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.

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
