Boost Signal

Hi all i have a front mount intercooler on my r33.

it runs the cold side over the radiator fan to meet up with the standard cross over pipe.

currently my boost conroller takes its signal off a line running from plenum to charcoal canister, its just t'd into it.

I want to get a nipple welded into the cooler pipe to tidy everything up abit and i think my slight spike issue is related to it running the way it is.

my question is where should i run the nipple up near where the cooler pipe meets the crossover pipe or closer to the turbo outlet on the way to the cooler?

I heard running after the cooler is better due to pressure drop across the core but am unsure can anyone confirm this?

all advice welcome but real world knowledge would be best..

Cheers,

Corey

my source is off a nipple, right in front of the throttle body, that way, regardless of intercooler pressure drop and any small leaks on hot side, 7psi of boost must pressurise that line for the wastegate to open. sometimes this means that the turbo might actually be boosting 1-2 psi more in order for 7 (or your set boost level) to reach the signal line.

in regards to your spike, make sure the signal line is perfectly sealed... other than that, spikes are a bit of a mystery - they could be a million things.

best bet, get a computer with a boost cut out. with my EMS stinger, if i spike more than 9psi (boost is set at 7psi), it just cuts the spark and injection, safe as houses. Just had a thought, cos your running the signal line off the carbon canister, there's your problem, cos the boost has to fill up that entire line before the wastegate gets the boost signal required. wastegate lines need to be as short as possible, and directly from the cooler piping with nothing T'd into them.

good luck buddy

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
