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...

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 !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
