cant be intake restrictions, 4" intake with K&N pod, 3" custom IC piping....motor was running standard turbo before and was pretty stock..

The car feels good, it has brand new 255 federals on the back and it breaks traction when it hits boost in second, used to do it in 3rd with the old tyres..

Heaps weird...

What ecu? No changes with fueling and timing makes you wonder if the changes are being written to the ecu.

Nistune was playing up like this on the Stagea last year with this sort of issue.

power fc... the changes were definitely writing because the wideband was registering the changes and the timing eventually caused the knock levels to increase slightly as well...

Hypergear turbos love restrictions :laugh:

I feel your pain though. Car has been sitting in the shed for a couple of months now, thinking about what it's done :glare:

Has it learnt its lesson yet?

Apparently not, it hasn't fixed itself yet. Now it's throwing a tantrum with the drivers seat, so it's in the naughty corner until I get back from Europe.

we both had no idea.... the car wasnt responding to anything... threw more timing= same power, richer=same power, leaner=same power wtf?

That means turbo's pushing some thing's limit which power band does not responds to the tune. I think its in the exhaust or some where, try drop it and see if any thing changes. Was it a plumb back external gate?

Normally cooler restrictions would drop heaps of boost, and the cooler would be burning hot on the cool side. So its not the case.

Also if you are in Sydney might be worth while visiting Toshi for a quick check up.

Why is the engine speed increasing then going back to zero? But speed increases gradually

I could be way off here but that torque looks quite high compared to power so maybe its getting wrong speed signal?

Rpm increases,decreases,increases then falls off

yeah the dyno guy said that for some reason some nissans do that weird shit with the rpm... he said it wouldnt affect anything but.

The power graph really supprised me because it feels nothing like that...it actually has nothing for ages then all of a sudden kicks in massively and frys tyres but that graph makes it look very linear.... very strange

Just got off trents dyno

265rwkw with coil packs missing all over the place

19.7 psi down to 15.7 psi drop

Trent thinks it will hit close to 300rwkw once we sort out coilpacks and boost drop

Internal gate, note sure about the extended arm? Im guessing so.

Retune booked it for next Thursday.

Have purchased yellow jackets and will put in new spark plugs for the tune.

Trent made a suggestion that the boost drop maybe due to the stock BOV on the GTT not up to task? But were not 100% yet until I do the coilpacks and go back in for a retune.

Anyone know what the power limit on the stock BOV is before you need to be concerned?

He said to get a GTR one if it is the case.

    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
    • So.....wire it up appropriately. You can't use the resister pack with those injectors anyway.
    • that’s the thing i’m on ID1050s and haltech not getting power due to the injector resistor 
    • ahh okay cheers, i was thinking of just going for the m073, think m079 would be way too overkill considering they are same size. 
    • My first car was a HG. I'm very familiar with them. A mild cam upgrade is a good idea. The 186 is a very flexible engine - meaning it has good torque from down low. You can give up a little torque down low for quite a lot more excitement in the mid range, and a bit more up top - but they are not exactly a rev monster. You need to upgrade valve springs at the minimum. For a bigger cam, you'd want to make sure it wasn't still running the original fibre cam gear. That would be unlikely, given that most of them shat themselves in the 70s and 80s, but still within the realms of possibility. Metal cam gear required. Carbies are a huge issue. The classic upgrade was always a Holley 350, which works, but is usually pretty bad for fuel consumption. The 186S had a 2 barrel Stromberg on it that was very similar to the one on the 253, and is a reasonable thing if you can find one, and find someone to help you get it set up (which is the same issue with setting up a 350 to work nice). The more classic upgrade was twin sidedraught CD type carbs, or triples of same, or triple Webers. The XU-1 triple Webers being the best example. You can still buy all this stuff new, I think, but it's a lot of coin to drop. And then the people able to set them up are getting fewer and further in between. There's still some, but it used to be everyone's** dad and uncle could do it. **Not everyone's! But a lot. All in all, I wouldn't get too carried away with the engine. Anything you do to it without a full rebuild for power and revs will only make it slightly faster. I am all in favour of a complete teardown rebuild, with nice rods and pistons, 10 or 10.5:1 compression, and a clean port job with at least a big enough cam to run 98 with that compression, if not bigger. And if I did that to a dirty old red motor, I'd want to inject it too, which I'd struggle to fight against the devil on my shoulder that would argue for ITBs and trumpets. But the bills would start to mount up, and it will still never make stupid power. OK, a few people still know how to build absolutely mental red motors, courtesy of the work that went into HQ racing and modern knowledge being applied. But even a 300HP red motor is no match for an RB20 with a TD06. So you have to decide what it's worth to you. I'd just put a set of 6>2>1 extractors, a 2.5" exhaust and an electronic ignition conversion/dizzy on it and just run the old girl like the fairly slow old girl that she really is.
