Hi guys i was wondering what and how whould an engine behave if the turbo housing is to small. Not using a dyno just pushing it hard. Im thinking the housing is a bit small on my gtr, but im a bit mixed up because the car runs so good. Any clues would be appreciated.

If you guys listen to the motor can you be able to tell from the sound of it. Sorry question sounds dumb. But all the other stuff seem ok. Im at around 1000f on the EGT gauge when im in the gas. What im hearing is like at top rpms when doing a durn out or lauch the rpms seems to get like a scramble sound. Dont get me wrong when i dump the clutch the car goes. I had a friend do a burn out for me so i could record the sound. Cant you by any chance tell what it might be from the sound of the exhaust. ??

Well i cant tell torque drop off no dyno:( timing im not to sure about.

I can say its all cheap stuff.

Cheap ebay 38mm gate $69

Cheap ebay manifold. $159

Cheap hx35 diesel turbo. $370

Stock injectors

Wolbro 450 pump intank $ 110

Power fc. $800

Twin rb25 afm. $180

The motor is stock rods and pistons

Just rebuilt fresh with arp head studs acl bearing, MLS head gasket. Its also has a racefab sump.

And a fully refurbished head.

Its really a budget build.

Juat wish i could figure this out

Well its not detonation. The power fc is at 42 knock max at 14psi. Thats ok to me. My work tends to be tidy with nothing hitting the block (false knock) well untill i get a dyno i guess ill have to stay guessing. Or using my god given talents. I know about the torque drop off part just have no way to figure it out.

Makes me want to move somtimes. So much guys blow up motors here due to tuning issues. Even i did. Untill i first learned my limits and some road tricks to follow, by no means is it a method that is better over using a dyno.

I stop spending big money on parts and turbos. I use cheap ebay and Chinese crap to build, well other than the motor part. I keep it stock just fresh and push the oil issues to the limit. This whole build was under 2k.

The performance is ok. But well worth the money. The only think i have going for me is i can build my own motors. Thats it.

Thanks anyways guys. For everything

Standard injectors are only good for around 400hp to the tyres so if you're making any more than that they're probably at their limit.

What times and mph are you running?

Standard GTR or GTST injectors? Also - dirty injectors may only flow 2/3rds of clean injectors...

You guys might just be right. The injectors are maxing out. And fast. There rb26 injectors. I do want to buy a set of injectors but to tell you the truth. I dont have a dyno so only injectors that come with the lag times would be the set im interested in. Like the stuff on rhd japan. Once i do the formula and input it into the power fc. Its just a matter of clean up the fuel map a bit. Thats all i can do lean some mistakes maybe even blow this motor up and start over again. People say the those injectors are old fashion and i should go with some newer stuff like mega squirt or somthing like that. Does any of.you guys know what would be a good option in this situation. I really wouldnt mind a set of upgraded injectors.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
