This strarted happing bout a week ago and i dont want to have to put it on the dyno just to find out whats wrong any help much appreciated..

first up my mods are on my r32gtst

mines ecu

splitfires

r33turbo

trust cooler kit

hks pod

split dump and full 3inch exaust and a removed cat(no i did not do that so dont comment on it i no its a shit idea)

tomie fuel reg (no gague)

intank walbro

excedy cushion button clutch 5000k old

my clutch fan ceased and while i was driveing with the shit clutch fan this started happening not sure if its related but yeah

have put a better one on there but still when i drive the car past 5500rpm i get boost creep and with the boost creep comes the dead reving (now when i say dead reving i mean the car keeps reving but the reving slows down and you can feel the power drop off which i dont under stand you would think as the boost creeps the power would rise right

i thought i had faulty actuator which i did the spring was shat and i have changed that boost is more stable but still creeping and still dead reving

i was also wondering if it could be leaning out and the ecu is retarding the timing to stop it detonating i have heard the mines ecu will do this but because of what it just started happening

i thought maybe Bad fuel or maybe blocked filter so i changed the filter and ran fuel system cleaner and it got a lil better but still is dead reving

another thing is the when the engine is cooler and you show the car some love its fine for the 1st run but after that it starts dead reving as the car gets hotter

Could there be something getting heat soaked???

one other thing i thought is that i have plumbed both the breathers on the rockers into a catch tank and then back out the catch tank into

the intake pipe

now the pipe that was going to the pod was heating up and sucking shut which isnt good but has sinced been replaced with better hose and that problem is fixed but it blocking the breathers could that haved fubared a pcv valve or something its a long shot but anythings worthago

sorry for the epic thread BUT I NEED HELP ASAP

just a quick question

before you start the compression test do you have to disconnect the electricals like ignition module etc ?

what compression test i have had it done once and that was by my tuning shop

as far as i no you just remove your sparkplug screm your tester in and manually wind the motor over

but not 100% haven done it personally

anyone else can you help me out???

i dont think all do, but theres a fair few i know of that definately do, check it manually and see if its free to swing open... what sort of boost pressures is it creeping to? whoa jason ive never seen the standard map before, that runs a hell of a lot of timing in the mid range at light cruise

yeah will pull it off in the morning and check that i had it set to 12psi on the hks evc 4 but would creep to 14psi but thats gone now and its just running the standard setup and is creeping to 14psi still i will check the dump and let you no how i go thanks guys

j took the actuator rod off the wastgate flap today and moved the flap manually seems with a push down on the flap slightly and try and move it open and closed it gets caught on something like the inside of the dump i will have to pull it off to really find out wats going on

also should there be some up and down play in the actuall flap or should it sit solid i have about 2mm of play???

thanks again

its hitting the middle of the split bit of the dump that seperates the wastegate and turbo exhaust gases, maybe try grinding out enough from the divider so the waste gate doesn't foul on it

yeah i will mate thanks

but y do you reckon its just started doing it????

the car was fine and then one day it just started doing it maybe heat shrink thats all i can think off unless the exauhst is starting to sag possibly because there is no hanger on the after market front pipe???

is there anything else anyone can think off that would cause this

Colder nights?

nah it happens all the time during the day at night whenever it wants

the only time it doesnt do it is the first time you get into it

is it possible my bov could be leaking its a drift vent to atmo its a year old but would the pressure loss under load cause my problem

Thanks again

yeah if it was leaking enough it cause these issues. Can you tighten the spring on it?

it is a drift adjustable one you can just turn the top to hard i will do that tommoro before i go to work it would be great if that was the issue lol

well that isnt my issue gonna take the dump off now check all vacumm lines cant think of anything else it could be

put a standard dump of my rb20 turbo today and there is still a spot on the standard dump where it seems to catch and i stilol have the same issuse i must have soime sort of air leak or something cause i cannot find the issue

Sounds like your timing is retarded?

yeah it feels like that but i dont no why it just started happening

if the CAS(crank angle sensor) is faulty or somehow loose do you think it would cause my timing issues making the turbo boost creep

i have also found a decent exauhst leak from the flanges the cat bolts to under load it would leak a fair bit is it possible there could be some sort of pressure loss or drop causing the boostcreep and timing retarding

I have seen upto 5psi more boost in a GTR with the base timing retarded 12degrees. You need to get it to a well respected tuner because I'm just speculating here. Its the type of issue I would find in 10min on the dyno.

yeah its booked in i just would have liked to have been able to deal with the issue myself but oh well will update shortly thanks

im gonna change the ecu and see if that does anything.

The new ecu i have is an auto one.

now i no you can run a manual box behind a factory auto and bridge the neutral/drive switch telling the ecu its in park not drive but will there be anything on a factory manual loom that will need to be tinkerd with to run auto ecu behind a factory manual car

or will it be plug and play??

this is only to see if my current ecu is working or wheather thats the problem

Thanks

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
