Hi all

new to the forums and owning a skyline(first one)

i had an issue the second day of ownership :angry: was very unhappy jan,

but it turned out to be that the previous owner had decided to use carby fuel hose from the pump to the top of the fuel tank instead of using proper efi hose

and it burst in the tank, had that fixed and now when i am at WOT i feel a bit of surging (the car is manual(converted)) and is running 12-13 psi of boost (bought like this)

std intercooler car came with a exhaust haven't had time to measure or check brand

i am going to try turning down boost before exhaust wheel shits its self but wondering if any one had any other ideas as to what could be causing this

regards

describe your surging? I think you're mistaking it with R&R.. the car just hits a brick wall and comes back to life and hits another brick wall...

Too much boost buddy for the stock ECU, it just falls into the wrong cells and bam massive timing pull. I even get that at 0.8bar on cold nights, I just run 0.7bar all day

are you sure it is a stock turbo? could it be something else eg a 2876?

stock turbo would be snapped in half before it could reach its surging limit. might've been afm dirty or miss firing.

The type of surging ive heard is not mistakable, has a distinct sound, take the intake pipe off to see if the compressor wheel has left a grove in the cover, my brothers skyline turned out to have a gt2876, it has a line carve out of the compressor cover.

Maybe inspect the fuel tank for debris and change fuel filter a few times.

cheers all for the reply's

i have dialled it back to 10 psi and it has improved but is still there.

When hot the vehicle hesitates/surges i have tried 98 and 100 ron fuel

i thought it might be a battery problem so i replaced to no avail

will pick some contact cleaner for the maf and a fuel filter as well as some sparks tonight

mods: sh*$y drift boost controller, stock BOV, stock intercooler, pod filter

PS: the vehicle smells very rich after snapping the throttle open

cheers all,

i have cleaned maf sensor with ecc it improved the issue a little but it is still there.

any 1 have any ideas on how to free the stuck rubber hose on the fuel filter (tried bottle nose pliers but don't want to munch the fuel hose) it looks as if it has been on there a while

i also have injector cleaner but dont want to use it till i have a fresh fuel filter in there.

have found the issue is evident in low gears under accel (any) once in 4th-5th at 80km/h-100km/h it will pull fine

ps. what does RnR stand for?

regards

i wasn't looking for an explanation.

i was wondering what does the Acronym mean... so i could do some research on it

5th hit, and that's using the less common RnR version rather than R&R.

Cut it off and replace it.

Yeah, my point was given that you had been told it was R&R, you could have googled it for yourself in less time than it took to ask. I'm just trying to discourage the spoonfeeding mentality on forums.

why isnt that what we are here for? to offer help, support and advice to people that dont know very much.

god knows what you did before google my friend.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
