Car is sorted, faulty CAS.... 385rwkw @ 22 dropping to 18psi.... very conservative tune due to the previous issues... should swing 400rwkw without a sweat.

To those who questioned pinging trust me i can pick it up well in advance i have over $2500 in knock monitoring gear (PLEX which is the best on the market and another which was originally designed for RBs during the gibson era)

Its a truly weird occurrence and is only the second RB in 10yrs i've had with this issue (different symptoms though).

Ill copy paste from my build thread

So yeah. Still Internal gate standard manifold position:

Update:

Car issue all sorted

Ended up being a faulty CAS

22 psi down to 18 psi, conservative tune to make sure it is all ok.

Then will be coming back with 2-3 degrees more timing (~20rwkw) and up to 6 psi boost

Top line no airbox

2nd line airbox restriction

Nice. thats a very high number for a bolton turbo setup. Dyno sheet?

Borrow a standard 600x300 core from someone and hook it up outside of the car. Yep just literally hang it out the bonnet with some long ass pipes.

I'll give you my EFT details when you're ready.

Lol

Wow - an actual faulty CAS, good to know this can happen - have had discussions about the possibility of this kind of thing when working through a similar issue and was told by people that this would never happen due to a CAS specific problem, at least without huge rpm being involved. I had picked up the tuning of a while ago, it would take SFA timing without pinging (exactly the same symptoms as this one it seems) its head off - in this particular instance it was actually a seriously buggered cam belt which had enough slop at mid rpm to cause the CAS to throw out erratic triggering signals. Just replacing the cambelt etc (left the original CAS) allowed a further 5+deg of timing to be put into it and the owner was beside himself at the final result.

I "only" use a G4 KnockBlock - but even with that I can tell dodgy combustion in cars which the owners are adamant the existing tune is fine, even when it has apparently been tuned with det cans of some sort - I sometimes wonder how much it is the user and how much it is the hardware where people aren't noticing knock. I won't personally won't tolerate the little static noise you can get before you even hear rattling.

Thanks for sharing the positive outcome, definitely duly noted

Also great to see a high nistune result.

580rwkw is my record but im sure there are higher ones out there.... even a 460rwkw Nistune SR has come through with flying colors.

Was that 580kw with an AFM ( I would presume so as I don't think you can have a MAP sensor with NIStune?) if so which one?

I'm assuming it would just be a standard sensor in a different diameter pipe recalibrated?

Worst part is the ignition trace is not scattered like you would assume. ( not sure why the above is not in qoute tags lol)

100kw from a CAS replacement is a great result. I wonder how common this issue is...

I had the same issue in 2010, it was a bastard to diagnose. Basically boosting up but then breaking down in the upper RPM range, exactly the same as with OP, although on a stock car.

Good to hear it's sorted - very tidy power figure too btw!

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
