i have an HKS 1 bar actuator (came with the turbo)

so the ebc (blitz DSBC spec s) is holding 4psi above that with a 6psi spike

exhaust wise i have a 3" straight through with decat and pathetic muffler that does basically nothing

what boost are you seeing and when?

That's OK, it's your choice after all. You are fully entilted to choose to look uber cool rather than go fast. :)

Heck, take the springs and shocks out all together, whack a bit of 4 x 2 in there instead, you can get it even lower then, no need for suspension travel :bunny:

Just don't brag about how powerfull your car is because it wheelspins all over the place, when the truth is it has no traction because looks are more important to you than going fast. :)

BTW, why have bothered building a big power engine when you can't use it? :)

Hey, it's a free country, other than the taxes, the police, the inspection nazis in SA, speed cameras, toll roads..............maybe it's not all that free when you think about it. :bunny:

lol... traction is not a problem until > 300 so i recon its doing pretty well :P

truth be told i recon its not gonna be a problem with better rubber... atm the car has 235 federal 595ss cheapies on it, so i'm not that concerned... i'll see how i go with adrenalins @ the next tyre change and go from there.... atm i can stand on it in 2nd no worries on pulp, which is my daily fuel.

the suspension in my ke70 would really make you cringe :( but hey, you gotta look good man..... NS.com told me so :P

my standrard actuator that came with the hks 2835 pro wont hold more then .7bar without going nuts....so not too sure there...also having an issue with my hks evc 4....going to go sort that out tomorrow as it wasnt responding to learning mode.

i will see how we go by tomorrow if i make it to the tuners before end of day.

try running without the evc... they are not the easiest things to get setup... although usually its a >20psi issue...

you should be able to see 1 bar nicely.... also try running it with your exhaust dropped and see if that eliminates the prob :huh:

My car is slow by today's stds, sonds fast ad looks gay as its too high. If i deck it down to 325mm it will sound fast, look fast, and still be slow...so i have kind of made progress:)

Be interesting when my car finally sees the road again how much good the E85 does on it with the new manifolds and bogger exhaust housing.

my uber spec rear is set to 340 and looks ok, not as nice as 325 but my tyres last alot longer, 265 toyo t1r's, kaaz 2 way, whiteline camber kit set to max, groupbuy springs and shocks, cant complain, works great!

yeh we fixed the boost controller issue...but now there is another issues...its holding boost just fine til about 250rwkw and then boot drops....so there either must be a restriction and or a very fair sized air leak.

going to asses it tomorrow.

any hints?

Where are you measuring the boost? I always have at least 2 places for measuring boost, one at the compressor outlet and one past the throttle body/ies. That way I can tell if there is any boost drop due to restriction in the inlet ie; the pressure at the compressor outlet exceeeds the pressure at the engine by more than a couple of psi. If they are both the same (the boost drops the same) then there is either an air leak or the turbo has run out of airflow.

NYTSKY,

Is it your boost controller perhaps....the boost curve seems lazy when it comes onto boost as well....only making peak boost at 4900 rpm and immediately starts declining.

ke70! Hamish please throw some pics and specs up... I'm seriously considering one as a bit of a track hack/project

so far the car is running on corona struts with commo springs, xt130 lca's, lock spacers, 15x8 -9 ajps challengers, and flared guards

the car has a flat front conversion, and is getting a spraycan satin black job soon

motor is currnetly a 4ac in an AE71 crossmember, AE71 radiator & thermofan, and webber carby

gearbox is a t50 and the diff is an AE71 item welded shut.

new motor going in is a 4agte (ze block with custom turbo and cooler setup) with toda cams/gears should see around 150-160rwkw and car is getting stripped and caged

car will also be getting swaybars and possibly coiliver conversion....

ecu will be mocrotech... probably

will get pics up at some stage soon

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
