Hey ya'll, put this thread in the forced induction section on a previous post but no ones replying

Just had a Garrett Gt 30 turbo, 650cc injectors, Z32 airflow meter put in my R34 GTT RB25DET with other mods put in before

Greddy FMIC

Xforce exhaust system

Walbro fuel pump

Turbosmart boost controller

Nistune

Podfilter

Currently running 214rwkw or 287hp. My tuner and mechanic is Andy at Hyperdrive in Malaga W.A.

Now he came across a small issue, that prevented the engine not reaching its potential, as closely as i recall he said that while he was tuning it he had set the boost to 13 but then it would go back down to 9 then work its way back to 13. The power from the turbo doesn't kick in until bout 3000-3500rpm, and he wants it to come on in that mid range of 2000-25000rpm, so that the engine can get what he estimated which was about 310-320hp. Andys told me hes calling up the turbo and boost controller peeps to see what they say, but anyone who has dealt with Andy knows he doesn't mess around with ya car.

Also has a idle issue sounds like the engine wants to stall.

If anyone who knows what the issue is, or what it could possibly be let me or Andy know. Cheers

which boost controller is it, i know it says turbosmart but which one, what is the spring pressure of the waste gate, i'm going to guess 8-9psi and if so then get rid of that boost controller and get a good jap one.

i've had both and i don't care what anyone says the turbosmart e-boosts in my opinion are rubbish, i had one do a similar thing to me in the R32 after it was set up by CRD (so set properly), it came out the next day and a HKS EVC5 went in and no more problems

internal or external gate?

few simple tests to be done first. exactly what does it do with no boost controller (just running off gate/actuator pressure)?

next try a run with the signal line pulled off the gate and see what it does, stop if it goes above ~15psi

this will tell you if its your boost controller or the gate

I don't know mate I'm a chef not a mechanic, i can cook a mad feed, but wouldn't trust myself to touch the engine, not my area of expertize, but all these things i will jot down and tell Andy maybe he might know, but seriously keep the info comin fellas i need the help to fix this problem.

    • 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.
