So the latest with my car is that I dont think its the turbos. After finding some long fingers and taking more pipe work off they spin fine with no play. The swirl marks that I saw from down the mirror where just fine oil and dust.

Going back to the cat it wasn't collapsed but it has a bit of carbon build up in it. Would this cause a huge restriction. It also has a blue tinge to it so it suggests its getting hot. After the shudder the exhaust note was quieter.

If I had blown a turbo I would of thought I wouldn't get any boost?

Im still getting 10 out of the 20 that it was set to. Plenty of pressure on the wastegate.

Ive checked all pipework and boost hoses. Car still starts and drives ok it just wont get the boost it used too.

Have I missed something before I put it all back together? Or do I need to pull more apart. I havent checked the back of turbos they are N1s so I would think the wheel is still there.

If I were you Brad I would take the GTR for a quick burn (very late at night) with the exhaust and cats removed and see if it will make 20psi. If it does, then it rules out the cats or collapsed exhaust out of the equation.

Bit of work done today. :)

Motor in, then gearbox in, now tomorrow to cut intercooler holes :)

nice!

ps: on your yahoo travels luke, can you keep an eye out for a 4" hks super drager cat back for a jza80 for me ? do u know how much they go for...need 1 real soon...? Thanks.

Good to see that thing getting together now. Will come and lend a hand/have a beer with ya when I am free mate :D

I just worked out the cause to my boost problem. It was a half blocked cat. There was a fair bit of carbon build up. It was very black inside. The cat should be a nice brown colour inside from the carbon being burnt off. Anway did the cowboy thing and bashed it out. Now the car boosts even better than before.

Since were talking about tunes. Should I get my car tuned again? Only because last time it would of had a part blocked cat. And now it flows better.

I always thought running N1s @ 20psi would get more than 265awkw.

not sure if anyone has read this about iphones/devices, but really apple didn't test them in australia based upon the temp restrictions did they ? even outside the car they get over that hot ?

Apple over temp warning

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
