Depending on what rpm you are changing gears at, it could be falling below the boost threashold, which would explain slow boost build. Also running an atmo bov will still effect the running, as it still has an AFM, which will result in super rich a/f ratios, whilst maintaining fairly high ignition values. Neither of these are good for maintaining turbo shaft speed.

A tuning trick which works surprisingly well, is to tune the cells where it hits on gearchange to run 5 deg BTDC running 12:1 AFR, this give a poor mans anti lag. Just make sure it isnt the same cell where you cruise on the freeway.

just to touch up on that subject, would it make a r34gtt auto yes auto, if i was to change the standard bov for an aftermarket one, can i make the boost come back quicker. She s a bit slow once i shift the ttronic to a higher gear ?

does anyone here use antilag? I just got a PFC Pro version which has that feature will be interesting to play with, will it drop at all between gears?

The PFC Pro version has 'launch control'. It only works when your speed is 0kmph. You set the RPM that you want it to work at say 4000rpm. If you put your foot flat to the floor then it will sit a 4000rpm like a rev limiter. It just retards/cuts ignition and therefore the air-fuel mixture ends up igniting in the manifold/turbo which spins it up. I don't really use it as I don't want to kill my standard turbo.. yet.

The Pro version also uses ignition cut at redline instead of fuel cut like standard ones.

when you change gears you have to take your foot off the throttle, you lose all of the pressure(boost) inbetween the compressor side of your turbo to your intake manifold. when you put the throttle on after the gear change, your pressure(boost) has to build up again. The bigger the turbo, the more time it takes to build up that pressure again...

...your dont "have" to take your foot off the throttle....

like joeyjoejoe said, flatshift the bastard haha!

But seriously, its what a turbo car does, you dont make boost when your not on the throttle.

Change gears at higher rpm, double clutching and doing faster changes might minimise the effect, but its not exactly gentle on the car.

Nothing much you can really do to keep the turbo making boost while the throttle is closed.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.

      Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.

      Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...

      By Chi-Town · Posted

      The factory oil pressure sender is no longer in the car that's what is confusing me. In the Taarks adapter I have an aftermarket Bosch style pressure/temp sender and the factory temp sender only. Oil pressure is perfect. Where does the factory oil temp sender go to if there were never any gauges? Why was it there from the factory?
