sounds like you have more than one problem probably began just needing a good tune explaining some smoke and being laggy, (not sure why your really pushing a fresh engine too hard either, but anyway) but since pulling pipes off and cleaning then putting them back on im sorry to say this but i think you have a cooler pipe leak or something now too, ive had very similar problem in the past, only to find after many hours on a dyno and removing replacing removing replacing the front bar and many other hoses there was one hose that was starting to strech open just as it was comming on boost. it would richen wright up and obviously stop making boost.

when the car was at idle it was perfect , but as soon as she start making power it would slide open and SFA :D

sorry just my 2 cents

It's not a tunning issue as the engine is completely stock apart from the HKS 2510 turbos. These turbos will flow nearly same air as the stock turbos at the same boost levels so where the problem is won't be effected by this as the air flow is well down from where the fuel/timing maps run out of resolution.

I really can't see where there could be a pipe leak all pipes have been removed and checked, I will defiantly take on board what you have suggested and I will buy new rubber joiners and clamps for the whole system. I guess the only way to really find the leak in on a dyno.

BTW its not a freshly built engine it is a second hand engine with around 70k on the clock.

The newly built engine has to wait till the wifes ute is paid off then RIPZ 3L will be on the way. Funding approved by wife just gotta work my ass off and pay of her ute now.

Cheers for the help guys

ok sorry assumed engine had just been fully built (my bad, day dreaming), umm well yes if all youve done is just put the HKS turbos on and it ran fine but then after you flushed your cooler it became a problem then yeah leaning on piping leaking somewhere.

ive tried to show (with red arrows) where mine was leaking, the actual clamp was on and but the hose wasnt actually fully around the lower pipe, and it wasnt visiable cause it was actually on the back side. not sure if you run pods or an air box either but, seeing as i had the air box, when the car was on the dyno there was no way of hearing it actually leaking, so make sure that youve checked it all before putting it on a dyno only to spend 8 hours and finding nothing :P sorry.

good luck

Ok so ive started some proper checking before i buy the new rubber joiners tomorrow and i think i found something weird

When the engine starts to cut out im going right off the load side on the fuel map.

afm voltage was hitting past 4v this really dosnt seam normal.

So that tells me it either boost leak(as suspected by alot of people even tho i cant hear anything) or my afm's are f**ked

Have you checked the wastegates to see if there seated?

If there not it won't make boost.

Un plug the hose to the actuator and pump in compressed air (set your compressor to 20psi) and give em blow.

do a compression test mate,

then check base idle postion on the standard computer. also check the position of the crank sensor. make sure its at standard.

check exhaust gaskets on turbos, dumps etc.

all else fails try new set of plugs.

Cheers.

didnt see previous post sorry,

Your airflowmeters are Farked mate, get replacements also check all the wires.

happend to my car as well, i installed Z32s but check the gaksets at the same time turbos, exhaust etc.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
