Guys

Recently had the bad news that the engine in the GTR i have owned for under 9 months is on its way out - odd when it was re-built 6000 km ago (4000km before I bought it) with all the usual stuff - CP forged pistons and rings, ACL bearings etc etc (no head work though).

After getting new Link G4, SARD 700cc, cam gears - the car was pushing out 253awkw - dissapointing given the rebuild work and hi flow steel bearing turbo upgrade.

Anyway - after getting car back from mechanic it starting running very badly, wouldnt accelorate past 3-4000 rpm with foot down - as if it was miss firing? Was told it was fixed - something to do with a hose going to the "chalk box" coming off. On way back from mechanic it started again. I have no idea what a chalk box is - and neither does Google.

Can you guys point me in the right direction.

Carbon Cannister he means taking an educated guess. Mine is a black tube, size of a medium Milo tin in the engine bay - not sure where/how big a GTR one is

Although im not overtly sure that would cause it... Depends how things are connected on your car :D

Question though, why 700cc injectors and so on just for steel wheeled stocker's???

Thanks - makes sense

The link, injectors and cam gears were all done at same time - Turbos, whilst originally stock, are now N1 in size. original injectors needed replacing so thought may as well get the bigger ones given that I was chasing +300kw - until i got the bad news

First ring the mechanic back and verify he was talking about the carbon (aka charcoal) canister.

IIRC the canister will have two hoses connected - on for the valve (round thing on the top, receives a vacuum signal to actuate), and one that connects to the contents of the canister (which holds fuel vapour). Just pinch them both off and go for a drive - that will tell you if there's a problem or not. I'd say if there is a problem it would be similar to any other sort of vacuum (and therefore boost) leak. The canister is right next to the power steering pump, as nismoid described.

If it doesnt make any difference, try a different mechanic.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
