Hey im looking for some advice

Last night i installed a HKS2530 with 3" dump on my R32.

The turbo works a treat it pulls so much harder than the standard but i find at around 6,000rpm the engine cuts out completely.

it really freaked me out. I am running the same boost as i was with the std turbo (1bar).

So i decided to remove the bleed valve completely. it doesnt stall anymore at high rpm, but i do find the boost tends to creep above the 0.7bar... somtimes almost to 1bar.

*note: i am running a completely std computer.

so i have a few questions:

1: would the cut out be a fuel cut or something else?

2: is boost creep normal? it never happened with the std turbo.

3: even if i run standard boost is it possible for the car to run lean? does more dense air need more fuel?

any advice/info would be great!

thanks

Ben.

im not very up to date with skyline ecu's etc , but with ur new turbo , it may reach the same psi , say 14 , as ur other one did , but the volume of air being pushed in will be far greater , due to the larger comp wheel etc etc etc.

therefore too much air , not enuf fuel , the computer might know to shut itself down before something bad happens , like i said i dont know much about skyline equipment so i am probably off track

yeah when it cuts out i mean it completely cuts out. like under full load its pulling really hard then all of a sudden nothing... as if i took my foot off the accelerator. it doesnt "die out" as such, it just cuts out very suddenly.

Sound more like fuel cut from overboost. You are probably not running the same boost after fitting a dump pipe. ie. Less back pressure=higher exhaust speed=more boost.

The solution is to lower boost until it doesn't happen, OR get a fuel cut defender combined with refueller (AFC or piggy back) to make sure you are not leaning out up top. Maybe the TSI which does both.

OVL-747... i have heard this before but get confused. i always though 14psi would be 14psi regardless of the type of turbo as pressure is pressure ie psi = pounds per square inch so regardless of what is producing that pressure it is infact the same pressure (does this make sense?)

however i do understand a bigger turbo will produce that equal pressure but the air will be much cooler. and cooler air is more dense...

so when ppl tell me that my turbo is producing the same pressure but pushing more air is that what they mean?

yes 14psi is 14psi , but there is a greater volume of air being pushed in , still at 14psi though.

its very similar to an oil pump , take and rb30 and an rb30t pump , they both have the same oil pressure , but as the turbo pump is bigger it flows that wee bit more oil , needed for turbo etc but still at the same pressure

yes - thats why it is extremely common to "hiflo" a turbo , basically , the larger wheels can push a larger volume of air , but it still enters at 14psi.

the more air (mixed with proper fuel setup of course) means greater combustion = more power.

but in ur case id say the computer may be sensing too much air , not enuf fuel so it cuts out intermittently.

Bbenny, I seem to be experiencing the same problem, just put in my 2535 and it does something very similar at about 1 bar it reaches full boost at ~3500rpm and then seems to bog down till it reaches ~6000rpm and then goes hard till rev limiter.

I can hear the turbo working hard but it doesnt seem to pull as hard as it should.

I boosted to 1.4 bar and when it reached ~4500 it fully cut out like when you hit speed limiter, so im tending to think it would have to be not enough fuel going in....

Might get it Dyno tuned and see how it goes maybe then get a bigger fuel pump...

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
