Thanks mate will do today hopefully.

stock bov goes to the very far left pipe in this pic..

That image is a stock R32/R33 GTST intake pipe with all the EGR and BOV return pipes intact.

I assume yours is still there and just blocked off.

Replaced by the looks of things, is the stock setup better or good enough to replace the new pipes? Can I feed it back into their somehow?

OK, so in that bottom photo, where you can see the blue silicone hose connects onto the turbo inlet pipe (approx 1" hose clamped), that's your crankcase breather connection. The BOV return needs to go onto the same part of the turbo inlet pipe, preferably so that it is aimed towards the turbo rather than aimed towards the AFM. If you don't have another suitable fitting on that intake pipe already, you just need someone to bang a hole in it and weld on a new one, plus run the BOV return.

cheers

Ok, well, I had a productive day today.

Me and some mates were doing the clutch and got some new plugs to see if that was the problem.

Before we did anything we tested the coilpacks and they all seemed to work properly. But when we were f**king about we found one of the vacume lines at the rear of the head to be split

Very split.

Luckelly we had a blown rb20 their so swapped it out.

Not only did it get rid of the misfire, the starting issue and make everything smooth, when I drove it and hit boost it smashed streight past 1bar.

Dunno what it hit but I have wound the manual boost controller back 2 clicks and it's still above 1 bar.

I can only assume the old owner wound it up to compensate because before it only hit .9 bar as it was. Will be interesting to see how far back I have to wind it to go back to 1bar again.

Turbo seems much happier.

Even the flutter sounds different, mush deeper so it must be making much cleaner boost.

Also in regards to the screamer pipe. Unbolted the bottom clamp when we took the gearbox out when we did the clutch. It fell on the floor!

Shit welds shit piping which is bent and squashed pin holes in the welds and yeah slid into the turbo, probably not even the correct size so I'm. Ot supprised it has soot on the turbo side.

Dump pipe looks better

The boost line came off my boost gauge, was enough of a leak to make it stall. Kind of makes finding these leaks a pain in the ass., especially if you have multiple not very bad ones.

5 clicks backward on the boost controller and still spiking above 1 bar. What's the best way to do this. Wind it all the way closed an work backwards? How many clicks should it be?

It will run up to 12-13psi with no boost controller if you have a free flowing exhaust.

I bet you have loads of vacuum hose going to it which alone will increase the boost, just remove the controller altogether. I have a turbo shit dual stage bleed valve, even on the lowest setting it would spike to 15psi.

also wtf is "cleaner boost" rofl, I lold irl when I read that.

Edited by Rolls

A boost controller only lets you run more boost than the wastegate spring allows, not less.

So with a stock rb20 turbo with exhaust, front mount etc 10-13psi isn't uncommon "standard" so putting a boost controller on there set to 0 gain will often still run more boost due to the extra length in the lines.

Hence remove the boost controller and I have no doubt it will drop to your desired 1 bar.

Well it seems to have a tendency to backfire or cutout/ missfire when it hits its high boost, which seems to be atm just over 1 bar but it dosnt feel safe holding it at this pressure due to the popping( not always :/ )

also I don't seem to hear my screamer pipe now I think about it... More investigation tomorrow. I took some video of the gauge to see where it got to but u can't hear only of the backfiring or misfiring at top boost, what's actually setting my boost level ATM? The ecu/ Nistune? Fuel delivery? Turbo? I'm confused now, i can't see 16psi being standard?

Also for reference my boost controller

And people still persist in fitting atmo bovs

+1, its impossible to convince people they cause richness, idle issues, hesitation etc etc on an engine with an AFM. The ECU doesn't know WTF is going on when the atmo bov vents.

Your still having ignition problems.

The boost controller. Its possible your fuel pump is NOT keeping up. You may or may not have a factory waste gate actuator. If its factory it is set to 10psi, but it may creep above this to 11-12 psi. If you have an after market waste gate, who knows what the spring rate is. Remove the boost controller all together and see what happens. Removing it wont do any damage. Just plumb from the turbo outlet into the waste gate actuator with some vacuum hose.

Ewwww, yuk, old Turbosmart bleed valve. Disgusting, one of these caused me to blow a ring land in my old RB20.

UNPLUG THE THING FFS

Your boost level is set by your wastgate actuator spring, however when you change the exhaust this relieves backpressure and also increases it.

Standard with everything stock is 6psi, but with exhaust etc 12-13psi is normal.

Like I said twice before if you have the turbosmart piece of shit even with gain set to 0 the extra length of the lines etc will make it spike to 15psi etc, hence remove it!!!

The popping is because you haven't got an aftermarket ECU and the stock ECU is making it run rich as f**k, your stock coils, old plugs etc can't hack it and hence it misfires.

Conclusion: Remove the boost controller,

edit: google how a turbo wastegate (internal vs external) works and this will help you understand.

Kitto

The fuel pump is a bosh 440 with grt injectors, also a z32 AFM and a nistune ecu

Rolls

chill man i will when i have a chance,

and again i do have an aftermarket ecu, not a stock one. also i understand what your saying but it seems excessive. we shal see when i have time to remove the bleed valve.

    • 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?
