Yesterday spent another few hours on the dyno,

attached are the sheets, dynos.pdf

the power has increased by 50 rwhp. Still have poncam gears set on 0,0, so next time, the hours will be spent dialing in the cams which should net some quicker response and maybe higher end

As you can see, I am still having a few boost control issues with my EVC6 in that it holds approx 18 pound for about 1000 rpm and then tapers off slowly no matter what we do.

If you have a look at my run-in tune graph, almost exact same spot in the revs we had the same issue Dyno1.pdf IGNORE THE EXTENDED HAND DRAWN TOP BOOST LINE, I DREW THAT IN TRYING TO ASK THE TUNER WHY IT WILL NOT STAY THERE, the true top boost line holds and then dips at at just before the 152km mark drops off

Also what is interesting is that setting a, is set at 14.3, boost will hit about 14.7 and hold steady on the road.

Setting b is set at 17 psi and will hit and hold at about 18.9psi on the road, so something is clearly amiss but not sure what, any ideas?

I think I will swap out for a pneumatic controller to see if we can get some consistent control to see if it is the EVC6 or something else but would love to hear from anyone else that may have had the same issues.

R31Nismoid, I owe you a huge apology, currently on 321RWKW on a very safe tune and only a smidge over 15 psi at the power mark with cams not dialed in yet so your ongoing advice of 300 to 330rwkw from GTSS's is spot on and I think once I resolve my boost issues (ie get it to hold a constant 17/18psi) and have the cams dialed in, I will be able to safely acheive at least the 330rwkws.

I tell you what though, the extra 50rwhp makes a HUGEEEEE difference

for what it is worth, I have the same problem with the HKS EVC 6. I lose ~2.5psi and not just at the end, it is a gradual decay.

Have you tried one of the FUN modes - the one where you can set boost map vs RPM?

hey mate, Ant Scali of X-speed (licensed HKS tuner/dealer) is tuning it, so i would expect him to have done all he can to sort it. Next time it goes in (read I have some more cash) he will plumb in a t-piece to see if that holds boost and if it is, we will do a full check on their install of the controller and if all ok, look to replace the unit on warranty

Congrats on the extra power, and good show manning up with the news etc - it all helps clear things up and make them more useful for future. Might be worth bumping the thread the discussion was had in and clarifying that for people using the search function in future :wacko:

Ash when are you hitting full boost?

Simon that looks real laggy full boost by 4600 is that normal? What are the twin gtss supposed to do? What actuator you got on there?

Power looks nice, better update you power register in the wa section, your definetly up there now.

Patty,

Yeah it may be alittle late but the cams are set on 0,0 so once they are dialed in it will bring that back probably closer to the 4,000 rpm mark and then it will be super responsive.

Ant reckons it is making the power very easy and that 431rwhp is only at 15 psi too given tapering off of boost issue.

Once we get that sorted and can run a solid 17/18 psi through, we should see a comfortable 450rwhp and that will be where I stop to keep it safe on the bottom end. Ill have to go back to plex next week to see if I can crack into the 11's, If i cant then I may hang up the keys hehe.

I have the heavy duty HKS actuators that came with the GTSS kit

That dyno graph is eerily reminiscent of mine. Just that I used a -5 Garrett & a different tuner. The numbers are within a few rwhp all the way up the graph.

A couple of things:

1> Why do you want to get rid of the extra boost about 5000rpm?

2> I recently checked the voltage from my Z32 AFM's from the Power FC using the peak/hold function. Spat out a few milli volts below 4.0Volts for a supposed 435 rwhp. I would be curious to see what number your give (If you have AFM's that is). I cross checked it with the Nismo AFM cruve to use the mass flow & hence calculate the engine output. Worked out spot on.

djr81,

we have no idea why the extra boost is disappearing at about 5,000 kms odd, it seems to a boost controller issue that we cannot fix at the moment so looks like I am going to have it replaced on warranty to see if it really is the problem.

I do not have AFM's mate, as X-speed recommended D'jetro.

Had dramas with the earlier units, one thing you can try is to put a restrictor into the signal supply line to the solonoid/actuators. It may be a case where the solonoid cannot purge off enough signal to allow the actuator to remain a little more closed (higher boost).

D-Jetro? Is it strictly a track car? For 330kw? Even stock afms would cope with that.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
