once i sort out power steering i will reconnect that stupid BOV.

I thought seeing as the rb30's had no bov that i would be alright.

they dont seem to cut out.

It normally happens after the car is warm. And doesn't always happen when i build up some boost. Further investigation be will be done, once timing is set right, and i have some temperature readings, and thermos hooked up.

well i am getting it tuned within the next couple of weeks i have decied.

so i am contemplating just pikcing up a second hand safc as the amount of black shit covering the car is definatley caused by it running to rich.....

I put spacers between the crank anlge sensor (as i dont have a cover on.... bonnet reasons), and it seems to have helped, this and the fittment of constant thermo fans also.

I am flushing the radiator and the engine oil out now aswell, so if all goes to plan hopefully no probs from here on in.

Also have found that there has been some sprayed coolant at the back of the motor, whether this is the heater hoses or the head i dont know..... too hard to tell. but ehater hoses are all clamped really tight...

i let you know my dyno result also... hoping for anything above 160 rwkw....

Bit of advice for you:

Get it running right first with what you have. By putting an aftermarket ECU or piggyback controller, you are merely masking up any original problems you have.

The reason its stalling and running rich is there is no BOV. Put the factory recirculating one or any non-rice recirculating one (if you plan on running more than 12-14psi) and you'll see your car will stop spewing out unburnt petrol onto your bumper. Its not a blown HG or anything else serious. At worst there are a few vacuum hoses that may be leaky.

Using the stock turbo, putting it to 11-13 PSI will result in 160rwkw with your setup. It will reduce the life of the turbo though, its unknown how much by though, may be a week, may be 5 years. Expect 140+rwkw as it is.

well i am going to see the fabrication magician tommorow. will have a chat to him about wacking it back on...

the continuos fluttering through the cooler piping, and from the turbine wheel chopping up the air is getting pretty annoying... Especially when your not actually getting pulled back in your seat.

catcha.

p.s

theres a guy in ringwood that we might be able to check the speedo singals off. Picking up a power steering line fitting next weekend hopefully.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
