Car Cannot Take Timing

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).

When I had my RB25DET dynoed, it would ping its brains out, and no amount of timing would solve it. Then the dyno owner (not the operator) commented that RBs need FUEL to prevent detonation.

fit a new decent intercooler setup, if this fails remove the timing belt and bottom pulley and re-set timing correctly. sometimes they can be a bitch to get right, i once gained 80rwkw from re-doi

Because it would be spinning at 100k+ rpm then then you shut its oil supply off....

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!

      Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?

      My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more

      Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
