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


Recommended Posts

Cheers for the explanation XKLABA.

Ron, I can't see how when using the plug lead method you don't get an accurate reading. That's exactly how the timing guns are designed to work.

Woot, on that flat smoky whitish face of the coil...

Yeah, that bit, directly behind that whitish stuff is the part of the coil that makes the spark and the pick up in the light will pick up the coil firing

This is right :thumbsup: I just got lazy and didn't want to do that every time i set the timing after removing the Cas, adjusting the cam gear the replacing Cas set timing taking car for drive then repeat :(

I think he meant the wire loop in the harness ?

OK just did what xklaba does - inductive pickup straight off no1 coil front face - 20-21 degrees on PFC commander AND harmonic balancer, so all good- this is the easiest n best method! Timings higher cos cars colder at 61 degrees water temp

The first time some weeks ago I didnt check the commander when setting cas to display 20 on harmonic balancer, I just assumed it would be 15 as thats what the idle always is on a hot engine, silly me didn't realize that on a slightly colder engine the commander would most likely have been displaying 20. And because 15 is the stock base timing that cemented the thought it WOULD be 15 displayed

Dont worry, you won't understand it anyways.

Who is that cretin?

Cmon Bro, don't clog Rons thread. It's doing a fine job on its own.

If you want to have a chat do it via the PM I sent you, don't be a hero on here.

Ben

Timings done n dusted. Fuel economy with new O2 sensor = 21l/100kms, same driving pattern as usual nothing new.

Wideband with gauge on agenda, will that do on its own? Not wanting to get a datalogit etc, dont even have a laptop lolz but can borrow one. Option 2 is take to Unigroup n get an AFR log on dyno. Which is the better option?

Any other opinions on getting an afr log at the dyno vs getting own wideband with gauge?

And that intake pipe mods not happening, I've said that a few times already. For now that is

Haha. Tuner will be seeing it soon. And what do u mean by actual fault Scotty? Fault of the temp power loss during shifts? Yep the bov entry could be the fault of that..but who cares..not worth fixing somethin that accounts for barely 2% of my driving.

On a different note, see pics of my tacho/speedo combo in 5th, diff looks stock as far as I know and stock box of course. Something we spoke about once- pics to put it to rest.post-49401-14106061208116_thumb.jpgpost-49401-14106061389729_thumb.jpg

But that's what the whole topic was about! But now you know how to fix it, you don't want to fix it because now it's not a problem. Hmmmm at least you're consistent. You're funny.

Is that what the whole topic was about? Really.. Have you even read all the other problems n nigglings that have been fixed now? Now whos funny? Lol

    • 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.
