Hey this might be silly idea but Im curious, what if you did a comp test , then did the adjustments would the right adjustment raise its compression the highest?

Its not as simple as that.

Overlap will lose compression when testing like that, but raise the dynamic compression ratio higher in revs and make more power. Cam shafts and timing are crazy technical, mixed with black magic and heaps of guessing and testing to get it optimal.

Also depends what characteristics you are chasing.

A comp test tests part of the dynamic comp ratio but only tells you half the story, simple advancing the intake cam alone will give you a higher psi reading simply becuse it closes the intake valves sooner increasing the compression stroke lenght increasing the volume that gets compressed into the same area and due to the cranking speed used to do the test changes the VE

The best way to test and tune cam timing changes is on the dyno where you can see the slightest changes in a controlled repeatable evironment

Okay so it goes back on the dyno to play with cam timing on Tuesday.

I think I will just start by doing what GTRPSI said as that should give me a good basis to work from.

Any other ideas/feedback appreciated [emoji4]

Well if bet my left nut it's not electrical. Did absolutely everything myself and tuner could think of but still no avail. Thinking it could be a leaky injector seal or something similar.

Out of rego at the moment anyway so I haven't touched it yet.

Missfire started at 5500rpm and continued from there. Still make 340kw on 17psi with a safe tune to account for missfire only revving to 5500.

Jez did question it (running standard cams/springs/etc) but we both felt it was electrical in nature and tried to pursue that. Ran out of time in the end but will go back and try and suss it out.

What other ways does valve float manifest itself?

Try running it up at lower boost and another run with more boost early on. If it makes it to say 7000 rpm without the "miss" and then when you give it more boost it happens at say 4800 rpm, good chance it's that.

I've had the same issue on my own car and it turned out to be float. Sounded like a missfire.

With 7psi gate spring it make 295kw on 14psi revving to 7krpm. I then put a 14psi spring in and went back for retune and minimum boost we could run was 17psi and it started missfiring, another thing, it seemed to get worse with heat soak, the more runs back to back the earlier it would start doing it.

Tried 2 known good sets of splitfires, and brand new BCPR7ES starting at .8 and working down to .55

Definitely not an issue with ignition. Started at 14.3V and dropped to 13.8V when miss started.

how will you determine 4degrees on the intake cam?

Do you think the stock cams will do much being adjusted, im thinking the RB30 would love more beefy cams as you have higher comp and a bigger pump..

By moving it the same amount as the exhaust cam, I have marked the standard intake cam gear so have a reference to work with.

Yes aftermarket cams would make considerable difference I would imagine. But my standard baby neo cams seem to be doing quite well at the moment. Trent from chequered tuning has made over 400kw on standard neo cams so not looking like they will be a restriction.

Plus $700 buys a lot of tyres so the dollar/fun ratio isn't high enough for me to justify spending that much on some wobble sticks. [emoji4]

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
