i had more of a look at the manifold and noticed it has some extra welding in some places so not sure if it has been modified in any way.

looking at the graph the boost drop is around 1.2psi or so.. i mean is that a bad drop in boost compared to what others have seen out there?

and when you say it could be a badly setup boost controller is this caused by long vacuum lines?

1psi isnt bad at all.

Our race car engine drops about 4psi after 4800.

Its all easily fixed by having a good electronic boost controller that is configured to help maintain the desired boost pressure which can be a little fiddly to setup properly at times. So long as the mechanical side is spec'd and operating correctly then there is no reason it shouldnt be maintaining target pressure.

hey guys,

i got the motor back together and the car is now at JEM getting a E85 tune.

what ive done is;

replaced crank and bearings (ACL's)

balanced balancer, crank, flywheel, pressure plate

Ross harmonic balancer

checked head stud tensions

new timing pulley

new intake gasket

new turbo manifold gasket

New HKS intake camshaft

Used VCT intake cam gear

decat pipe

external to atmosphere

E boost2 controller

NPC custom single plate clutch

shortened intercooler pipes

relocated blow off valve

new tensionors timing belt

Id1000cc injectors

2x bosch 044 fuel pumps

4 litre surge tank

Dash 8 fuel supply line

let see what this little GT35R with the 0.82 hotside can pump out on E85..

It's most likely due to 250rpm increments it's looks more wavey than normal 500rpm increment

nah mine plots every 50rpm and that sine type wave is an issue with boost controller or boost control plumbing to gate. Blitz boost controolers do that if it is just clipping the overboost setting.

generally spikes in solenoid duty cycle cause it..

after weeks sitting in there shop now they tell me the head needs to come off to be line honed..

surely they could see on the old cam shaft was damaged when they first took it out over a week ago.......

anyways im not happy at the moment

whoever built this motor has put a bearing at the front on the inlet camshaft, which the clearances where not 100% correct & the VCT gear was loose on the camshaft dowe also.

so we put a HKS drop in camshaft on the intake side and new VCT gear, we had the NEW camshaft machined to suit the front bearing modification that was done.

as they were installing new camshaft they noticed that the camshaft was tight around cap number 3 and said it needs to be line honed which means head offf :(

i went down there today straight from work and im hoping a nice polish on the cam cap etc should loosing it up enough to get the correct clearances.

dont wanna sound like a noob but what clearances are recommended just so i can double check there work?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
