Hey everyone, new to the forum just trying to gather some information regarding what you are running ignition timing wise..

First off, here my current setup...

S2 Rb25det

Garret 3076r (.64)

Tial 38mm wastegate (mv series) wastegate is set to .75 bar

standard 370cc injectors

standard pump

Im running a haltech r32/33 platinum pro plug in play and i'm having some issues with knock...

If any of you have experience with the knock control could you tell me what your peramiters are?

What are your ignition tables like? what kind of ignition are you running through peak torque?

My injector duty cycle is getting to about 65% at .75 bar when i can get there but i'm hitting knock retard. My AFR's are constantly monitered and logged and i havnt been leaning out, but im unsure of how the standard pump fair's with that many more CFM coming from the bigger turbo.

I am not hitting a full knock ( knock light ) but am getting up to 6-7 * timing pulled around 160kpa 4000ish rpm.

If someone could screen shot me their ignition table i would much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Connor

Why are you wasting your time with a stock pump and injectors with that turbo? They will hold you back.

Spend the money on a pump and injectors and get it dyno tuned before you kill the engine.

As i mentioned, the Duty cycle of the injectors is only reaching about 65%, and my air fuel ratios are quite within check. I am going to be running ID 1000's and im hoping to get away with a single 255lph pump.

I am simply looking for someones ignition map to reference to my own, I need to take the car across a body of water and about 200km inland of where i currently am and i'd like to have a safe tune to drive there with it.

One piece of information i have gotten through your reply is that you think stock pump will hold me back immediately. thank you.

It's extremely likely your stock pump will fail as they are getting on and it's not worth risking an engine by using an an old pump.

A walbro 255 will fit in easily and are cheap as.

PM Scottynm35 on here for a price.

What sort of timimg are you running?

How are you monitoring knock?

Correct me if I am wrong anybody here with more knowledge. But I am thinking that at .75 bar on a 3076 would be needing to use more than a 65% duty cycle on the stock injectors?

Otherwise, definitely replace the stock pump before doing anything more. They are incredibly prone to failure or dangerously poor flow on R33's by now. Many a failing or failed stock fuel pump have killed an R33. This may be your problem atm.

Yuh, I'm having trouble understanding how you could be only running 65% duty cycle on standard injectors when you have a big turbo running more than stock boost.

The factory injectors should run out of puff by 220 rwkW, which is a sneeze for a GT3076. And it should be even lower than that when running the original fuel pump.

thanks for the replies, I have a walbro ordered through my local supplier, ( I am in Canada by the way) and just received pricing on my id 1000's.

As for knock I am using the OEM knock sensors running through my haltech plug and play. I need to try and contact someone out there with the same ecu and try and figure out what their settings are for the knock control as mine is registering knock in area's where its pretty much impossible ( not full knock but it is starting to retard timing ) This area on the haltech is not as user friendly as most others.... The ignition map is VERY safe atm and im currently just daily driving the car to make sure it is all sound mechanically after the work i did with the turbo setup.

The knock sensors i believe are being triggered by my external opening aswell as other random noise factors and the knock control is set up very conservatively (safe motor <3 )

I don't have plans to dyno it until my injectors and pump are in. I appreciate the advice guys and clarification of my original thoughts.. really appreciate it

Well, relying on the original knock sensors is probably your problem. They can give false knock readings very easily. The only solution here is to strap on some good knock detection equipment (either a good set of ears or a good knock monitor) and see if it really is knocking.

great line :yes:

Final thought for the OP. Are you sure that your ignition timing is set correctly on the motor vs what you are intending on the Haltech?

Edited by jjman

first thing is first.. have you set your base timing exactly at 15 degrees using the CAS?

You can lock the timing with the Haltech so there's no need to adjust the idle, disconnect the TPS, etc.. like the stock ECU..

  1. Load up the Haltech Software
  2. Press F4 - this takes you to the Main Menu
  3. Go to BASIC --> Ignition Tab
  4. Go to Ignition Lock, and choose Enable
  5. Perform normal CAS adjustment till timing is at 15
  6. Disable the ignition lock

There's no way in hell the stock Haltech map will knock with just 0.8bar of boost.. the timing is very safe.. the only reason it would if your base timing is off OR something is going on with your AFRs

Okay, now this has kind of confused me,... i set the timing in haltech to 15* and timed the cas at the crank markings to 15* , am i supposed to read what the ecu is telling me for ignition? or go off the crank...

The engine is runing 15* timing. the computers ignition lock entry is 15*

okay, make sure you turn off the ignition lock once you've checked the timing marks

however, makes no sense why it should knock with the haltech factory map.. the timing values are very safe.. unless you've got 1+ lean cylinders due to faulty injectors etc..

pull out your spark plugs and see if they're all consistent

Keep in mind it might not be knocking for real at all.

of course, better not discount that idea.. the factory sensors aren't that great

do you have access to a standalone knock monitor such as a K-Mon or Phormula KS kit?

I was looking at the Phormula kits, well priced. Are they as good as the Kmon? Anyone used one?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
