How To Tune To Stop Flutter/bovs Causing Stalling.

Just out of curiousity where/what would you change in the tune to stop AFM cars stalling when running with a atmo bov/no bov causing flutter. I know you can tune it out as VL turbos and R31 redtop rb20dets never came with bovs and fluttered from the factory without stalling.

I imagine the cause of the stalling is where it runs very rich just after throttle off, would simply pulling all fuel from ~400rpm fix the issue? So when it stumbles it doesn't add even more fuel causing it to stall? Have any tuners looked at the stock redtop tunes to see what is different? I personally run the stoc recirc valve but I'm curious what the difference is.

One thing I have noticed is the redtop rb20s have a strange cylinder sticking out the intake that leads to nothing. This is post AFM and looks a bit like a buffer, could this be what they used to stop the stalling issues? Eg it buffers the fluctuations in pressure in the intake causing less AFM voltage fluctuation?

That would be a resonant chamber - just for noise tuning, although they can have a little influence on total power (in NA engines) by affecting the resonances in the inlet tract. I wouldn't expect any such effect upstream of a turbo however.

I would think that playing with the timing at the low rev high(er) load cells would be needed as well as fiddling with the mixtures. Kinda depends on what load cells it's actually accessing when the stall occurs though, because you wouldn't want to have to butcher the tune in those cells if they also happened to be cells that were accessed during normal operation, which is entirely possible.

Totally agreed, mainly why I mentioned the 400rpm cells as these would never really be accessed apart from when starting or the engine is stalling.

If anyone does have stock redtop rb20 maps, would you be able to look at these areas to see if there is anything stand out that might have been done for this reason?

Is this just an rb20 thing as Ive had my rb25 tuned with atmo bov (it was easier to install that way, less plumbing less fab) and I have no stalling issues, tuner did say the bov was quite good at staying closed and zero leak at the wrong times...

Got any p/n's for ECU that came with bovless vehicles? I can check maps in Nistune and post 'em here.

Apparently some BOV users accept this fact.

And still have that little shimmer of hope that a girl will hear it, strip naked, and dive into their car. (Hopefully before it coughs up a heap of black smoke and stalls)

      Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
