Nice to meet you to Mick!!!

yeah I got caught in the act of buying all this.......... cos racecar!!!

and thought it might be an idea to buy a surge tank whilst I was getting other bits and pieces.

lets just say I'll be eating cardboard for the next few weeks!!!

hopefully have almost sorted out the boost issues will finish putting in the new solenoids tomorrow and test her out!!! :)

ended up replacing the whole blackbox of 7 solenoids and 2 green solenoids as one was brittle and broke and I now have pressure in the vacuum system!!! but I'm still not getting secondary boost so first point of call is to check I'm getting vacuum in the vacuum system (separate from the pressure side of the vacuum system)

The system is so complex its a challenge to get my head around it.
The turbo control solenoid uses both vacuum and pressure to operate properly, if not then it wont transition effectively. so I need to see if the "charge control actuator" and the "turbo control actuator" are moving then it means I have vacuum and the solenoid is faulty. The charge control solenoid was in the blackbox so that should be fine! so if that's working correctly I'll see the "double throttle control" actuator moving also.

so much to check and make sure its operating correctly but I'm happy I'm getting on top of it!!!

here are a couple of pic's to show the head f*ck LOL

That's the thing Brett apparently a twin turbo FD with 280kw will blow any single turbo FD away even if it has 400+kw and some guys are pushing 345kw (537nm @ 5200rpm) out of the twins.

So if I get all the vacuum system and solenoids replaced which I'm over halfway already with fault finding then it'll be good for another 12-15years (and with a vented bonnet maybe longer as there isn't as much heat in the engine bay.)

You hear so many different stories and people are trying to push there own parts ETC but apparently all the FD race stuff ie: Spirit R or Bathurst R are the best items with the least problems but then some guys swear by the single turbo setups.

Its hard to know what's right or wrong so it comes down to personal preference I guess.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
