yer i found a leak...

The bracket for the heat sheild makes the contact between the dump and turbo realy uneaven...

I have exhaust wrap over the dump. My question is can i go without the heatsheild? does it realy block that much heat? I can just mount the wires up a bit higher near the abs, will they melt or anything?

2. Is the wire/connection that goes in the top of the dump my knock sensor?

do you know a way of mounting the heat shield without using the bracket that goes between the dump and turbo... Cuz it doesnt do up any tighter and there is still a gap cuz its uneven.. I just put it togethor then without the shield and i was just going to put exhaust wrap over the connection and wires that come from the top of the dump... But if it makes a big difference i would like to put the shield back on....I dont know how to mount it tho.... + i polished it last night :D

If I read you correctly, you've stuck the heat shield bracket BETWEEN the turbo and the dump. Right?

It goes OUTSIDE the flange ie dump mounts up to turbo, and bracket sits on dump, then put bolts thru bracket and dump into turbo.

The wire / connection is the O2 sensor.

2. Is the wire/connection that goes in the top of the dump my knock sensor?

Nope. The knock sensors are on the inlet side of the block underneath the inlet manifold.

The sensor in the top of your dump pipe is the O2 sensor...

Can't help with the mounting sorry :D

GAWD IM A DUM SH1T!

haha.. i cant beleive i didnt do that..

thanks mate

in the attached image.. the green ones are the bolts that i have done up tight.. the 2 red ones i cant do up cuz there is no room to tighten them cus the spanner or whatever else i use hits the dump and cant be turned... how could i tighten these up? I cant feel any air or hear any leak from it...

ok image didnt upload... I have the four outside ones done.. The other 2 are impossible to get to.

I havent realy tested it out yet.. i have only gone to .4bar.. Should i turn boost down or anything like that first... i only have a bleed running .8 atm... this was before the pipe/cat was put on... Should i be listing to anything while i am testing it?

thanks

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
