Accumulators don't address the root cause, they just throw oil back in when the issue is most prevalent. They also fail, have seen spun bearings on cars fitted with them. Nothing is fool proof. This is why we have engine protection....

See above.

 

I agree, I didn't mean get an accumulator and youre sorted - but it is a wonderfully affordable way of giving things a chance, they do work. End of the day, I think its crazy people are willing to drop $1500+ on a billet surge tank and 5 fuel pumps to protect from fuel surge, but not see the value of $500-$1000 to protect from oil surge ?‍♂️

That's disgusting. Some people think they can do anything on a public road. Probably in a school zone with mum's with prams. If I was a cop I would hunt down and throw the book at that total

Certain LS's do have issues with oil starvation, notoriously in long G left handers (like Winton has one of!).

As soon as you go R comp or better (say, slicks in the above example) this is something you just have to be aware of. Gen4 LS's are by far the most notorious for this problem. So much so that GM ship the cars with Drysumps from OEM..

If you go to the track.. really just have to be aware of this no matter what motor you run. Like posted above, feels like an Accumulator on a RB (or any older motor) should be mod #1 before anything power related even begins.

The only motors that seem to be "immune" to it (realistically less prone, not immune) are Renaults and MX5's somehow. Easy to find reports of race series using stock oil control for these motors..

Yet... I want to drive the problem prone one...

didn't put a hole through the block and through the body work.. no IG likes or won't be all over Snapchat

 

The reason I like of like the E90/2 M3 more is because it's rare(?) being a V8, it could potentially be a classic in say 10~15 years time.. who knows right?

 

It's definitely possible. The latter ones are still worth a fair bit but 07-09 got down to around 25k for both manual and dct which is a lot of car for the money.

S65 sounds great but they are finicky and are also torque less wonders ;)

Not too sure yet @niZmO_Man been so busy de-cluttering the house getting it ready to get it on the market.

Just picked up stock wheels off my mate and dug out my stock R33 seat.

Heading to out later to swap wheels and seat so the car isn't worth anything, since it's not in a very secure place.

Nothing too exciting, however got the Nz Wiring Trigger kit working. Turns out the Haltech Elite patch loom is wired to only receive the 120 degree input from the CAS. Took me a while to work that out with Matt from Haltech and Geoff from NZ Wiring.

How did you end up fixing this?

I am thinking about the same kit to use with my elite 2500, was there much needed to get it working?

Turns out Haltech Support was a bit confused and told me to supply +12V to the reluctor and feed it back to the trigger input. Geoff from NZ Wiring actually was right from the start. You don't use the +12v at all, as the reluctor itself generates a voltage.

So all you need to do is use the Trigger PIN & Sensor GND. Both Home signal & +12V are not connected/used.

The arming voltage table given to you by Geoff at NZ Wiring "should" be able to get the car started, however I found that increasing the values a bit reduced the trigger count errors.

I'll get a screenshot of it soon :)

@Tobz sorry about the delay, laptop was flat lol

Trigger Settings, Note the offset is a bit cooked, but it works and even Geoff from NZ Wiring said what I did was ok

Thanks so much for the tables!  i ordered the kit last night so its in the mail now :)

Also randomly onsong performance released a youtube clip yesterday on the NZ Wiring kit and they reckon all you need to do is re pin 2 wires (i suck at wiring, hate it so much! but he was mentioning something about swapping the cas and cam wires, i need to watch the video again as i didnt quite get it all).  Ill do some research this weekend and im sure it will all make sense.

Depending on your car, you probably don't need to swap anything.

I was running a R34 motor and CAS with R33 wiring. Made things a bit more confusing lol.

If you've ordered the right kit off NZ Wiring it will be pinned correctly to suit the R34 loom. All you need to do is setup the triggering, arming table, then lock your timing, adjust +/- the TDC offset till it is 100% synced.

Then rip skids.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).

      street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
