psi when using the actuator. he reckons that with a bleed valve it would do the same thing again due to the larger capacity of the engine. it will hold a consistant 5psi.

has any one else had this issue?

is there away to overcome this?

he has tuned it plenty rich enough for me to take it to about 15psi/280hp so i can try and get my ebc to work

could i try adapting a stiffer actuator onto it or what? i think the problem is the actuator is just too soft and no matter how much control the ebc has the actuator is still going to open

the engine is an rb25 with a hypegear tr43 turbo and a gizzmo ibc

sounds like a lazy actuator that is staying open, if you bypass the boost controller and just run the car off the actuator is the turbo really slow to spool up?

yeh it is. but its not to bad. i didnt get a printout of the dyno sheet cause im going back next week when its sorted.

the tuner also told me that i may need to put restrictors in my vac lines to the solenoid and after the solenoid as theres too much pressure for the ebc to deal with. he said it may fix it but wouldnt be ideal.

Is the cat ok?

there is a distinct lack of cat;)

i have a 3" decat pipe. the exhaust is a 3" straight through to 4" pipe as the tip

i took the hose off the actuator and ran it like that to see if it built boost with no source for the actuator to operate and it did fine. iv moved my ebc solenoid much closer to the turbo now and will try it later today and then if it doesnt work ill try put some restrictors in the ebc lines and also try a bleed valve

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - there is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.

      no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
