Dropped a new 32 rb26 into my 32 gtr. Took it for its first test drive about a month ago and it was boosting to 1 bar but seamed very very laggy and just didn't seam to have any power.

It was blowing smoke so we decided to clean the cooler piping as it was full of oil from the previously blown engine.

Test drove it last weekend and it wont boost past 0.5 bar and still feels extremely laggy. It feels like you hit a brick wall at 0.5 bar.

We have cleaned the afm's put new lower gapped plugs in. We are thinking to try different coil packs aswell.

Another thought is it could be a blocked cat. That might explain the lag as I am running hks 2510 turbos it should be extremely resposive.

Any ideas?

as the boost starts to approach 0.5bar it starts to slow down.. if you keep your foot held flat it, it never revvs out nicely on 0.5bar.. it starts missing n the misses seem to get bigger as it revvs out.. also it doesnt just hit 0.5 a bar nicely, it starts slowing down about 0.4bar. the misses arent sporadic like the usual electrical ones that come and go.. its pretty much the same every time, we've cleaned afms, changed spark plugs and checked vacuum leaks...

I actuslly think the base timing is off by 2 degrees so ill check that first thing tomorrow.

Turbos are both spinning fine and i picked up my consult cable today so i will have a look at what the ecu is doing tomorrow.

I have anotherfuel rail so i might swap over regs aswell

Ok so had a play with the GTR on the weekend.

Put on a high flow can changed coil packs. This has helped(Car much more drivable reving a tad quicker) but problem still not sorted.

We got out the trusty old Motec lambda meter and wow on boost she if hitting 0.663 lambda or 9.75afr

We changed over the FPR to another stock one i had and checked the return line for blockages.

My injectors are yellow topped??? If i recall correctly the 32 RB26 stock injectors i sold last month were not yellow.

Could after market injectors be causing the over fueling(Assuming they are after market)?

Also i noticed a regulator type thing on my spare fuel rail on the return line the rail currently on the engine does not have this?? any one know what it is used for?

Any ideas would be a big help.

Did you even check the fuel pressure before swapping out the reg?

Bit silly to swap it without confirming that was the problem...

No i haven't had the ability to check the fuel pressure I will be borrowing a gauge kit to check it.

Reg was swapped due to the top of it being able to rotate which didn't seam right as the spare was on solid.

Not really silly as swapping didn't help meaning more than likely it was not the problem(That is of course assuming the spare is in good working order)

You dont know the spare was in working order, because you haven't tested either... that was my point.

Replacing parts, without the proper checks, will just mean simply that you'll take forever to find the true cause

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
