Skyline Detonating On Dyno

So my cars at the tuners getting the new GTX3076R put on with nismo 740cc injectors and exhaust. Its got a rebuilt bottom end with a re-co'd head. Its already got plenty of supporting mods such as Bosch 044 fuel pump, FMIC, Wolf 3D v4. Rang them up today to see how things are coming along and they say the cars detonating in the top end and they're not sure why.

So they asked me what kind of fuel I put in it. I put in a fresh near full tank of Caltex 98 right before I took it to them. They seem to think that may be the problem as Caltex runs a different blend of ethanol, possibly?

So they're going to drain the caltex and try BP ultimate tomorrow.

Can I get some input please, this is kind of worrying me and I'm questioning they're abilities.

Let them check the fuel 1st then go from there. Did they mention the power it was making ? If around 270-280 at 18lbs it would seem about right. But if all goes according to plan there should be 290rwkws there. If the head was shaved I hope you used a 1.2 0r 1.6mm head gasket.

So you add 0.2-0.6mm for every 0.005" they take off the head?

No they didn't mention the power it was making, I forgot to ask. The wastegate is set to 14 or 16psi. Its a standard headgasket, pretty sure :wacko:

They built the motor in the hands of the previous owner so i assumed they would of known what they were doing. I hope so anyway.

are they familiar with rb and turbos? sounds bad they have no pointers on why it's detonating? o44 & 740s should have plenty of fuel, maybe try somewhere else before they run out of det. time?

I assume it should be, they're professionals, they should know what they're doing.

They didn't have time to try it today. They put fresh BP in but no time to tune it. Updates tomorrow.

You need to get your car outta that shop ASAP before they knock the bearings out of it (if it hasnt already) or worse... detonating in the top end = big trouble!! Its also the hardest to hear/detect so if they're certain thats whats happening i would be really concerned if i was you... To say they dont know why its detonating is reason enough for any person to question there ability. You need to ask questions like How timing have they put in at the point of det? What are the lambda readings at that point? If those questions arnt answered quickly and confidently then its obvious they dont know what they're doing.

It's sabbadin automotive if people are wondering. I tried to get into JPC but they were being lazy, arrogant regards. Customer service was the worst I've seen.

The tuners pulled the intercooler off and found oil in the bottom, so pretty sure the seals in the old turbo are stuffed. Cooler is getting sent away Monday to get cleaned. Hopefully fixes my issues.

Its more than likely just oil from the cam cover breathers. U may need a catch can to help prevent it filling up the cooler. Most cars will have oil in the cooler.

Is it blowing any blue smoke?

Is the cam timing and base ignition timing correct?

What intake pipe are u running to the turbo?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
