Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

Sorry my bad. I assumed that going a 3L you would upgrade the supporting mods, water and oil pump, timing belt, clutch and at least a dyno tune. Obviously not the case, I apologise.

You can't do it without a timing belt. Water pumps are cheap as. The rb30 oil pump is fine. Shim the relief valve for free.

And I tuned it on the dyno.

Widebands are the best.

I also thought my car was running rich.

Bought wideband.

Observed AFR.

Changed fuel maps to suit.

Car running correctly.

See also:

Got tune. Cold start was terrible. Idle was terrible (17:1).

Made 30 seconds of changes.

Car running correctly.

See also:

Car tuned on E85. Corrections for 98 not entirely right (known).

Get E58 or something in tank after tank swap.

Made 15 seconds of changes in correction map.

Car running correctly.

See also:

Changed injectors from 1000cc to 1400cc.

Car not running correctly.

Made 2 minutes of changes to fuel map.

Car running correctly.

GET A WIDEBAND

Doing a RB25/30 conversion for less then $3k can be done IF you can do all of the work yourself and all good and well these guys say you can cause i did it is not a fair statement, you couldn't take you car to someone ( and not a mate ) and get it done for that, no way in hell

It also come to what supporting mods you do and to what level and how properly you do the conversion as we all know there are cheap way to do some stuff which isn't exactly the best way of doing it

So the real question would be can Ron do it for less then $3k done and dusted ?

^^ This really clever fellow here knows me more than I know myself !!

Yes.

It's based on many things you have posted.

For example.

You specified how exactly you were going to block up your bov return. And did it weirdly anyway.

Someone who knows what they are doing just does stuff.

I do really hope you can get the car sorted out.

Again with the wide band, if tuned properly you shouldn't need one, nice to have but not needed cause really you can only do so much on the street before it should be put on a dyno and tuned properly

True enough for anything over 100kmh with a power run. The 97% of the driving you use a street car for however can be done with a wideband and some tinkering. The power runs is what the dyno is for but that is really only a small fraction of the time (money!) it takes for a tuner to tune the car, but I agree - it's no dyno replacement.

    • I did say "2x Magnaflows" then referred to a Varex. So to un-confuse that, my rear muffler is hot-swappable with a Varex. When I had a RB Turbo, I had the 2x Magnaflows, then went LS and though "Oh that's way too loud" and ordered a Varex. A mid muffler will definitely help a lot, even if straight through. SP Mufflers can make anything as big or as small as possible, which will help even more. Looking at my own exhaust I could make the muffler twice as long if I wanted to. Or you could go crazy and get 2x mufflers from SP and full every remaining space with muffling. In my experience closing the Varex makes the car run VERY rich (obviously). I'd say adding a muffler *will* affect things, on a technical, physics level, but I don't think you'd need a retune as the actual effect would be the car running a *tiny* bit richer due to more restriction, on a strictly physics level, but you kind of don't have any option if you want the car to make less sound.
    • I must have read 100 DIY's and watched 200 DIY Youtube videos with most people saying just grab a new cover and, well, despite my normal aproach to these things (replace it all!!) I didn't get a cover. I don't know why I didn't, I'd already ordered a bunch of bits from FCP and it would have made perfect sense to put that in the order.  Anyway, I'm not getting OEM as its just crazy money, even from the states its 900 ish delivered. So, I got an OE Elring one, same as they sell at FCP but local so I can get this fixed this week. Our X5 is waiting for a new diff so we find ourselves in a common scenario of having 2 broken BMW's on the driveway! 🤣
    • Big thing is available inputs for sensors and not having to run multiple expander boxes and software packages for different things why motec is up there. The link ecu and an aim pdm32 was a combination I looked at early on so get ecu, dash and pdm in one go. Aim logging software is pretty good and has all the tracks I will ever drive. Having logging setup with tracks already available is a big thing for myself so can click drop down and go. Thing that I keep seeing is the support what's needed and having a package that people in the know are familiar with as learning a new platform is time consuming.    Got a few boxes that arrived with bits while I was away so hopefully will fit a few sensors and make a start on the dump pipe today. Going to be interesting fitting a 3.5 inch exhaust on this and keeping it above the chassis rails. 
    • Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full
    • Chasing a R32 GTR dash pad, must be in good condition, no broken tabs, no holes and preferably no bubbles.   Thanks
