Tried searching, no luck

As per the title was just wondering if the length/angle etc of the intake pipe between turbo and AFM would effect the car stalling when coming to a stop at traffic lights etc etc as my car is now doing. I have heard that a longer pipe will increase turbo backpressure and help stop this. Car is not running a BOV at all, and has a top mounted turbo etc etc

Cheers

Yes it does matter - plus the car will not run correctly without a proper recirc BOV.

It used to run mint with standard turbo setup, generic front mount cooler kit and had a atmosphere venting bov on it though. Just since going Top mount with shorter intake pipe so thinking maybe that was the cause

I had to make mine come out about a foot, then right angle it to the airbox. Bit of ally did the job. I would like to put a few bends into it like the stock rubber intake hose, but I just dont have the room. I found a good tune will help, but only to a point.

PFC, no bov, hi mount 35r. Drives like normal. But when your on the track it can bog down when you jump on the brakes and stop quickly.

DAAAAMN U PFC DISEASE AND AIRFLOW REVERSION !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a super gay fuzzy phone pic. But this length seems to work.

depends, the acoustics of the pipe affect the AFM, the louder the dose/flutter/re-circulation will alter the reading of the AFM. Even going from a stock intake to a metal intake change the AFM voltage reading causes slight idle problems when backing off, but I fixed this by upping the fuel deceleration cut off to 1200rpm on the powerFC

that is a generalisation, if you adjust rows 1~3 on the fuel map this will correct over fuelling problems on deceleration. Most days I run my plumb back bov so tight there should just be a plate there instead and there's no farts/back fires or stalling issues.

Rubber piping also helps alleviate that apparently - as a random side point :(

agree with Rob and also its not the ECU's fault so dont blame that

the stock rubber intake piping is accordian style for this exact reason, so if you remove the accordian style pipework, its likely to reverse on the airflow meter hotwire

dont hate the player, hate the game

Now ya tell me u bum.

ah well. good for a dose :)

And rob................no, no it cant.

I did the same thing, upgraded to 3 inch intake instead of, 2.5 inch standard intake. The car was running super rich and turning off inbetween gear changes... As soon as i unblocked the blwo off valve, car was back to normal, running normal and no stalling.

Maf reversion can occur at almost any maf voltage - so you maybe able to "tune" it out at low maf voltages but unless youwant big lean holes in your tune you can't fix the issue at higher voltages via "tuning".

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
