Hey everyone...

we if you seen my past thread about my brothers car (r33 gtst) and how the engine died well it had a hole in piston number six, tonight we swaped the avc-r boost controller from that car to my other brothers car (r33 gtst) and we took it for a strap.... max boost we put it in was 1bar but it was reading 12psi (due to duty cycle etc) but as we were driving it suddenly cut out and the engine it died.. when we pulled up it started sounds like the car thats already blown up.. white smoke an piston number 6 is full of oil!! so is the spark plug. so we have no idear what has happened here except to question the avc-r.... the same avc-r has blown up 2 rb25det engines (piston number six) ?

could this be a fault in the system ?

what should you surgest we do ?

Thanks,

Cam

ermm did have another boost gauge apart from looking or reading the out put of the AVC-R.... if the reading is from another boost guage and the reading from the AVCR is the same then there should not be problem with wiring... if you dont have a boost guage then MAY BE you are receiving wrong information..... i always dont trust boost reading from a boost controller...

Hey everyone...

what should you surgest we do ?

1. Buy a used engine off these forums (MattR has a couple at the right price).

2. install a GTR / Bosch fuel pump

3. Replace fuel filter & plugs at the correct g a p

4. Get the injectors ultrasonically cleaned

5. Get aftermarket engine management

6.Get it tuned by a pro, on a dyno !!!

If it's a stock turbo it won't live very long at 1 bar pressure. Expect it to throw the exhaust wheel into the cat, destroying it, and potentially being spat back into a valve and.... why am I so unlucky....... engine #4...

Educate yourself about your particular vehicle. Then you can modify it -effectively- that's the whole point of these forums.

Stock RB25's just won't take sustained detonation. End of story.

yeh it might of been running lean... as on the dyno it was running 30:1 afr at 14psi. but it was only running 11-12psi on boost guage and avc-r so it shouldnt have leand too much. but i think cause the avc-r ran propper boost throught it and it was on 12psi at 3000k all the way to redline, and engine couldnt handle it.

some advice get a fuel pump before boosting your car !

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
