Something Weird Happening With The New Turbo..seems Like Its Stalling?!?

Hey guys, as some of you may know, not long ago I needed some help about driving my car untuned with a new turbo, injectors, afm and fuel pump, before I was going to get a tune.

I put in the turbo so far, getting a fuel pump this week and then put the rest in over the weekend or so....

but something a little strange seems to be happening to my car at the moment, with just the new turbo in...

The car is running brilliantly at the moment... even though its untuned I can tell there is alot more power... the only concern I have is that after I hit boost ( which comes on really fast and really quick - (2,600 - 3,000 ) and let off the accelerator and go into neutral... ie rolling to the red lights... the revs drop as normal...... but they go too low... they may drop bellow 400rpm or 100rpm and the car may even stall on itself... this only happens in neutral when revs are free... not when I am rolling to the lights in a gear after hitting boost and the revs are a much slower controlled drop.

These are my assumptions: (tell me if you have any other ideas what it could be)

1. Crappy tune- especially not for this turbo and the rest of the stuff I am going to put on (but we already knew this)

2. Standard Blow off valve not doing its job correctly any more because of bigger turbo (only running about 11psi though) and some of the air it lets back into the turbo and the other goes back the other way making the cho cho cho sound and goes out through the pod making the afm read negative numbers so it drops the rpm and retards timing,etc... so it almost stalls...

3. Timing belt/actuator i don't know??!? timing belt was changed about 40,000 kms ago....

so to help this I have heard I should relocate the afm meter to around the throttle body area and/or get a new BOV but I want something legal.... so maybe like a GTR one.... but I still don't know...

Thanks for the help in advance.

Adam.

Firstly why the hell are you boosting the car with A)A bigger turbo B)Standard fuel pump and injectors? :banana:

Your AFM will be the blame for the fluctuating revs due to the increased airflow,and going a bit crazy as its not tuned for it.

Gives a totally new meaning to fixing something that aint broke... She is broke because its untuned.

Get it tuned. Fix the problems after its tuned, if there are any!

lol... that was the first question I knew I was going to get .... just wanted to wait and see who was going to say it ! but to answer your question... it is very hard not to.... considering how quick the boost comes on... and how low it does.... I also forgot to mention I have a powerfc... but with a crappy tune.. I am not running on a stock ecu.... and thank you for confirming what I thought about the afm...but is it anything to do with the bov because it is making the woosh sound as well as the cho cho cho( so I thought some air is going around and some is coming back out the pod)

so if it is the afm... when I chuck in the z32 that I have... do I relocate it or will it do better once tuned in the same spot? I would like to keep it where it currently is...

You wont know it was running lean untill you blow it up. pull it appart and think... "maybe i should have waited to tune it before boosting it"

If your that short scrapped for cash PM me maybe i can do you a credit tune

Its simple dude,dont boost the car at all until you get the other mods done.Especially the tune.

But you will only be getting it tuned when you get all the other mods done.Reason being is the car wont run with bigger injectors,plus you will need to change the AFM settings on the PFC once the Z32 is wired in.

If you can hear flutter (cho cho cho sound) the air is bouncing out of the turbo back towards the AFM, AFM tells the ECU to add more fuel, ECU adds more fuel, not enough air, car stalls.

As stated above a tune *should* fix it. But i have no experience with hypergear turbos they may suffer compressor suge, either way see how you go.

ok, thats interesting... I don't know about the compression surge your talking about but yeh, I was hoping a tune would help the afm issue... I believe I am getting boost spikes as well..but I havent put my foot down enough to know for sure, but is that a symptom of the surge as well?

thanks,

Adam

Thanks Tao :D I have been really happy with it so far... just need to get a few little bits sorted...and the tune. oh and btw, I got my brakes sorted... used a brand of pads called qfc...I dunno much about them.. but they fixed the squeal! :thumbsup:

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
