I am sorry, antilag is not part of the 'Sensible 300kw package'.

Shhh, lol.

Lol it is, just too much retard in Bill's case.

Never go full retard, only half retard.

(Single digit ignition retard numbers for next turbo lol).

Yes I'm partially retarded but commo bogan turned me into full retard momentarily. 

I think i had set it at - 40 to 45° 

The other thing I didn't mention is the 2 step part (rev limiter) which is set at 3500rpm didn't activate. So she revved pretty good. Probably my dodgy wiring. 

It is also possible the turbo bearings where on their way out. Anyway turbo is off to hypergear. We'll see what Tao says.

Did you tune this yourself, testing at say 0 degrees, then -5, -10, -20, -30 constantly screaming more bangs! and laughing maniacally? 

I hope so lol.

Sensational bang bangs

The bangs where quite good when the rev limiter was active. I just went and double checked my settings was 10% enrich and 35° retard. Pretty sure with the adaptronic that's not absolute. Eg if base timing is 15° advanced then -35 is 20° retarded. Correct me if I'm wrong sir.

Of course I did until my across the road neighbour came over yelling and screaming, had to drive to somewhere secluded to continue. -35 was where I settled and was producing 10psi on the 2 step.

The problem here has been the limiter not activating and the turbo making a shit load more boost and heat than 10 psi would.

Anyway turbo was dropped off earlier. Tao had a quick look, bearings are still good and he believes either something went through the engine, like a spark plug tip or some sort of debris. I'm just hoping it's not a bit of piston like in dosepipes. Going to check the plugs and do a comp test when I get a chance. 

 

The other theory is excessive heat produced due to tiny 21u exhaust housing and erm anti lag. I'll know more once it's fully stripped. 

He's trying to convince me to moving to a op6 housing with bb core. At this point I'm still wanting to stay with what I had as I couldn't be bothered with redoing my water lines, oil return and retuning again but I may change my mind.

You are correct sir! 

Been a while since I've tuned an Adaptronic!

 

And I hope it's not bits of motor that smashed into your turbo, we know how that ended for me....

Spark plugs removed and inspected, all tips present. Compression test done and still have between 150-160psi across all pots on a cold engine. Pretty happy with that. 

Was panicking at one stage when testing cylinder 5 and it showed 90psi, retested and got the same. Was already calculating cost of rebuild and who to go to but after removing and refitting the gauge it read 150psi consistently. Phew, crisis avoided. Gauge tube mustn't have seated properly. 

Unless hypergear finds bits of motor inside the turbo then I'm confident the engine is still healthy and will put everything back together.

Turbo is back. New turbine and fresh bearing pack. Thanks to Tao from @hypergearfor getting it done and back to me in 3 business days. Awesome service.

Overnight parts from goodstate via ebay plus. Have used them guys a few times for genuine Nissan bits and they always seem to have stock and ship fast. Anyway, had a bit of an oil leak from an aftermarket exhaust side rocker cover gasket. Changed both with genuine + fresh half moons with a dab of threebond while I was there.

Also did a bit of degreasing to clean up the leaky mess. 

Will hopefully fit turbo tomorrow morning and then boost off into the sunset. Antilag switch will most likely see the inside of my garbage bin.

Went well this morning.

All back together, filled with fresh nulon coolant. Bleeding not required thanks to the ling long swirl pot/breather. 

Managed to fire her up and check for leaks. Thankfully there where none. Engine sounds happy and the horrible turbo whine is gone. Success, sadly there was no time for a drive. Off to do family stuff with the wife and kids. Hopefully take it out for a thrash/test drive later tonight.

Ready for Christmas skids ho ho ho 

Just came back from test drive. Can confirm does good skids, spins em off the throttle in 3rd. 

Coolant temp was fluctuating a bit and running 5 degrees above normal. Probably some air still working it's way out of the system. Will check coolant level tomorrow and keep an eye on temp. Happy to have a functioning boat again.

Lol, c'mon man. It's only a fan clutch. You've got a long way to go catching up to Greg. 

In other news, checked coolant level this morning. Took another litre and a bit. Went for test drive 2.0. Temp is a rock solid 88° now as indicated by the Android gauges.

Gave her a quick wash/hose down for Christmas. Scrubbed up alright for an old girl.

After driving again and checking the peak boost levels on the boost gauge, it appears to be down by a bit over 1 psi. I do remember when removing the turbo, the actuator looked a little bent and was almost touching the outlet. I had filed down one of the bolts in the past for clearance. When the turbo came back the actuator looked perfect. I think Tao must have noticed it and straightened it up and this is possibly the difference in boost. Not sure if I'll tweak the boost control myself or take it back to Trent for a proper check and tweak.

Drove through a booze bus today, Cop was all "Does that have a 25 Neo in it?" Said "Oh no, it has a LS" and opened the door and pointed to Engineering plate and told him it was all above board officer.

I got a solid thumbs up.

no RB can have that peace of mind! 😛

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
