Good stuff Buster, huge but nice power across revs, what else do you have hangin off motor?

Thanks Sydneykid for recommendations.

Grepin and I will be gettin on same dyno in the next few days to compare, this is different speed shop/dyno again, but it doesn't have latest software, so no shootout mode. The same speed shop will have replacement 650kW dyno soon with latest stuff so will redo again in shootout...particularly when I sort out the flow restriction and whip Grepin's ass!!!

Freebaggin,

Do you think it could possibly be the small exhaust a/r?

Not likely, Tim (RPM) and Shaun (Boost Worx) say it's not the issue, plenty of experience with 0.6 odd exh housings and big power. Grepin has 0.68 A/R exhaust with smaller wheel dimensions, mine is 0.63 with bigger exh wheel so overall exh housing flow would be similar.

Have a look at Busters's setup compared to mine (thanks Buster real nice setup for sure)! His has all the trappings of high rpm power, I have all STOCK stuff, just with bolt-on turbo (did this on purpose to see what I get with simple bolt-on). Grepin has Greddy plenum, nice exh manifold, big throttle body so it makes sense they have good top end as well as mid range.

However just now I had a look at my setup and I think along with possibly a "mechanical" flow restriction it might be boost drop-off at high rpm due to two things. Just discovered my e-Boost EBC was not setup properly and the boost "sensivity" was too low, this has the effect of dropping boost at high rpm and also too much boost in higher gears (which I have noticed). I will fix this.

The other thing is the stock BOV might be leaking above 12psi or so. There is a thread in this forum on this very problem, there is a "bleed" hole that can be plugged...I'll do this as well. Then I'll see what I get on the dyno, hopefully all tomorrow, will datalog boost map with Microtech and laptop.

I don't think we are getting off the track here are we :headspin:

So, I did the BOV mod, consisting of a "machined" PVC irrigation plug placed into the BOV leak line and we got the result I was after. Initial run was with line open (stock setup) and then placed the plug in hole and the result as attached.

Didn't need to adjust e-Boost sensivity as boost response was good and also good up to 6800rpm then dropping off. So for 10c I got 8-10rwkW from 120-180km/h, so it helped both top end boost and boost spool up.

Getting better tune tomorrow as A/F ratio was in the 10s in the mid range and timing too conservative (14-15°). I still feel there is more in it up top so a mech. flow restriction might still be there.

Hi all discoverd a leak on previous tune/dyno run. Pipe leading to the idle assembly. 1.3 Bar tune at 275rwkw. Tried 1.5 Bar however needed to take too much timing out. Interestingly it tried to use the same map which ment to tune at 1.5 bar messed up the tune at 1.3Bar. This 1.5 Bar run was done taking 2deg out using the HC ign correction. Maybe with Toluene I can keep the timing and see how it goes. Can anyone shed any light on the PFC using the same map (sydneykid). Microtech for example can sence what boost is being run and use the approriate map enabling different tunes at diff boost levels. Microtech dudes correct me if I am wrong.

Greg.

I am not saying the Z32 is preventing more power being made, but that it sounds like it is hitting peak voltage, so when the boost is turned down, the ecu doesnt know that less power is being made (less air flow) and adjusts the mixtures appropriately.

As the car is tuned off the dyno O2 sensor, the mixtures are right for the higher boost, but once you turn the boost down, if the ECU still sees the same AFM voltage at the same revs, it will use the same amount of fuel - same map point. Get what I mean? Tuning the car with a maxed out (voltage) wont effect peak power at the boost it was tuned at.

By comparison, alot of cars have well over 200rwkw with the stock AFM, but I checked my AFM voltage when I had 190rwkw and it hit 5.1V at 4500rpm (peak torque). This wasnt a problem as long as I used the same boost.

Top end power is probably more being limited by exhaust - but fixing that in itself wont help the tuning at 1.5bar and when the boost is turned down the ecu still uses the same map points - which could only be airflow or revs, as they are the only two points the map uses for reference.

Buster, very nice results there - congrats.

In regards to your comment about "It really amazes me the differences in the dyno's in Sydney alone I'd hate to think what interstate would be like", its the same up here in QLD.

With my previous set-up i went 113mph with 340rwhp, now with my new set-up tuned on a different dyno i made 345rwhp yet i went almost 121mph. Its too hard to compare dyno results from state to state and shop to shop.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
