yeah i tried all that Ben and Joel,

I just took it around the block then and it drives ok, feels a bit sluggish down low but starts to go hard by about 4000rpm, but i dont want to take it to high RPM or drive it too much just incase... but i drives, but will not hold idle.

HEY bbenny

just a thought but in the process of taking it all apart you may have accidently disconnected 1 or a few vacuum hoses...i know when i was mucking around puting in a catch can i knocked a vacuum hose and it did the same thing...idle would drop then die....similar to when you have a stock RB20DET and disconnect the plumb back pipe from the BOV

just a thought..maybe check all ther hoses

Wierd?? sounds like a vacum leak, or something like that. Is your vacum lines hooked up to your BOV? Might pay to get a timing light and check the timing??

Does it blow alot of black smoke out of the exhaust at idle? That is a sure sign of a vacum leak.........

i played with the idle, but no adjustments made any difference.

i did pull the throttle body off for the installation but i dont think that would be the cause.

It runs fine when you give it some throttle.

the only thing i see responsible is the stiff in. cam...

i have tried just about everything else there is!

does seem odd, thats why I thought of the throttle, maybe its not open enough under idle or something? could explain why its running fine when the throttle is open a little? just a thought, as other wise I have no idea mate, sorry

You checked base timing yet? what is that set to?

I can't really see how a cam that is harder to turn (but is also is just as hard when the stock cam is in place) would be the culprit

well it was noticably harder to turn...

but then again that could be due to some of the lobes compressing a valve or two...

I can only point to a few possibilities - either the in. cam is not turning free enough, as we have discussed.

or the posibility that the timing belt jumped a tooth when i started the engine

however i did turn the engine manualy 3 revolutions and check the timing marks on crank and cam pulleys...

Its frustrating!

I will disasemble the whole damn thing again and see if i find anything.

Yep i think it is.

Ive decided to bail on the cams as i just cant afford aftermarket management.

otherwise it would be one kick-ass upgrade, i mean 25rwkw average increase for $300 is pretty damn impressive!

so im a little dissapointed i cant pull it off with the std ecu

i can confirm it is the ECU flysky. because i checked and tried everything, there were no other causes.

and SydneyKid has done several running a PFC with no problems and considerable gains.

no probs with standard cams joel

Cams and cam gears are in... only thing is i need someone i Melb that has a blown RB20 that i can steal some parts off.

I need the cap for cylinder no.6 on the inlet cam...as one of the stud has siezed in the aluminium cap, i was lucky to get it unbolted from the head without snapping or seizing...

Anyone in Melb able to help me out, or know of a friend/workshop that can help me without woth one (will need thw two stude that go with it as well.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
