I had heard it was load related but I don't understand what that means... don't a certain amount of revs mean a certain amount of air is flowing in and out of the engine (hence spooling up the turbo), loaded up or not?

I was asking b/c I was talking to a mate about why auto's are better than manuals and he said that the stall converter in an auto allows boost from launch (true)

I think this is how it works:

The computer will dump in more full under different load point on the fuel map. Therefore when you are in neutral there is no load on the engine so not as much fuel therefore not as much exaust to spool up the turbo...

Launch control on the other hand retards the ignition so the fuel gathers and explodes in the exaust manifold with creates the flow to spool up the turbo...

Correct me if iam wrong...

Retarded ignition means that the combustion has less chance of doing useful work, so it will either burn at the bottom part of the compression stroke or once the exhaust valve opens. I've heard that retarded timing can burn your valves, but probably only on older engines.. But yes, retarded timing means a given fuel/air mixture is doing less useful work on the engine and therefore you can use more air/fuel to run at the same point (which is fine if you are in neutral and want your turbo spinning, but useless if you want to accelerate).

"I can get plenty sideways without boost and fat 255 tyres :) Of course boost picking up soon after launch helps it stay sideways, but I've never needed it off the mark."

well as soon as the clutch is droped there is Load...... Thus boost!

thats if the clutched is droped when the rpms are at a good level!

Well if you give it a quick rev you will generate boost as the engines temporary loaded accelerating its own rotating mass, but thats very short, so thats why you hear the bov when you give it a quick stab... which can make you launch abit harder if you time it right... autos have boost because of the resistance/load from the torque converter...

I know of a few conversions where a rb20det turbo and manifold has been fitted to a rb25de (changed ecu and injectors obviously) and that made boost at idle.... looks weird when you go to take it for a test drive and the gauge is sitting at 5psi while its just idling away...

you just said that you can get plenty sideways without boost!!

just commenting that most likley it is With boost!

 

cheers:)

Oh :) Well, the initial wheel spin happens without boost, and I daresay it wouldn't really need boost to continue (although boost makes it easier). So although I am getting boost by a certain stage, I doubt it's absolutely required.

Any NA SKyline owners want to confirm or deny that?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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...
