i am getting the engine cutting out on me when i am driving....

It does seem that that 4 psi could be right. As it sort of spools up, but doesn't really throw you back in the seat at all....

Theres just a lot of sounds....... spool up noises, which probly exagerates the power its putting down.

i am using the 040 bosch fuel pump, which seems to be doing fine...

dyno might be the best option.

well, it does go.

theres no leaky bov... as i am not running one...

I have no tacho on it, so its hard to estimate revs. But say boost hits at 2800 rpm. I get around 4 psi up to around 4700 rpm. the boost stays there. Then from 4700 rpm it boost to 7 or 8 psi. That would be revving it to say 5500 rpm or so.

But you can notice that the boost gauge needle sits on 4 psi for a long time. More than what i have seen in other peoples r33's.

I rechecked the boost line gauge, and that seems fine.

Only problem i am seeing is that the boost is staying at 4 psi for a fair bit. Theres no fuel pump issues, as the car has a bosch 040.

The timing may be a problem. But i am pretty postive that we have set the timing back....

What is the normal state for the timing to be set at, and how can i tell when setting it. I have the crank angle sensor where the screws are pretty close to being retarded timing.

i do have a simple boost bleed valve, that i could install, but would like to get it running righyt first.

What sort of boost should i be getting and at what rev range.

e.g psi@? revs...

cheers

Stock RB25 skyline boost is 5psi to 5000rpm, then 7 psi to redline. Its 2 stage. If your boost guage is inaccurate (its not an autometer is it? they seem to go out of cal), that would account for the 4 psi instead of 5.

Usually when a cat back is fitted the drop in back pressure gives another couple of pounds boost, but then you get 7psi to 5000rpm and 9 psi to redline.

This is standard without a good EBC or bleeder.

ah, well thanks. I dont like it. 5 psi to 5000 rpm sucks. i dont really like revving the car out to redline. But at least in know nothing is buggered,

I have the stock dump pipe, but everything else 3 inch. Also have front mount intercooler.

I do have a liquid filled autometre boost gauge, and i'd say it goes to around 4 psi then to 8 psi.

So 5 and 9 psi you seem to be correct.

If i was wanting to get the boost to come on earlier would using the bleed valve do this. Where do i set it up from. Never really used one before. DO i t piece the valve just after the actuator hose, and tehn run that up to a plenum nossel....

And having the bleed valve tightened, or loosened has what effect. Upping or lowering the boost.

11 or 12 psi would be what i would run on the standard turbo.

4 seems a bit low if you have 3" back except the dump, but 9 seems about right.

I have never connected up a bleed valve, only an EBC, so sorry I cant help there. Pretty sure that tightening the valve will restrict air, thereby increasing boost, which is what you want as it is boost pressure that opens the wastegate.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
