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?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
