Haha, yeah, I forgot the shoutout was for Anthony :(

I only got carsales pic ): Which will be updated hopefully tonight.

You can hear me coming AND see me coming ! (Exhaust is at 99 dB)

Depends with future projects, but I was thinking a matte black spray. I haven't seen any in Canberra (Whether or not that's a good or bad thing).

matte on cars= bad idea. a REAL pain to keep. You need to wash it as soon as dust hit its. So pretty much every time you drive it. Get one of the paint shops to match your current colour=win.

I understand they scratch easily but didn't know about it being so sensitive. Washing it weekend shouldn't be to much of an issue though. So, if I was to wash it once a week whilst using it as a daily would that be okay? I do love the current colour ! but have always wanted matte black / grey.

Umm - reduced gap is for more modified vehicles.

If it's stock or near stock then leave the gap at 1.0 or 1.1

I now have no idea on what I should be getting D: I have some of the car opened (bigger pod, exhaust)

Also dude bring it to wheels on the weekend. Good chance to meet heaps of us.

Yeah, Rob was saying ! However, the front bar is emberassing damaged (Not by me! Rob can confirm) and if police are lurking I'll be in for a hefty fine. (Car is legal in NSW but ACT? not really haha).

gap the plugs, see the outcome. If it doesn't work you can always re gap them. I would suggest borrowing robs ones just to check. If this doesn't work:

1. it could also be a clogged fuel filter.

2. Possible vacuum leak on turbo lines OR a hose is split somewhere.

3. 02 sensor??????????????

Also does it do it when you are sitting at 3-4k OR is it under high boost? or both

And when the AFM was cleaned was it 100% checked to be working??

Edit: it is also POSSIBLE (unlikely) that your cat is f**ked and causing air flow issues with the exhaust....

Boost is at around 0.5 -1 bar. At really low boost it seemed to happen a lot sooner and at a higher boost it seemed to last maybe 500 RPM more. But in saying that, we were running around 0.5 bar and when it hits 4k it would splutter out and then pick back up again as if nothing happened.

Once I get some videoes tonight. I'm sure you guys will be able to pick up on what's wrong in an instent. It's a very oblivious sound.

If it was a vacuum/boost hose leak wouldn't it cause either higher OR lower boost than desired depending on where the leak was?

eg.

Pressure leak in solenoid, boost control or waste-gate actuator lines would result in higher boost pressure due to actuator reading low pressure and wastegate opening later or possibly not at all! :O

and

Pressure leak after turbo, intercooler, intake manifold plenum etc would result in lower boost pressure due to...well... loss of pressure?

Also you would possibly be able to hear it leaking anyway, like a high pitched hissing noise...

But I didn't think either of these would necessarily cause the symptoms you are describing BUT... I may be wrong? :S

Maybe due to weird air/fuel mix but yeah...Can anyone confirm?

Should a boost controller be venting the extra psi back into the system like the stock solenoid does?

The normal nipple on the bov return pipe is blocked off but not sure where his controller is bleeding off the extra boost.

That would be a leak if it's not plumbed in yes?

Depends on type of boost controller I think, but in essence, the boost controller should limit the flow to the actuator to increase boost pressure by making the waste-gate open later.

So the most simple set-up will be| Hose from Turbo ---> Boost Controller ---> Hose to waste-gate actuator.

Then all other connections like the stock solenoid hoses etc can be plugged up, just make sure they don't leak.

You can get different types of boost controllers though.

Some withhold/block pressure to waste-gate actuator (like TurboTech and Turbosmart "T-Pieces").

Some vent/bleed pressure somehow, either back into the system or maybe even atmosphere?

And some have a replacement solenoid type thingo. I think these are more for Electronic/Dual Stage Boost Controllers.

Again... may need confirmation as I'm no mechanic/expert lol

Ahhh.... plugs, learn about plugs and what the different colours of soot mean. very important. and easy to do.

Always go with NGK they are the best.

Copper plugs are just as good as platinum, and 5 times cheaper.

And a satin finish is easier to keep than matte, but harder to get right when spraying.

A spray job like that is not usually something you pay for (because matte or satin paint is sht) just diy.

The pad on the spark plug was like a pin, as oppose to a more round / flat one. So the spark must have been not strong enough, also it was rated at 1.1 gap.

It's a clean rev cycle, however towards the end it chops a bit, but that could be the computer needing to fix itself/ tune itself in.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
