basically, they use an Idle air valve, super rich mixtures and 0 deg ign advance

Idle valve lets enough air in to keep the fuel burning, super rich and super retarded means the exh valve is open when it ignites.

I thought I read somewhere about the missfiring.... that they didnt fire 1 cylinder out of 4 combustion cycles or something like that but cant find that info now only what your saying zebra.

Must have been dreaming that day lol.

but anyway, the only way I could see it working is having a Power FC pro with launch control (or another ecu that supports this) setting your launch control to a certain RPM and retarding the timing in those cells.... an RB will not push a turbo at idle

  • 2 weeks later...

I re-routed the wasegate lines on mine 2 months ago, with boost pressure helping the spring. The gtx is pushing 30psi in the midrange now, falling to 25, not bad considering the Turbosmart has a 1 bar spring. It was road tuned so I dont have a new graph but the power curve seems flat from 4k to 7.5k. Exhaust temps in the manifold are very low, I havent seen more than 700 degrees and that is on lean cruise.

Very happy with the Garrett and i'm amazed how quick it can spool to 30psi when I drop back a gear. Its absolutely silent too, great stealth setup.

That sounds more like rotational idle

Used to help cool the engine off after a hard run

I dunno where I was reading about whatever it was hey, i thought it was why the rally cars sounded so rough when they anti lag on the start lol

No idea what I was actually reading then

Missed my spot last week to get my cars final tune but hoping the end of this week the tune will be finished and ill have a dynosheet for you guys to pull apart lol i connected my rocker cover breather into my suction line and i pulled the aac valve off and cleaned that but it still didnt help my little idling bug though it did seem to make it start quicker. When i pull up at a set of lights it sits a little high around the 1100rpm zone but sometimes as high as 1500rpm but after a few seconds it drops down to 900 and from time to time it hunts up and down from 1100-600 any ideas where i should look next? Or could that be to do with the tune now since i hooked that breather line up?

Any updates?

A vacuum leak?

Did Jez manually check your idle? If not then disconnect the TPS and adjust the idle closer to the value set on the PFC.

Try 30-40 degrees retard and a bit more fuel. Its the ignition event with the exhasut valve open that cause the turbo to spool. The idle valve is required to stop the engine rpm from dropping too much.

If you did nothing but retard the timing you would still get 95% of the benefit of anti lag - hence it is the most important variable.

My cold start values were f**ked on my nistune, meant zero ignition advance, I could build ~1psi in idle at 2500rpm with about half throttle.

Would get massive compressor surge and 5psi+ trying to cruise at 60kph with a 250kw highflow.

Havent checked for vacuum leaks yet ill suss that out tomorrow arvo hopefully. yavus did tune it but we had this idle issue so i been tryin to fix it but not much free time atm :( took it for a run today and it was nearly stalling and idling bit rough worse than its ever been it runs great everywhere except for idle :@

I will have been smoked at Unigroup prior to the tune so leaks should have been found but I would inspect all the vacuum hoses very carefully anyway.

Got my car back yesterday unfortunately i didnt get a dyno sheet because ive got a boost control issue that i need to sort out and ive also got an idling issue :rant: so the tune isnt finished yet

Yuvaz said i made 270kw @ 20psi which was a lil disappointing number wise BUT it feels unreal pulls like a freight train is very responsive and the sound is amazing!

Does anybody know where i could get my hands on some English instructions on how to setup a HKS EVC boost controller?

I will second that scotty :thumbsup: my garrett is very quiet it whistles a little bit down low and thats the only trace of it really i believe it is actually much quieter than the stock turbo :whistling:

I also got a shock when i used bout 60% throttle and my gauge was at bout 18psi then i stepped on the noise pedal to bout 90% throttle and the gauge went up to near 27psi almost instantly! :worship:

Pulled my pcv valve out today cleaned it up it works fine but the rubber grommet on the other hand was stuffed when i pulled it out it broke in half :domokun: Nissan want $50 for a new 1!

Getting a new rubber tomorrow but used a rubber hose that i had and dodged it up and it didnt seem to play up as much so fingers crossed its sweet when i put the new rubber in :w00t:

Im getting frustrated cant get my tune done till next thursday now :rant:

We found a few things this arvo that need attention.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
