Hey guys took car out for a spin tonight and under full boost I get s spluttering sound and notice that I'm hitting 100% duty cycle around 2/3 of the time ?

Forged rb25det

Gt3582r @ 20 psi

Sard 550cc

Sard FPR (new)

Walbro 255 pump

Z32 afm

Power fc pro

A 35R should be making a LOT more than 290rwkw @ 20psi. You'd expect around 340rwkw.

Clearly you have issues going on, probably a combination.

I suggest you go back to whoever tuned it and get it on the dyno to diagnose the problems. Could be a number of issues.

Well maybe it's the fact my car was slipping on dyno and I've fitted new clutch on saturday and now it's getting all the power to the ground ? Shouldn't 555cc injectors support 350rwkw like everyone on forum states they can

They will support 330-350rwkw. But who knows whats going on.

You've fitted an aftermarket reg, it could be set wrong.

Fuel pump might be having issues, fuel filter even

As for the power you might have exhaust restrictions, timing could be wrong

Who knows mate. I think there is more to your problem and it's not coil packs at this stage.

Either way you must take it and get it looked at on a dyno, see what the fuel pressure, AFR's, boost etc is all doing.

Especially with your threads the past month, certainly issues

I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but does it pain you to talk/type in a friendly/non-threatening tone?

Yes, your posts are very informative, but you almost always talk down to everyone who has less knowledge than you, sorry just pointing it out.

Well no - it's still down on 50rwkw for the boost/setup you have.

So whilst you had bung plug, it doesn't explain the rest. Or why the plug was fouled in the first place.

I was stating a fact - It was totally neutral.

Have a look at his post history. He's had a number of issues with the car of late.

If stating fact is a non friendly tone, well stuffed if i know what your talking about.

And yeh she is running 44 psi is that ok?

That is the factory psi, since it is adjustable you may as well up it a little on your next tune to give your self more headroom and keep it safe.

Yeh well I'm not sure maybe the fact im running a stock exhaust manifold and intake manifold ?

Yeh I have a good exhaust setup 3.5 inch cat back and it's only a new FPR and pump , what fuel pressure is recomended ?

So judging by those 2 comments im assuming that you have factory manifold, dump, front dump and cat?

If so there is your problem, upgrade the dumps and cat first and see how it goes then do the manifold if needed.

    • The answer to this would be I followed the documentation from Turbosmart which said each spring pressure could achieve a maximum of 5x it's rated pressure so the included smallest spring being the 6psi had a range up to 30psi. I went with the 12 because I figured it'd likely hover around 15psi as a base pressure however I was obviously wrong.    I have a log here that I'll dig out that is purely wastegate and no Mac valve controlling anything.   If it can't hold anywhere near 12psi, does that mean the straight gate is virtually wide open during a run? Or am I thinking about this all wrong.   I could Tee Piece into the cooler pipe pre intercooler where the wastegate gets its feed, and send that to the ecu and see how that reads, I just don't have a spare pressure sensor currently that's all.
    • lol nice, I wouldn't worry about sanding back the filler to check for rust then. Yep very much a thing. Personally I don't do the panel beating, its very easy to have a panel beater sort that out for you. If they aren't doing any prep work the actual panel beating generally doesn't take long at all.  Have you taken before pictures before you started this project? I'd be keen to see the before and afters when you're done.
    • Some good discussion in here, for the most part I can't really add too much to it - thought I'd add some notes to the datalog screen shot that probably aren't news to anyone but a good prop... this is assuming 25psi-ish should be the boost ceiling given the first post refers to 23psi.   To state the obvious, this issue seems super weird.  Turbo speed seems pretty lethagic to build, like the turbo isn't getting as much drive as it needs - and it doesn't help that wgdc keeps rising AFTER boost target then completely shuts duty at a point, which in theory should have the straight gate dump heaps past the turbo and funnily enough causes the huge drop off.  It seems like pretty blunt boost control tuning but I'd not call that the primary issue, so much as possibly not helping the situation. I'm curious, what does a pull look like with purely mechanical boost control?  Like purely wastegate?   There are things in this log and story that make it sound like there could be a significant restriction in the intercooler piping or something - but then it's also overshooting boost target which is NOT what you'd expect with a restriction.   I can see where people are coming from with the non-linear wastegate bypass (not that any valves are linear for this kind of thing), but it still doesn't make sense that it can't hold <20psi on a 12psi spring.    Have you, or can you try measuring pressure pre-intercooler?  Be pretty interesting to see what's happening there vs in the intake manifold - sorry if I've repeated old ground, I've kinda skimmed over but I could have missed something.  In terms of comments regarding the wg spring being closer to boost target, I haven't used a straight gate but part of the reason for having close to wg target is about fighting backpressure as well - I might be wrong, but I'd have thought that part of the point of using a butterfly valve like the straight gate does you actually don't have to resist pressure at all, on EITHER side of the gate.   It shouldn't need too much leverage to start opening, the spring being more to do with where it triggers opening as opposed to resisting boost & EMAP, though smarter people can correct me if I'm wrong there.  
    • Ah the car is a complete shitbox and not even worth a respray lol, for a professional to do it would probably cost 15k because of all of the dings and stufd but I was keen for a side project. Also solved the problem of being bored haha. But with the rust yeah I can always fix that in the future, not a huge issue for me. I found out yesterday that when a dent is created a high spot is created around it (the crown) and to fix it I either need to tap the edges or just sand over it. Which is what made my filler work a bit confusing originally lol.
    • That's some useful information to have , it would be great if we had more local suppliers .
