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.

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

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.

Also for reference my boost controller

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
