Cool

My Knock sensor count climbs in hot weather at low rpms and boost is reduced

but when its cool like today count is 0 and boost kicks like a mule and car breaks traction in 1st , 2nd & 3rd.

 

Interesting topic re: Map sensor. I'm running -9's (GT-SS), on a Vipec. My tuner (DVS Jez) also tuned 'around' the 3 Map sensor. I hit 24psi boost as well from 4-5000rpm before it backs down to 21psi up until 8K redline.

I don't think it's anything new to tune beyond sensors, on the dyno, but I can understand why it's less than ideal. 

It was a last minute decision while we were there, but I should have pulled my finger out and bought the proper sensor afterwards.

A 3 bar map sensor will read up to 29psi

Fair enough. Mabee i was told incorrect info. Someone mentioned to me that 3 bar absolute is not the actual same as total "boost". And just looking up my Vipec, it's 2.5 bar map sensor or 22ps "boost"i?

Could be completely wrong though.

Wouldn't the wideband see it leaning out - and react accordingly?

 

 

 

 

but how would your wideband determine you've over boosting? or that you're running way to much timing?

And how would your wideband and or your map sensor determine you've over boosted and cut fuel/igniting to your motor?

Pointless having engine protection that's not protecting a basic thing like exceeding load, in this case boost.

I got you, will put an order in tomorrrow.

Let us know how you get on.  While there is a good chance that it is to do with that, there is no guarantee BUT a MAP sensor that suits what you are doing is really a must have imho so not wasted money no matter what way you cut it.    Obviously it'll need remapping to get rid of the guess work on the 250kpa load range - good luck!

Any easy way to test them? Boost leak test doesn't help as any leakage stays in the intake so total pressure remains the same.
 

My BOV's are plumbed back. Leakage past the BOV just ends up back on the hot side of the motor. Total pressure remains the same and given the noises involved in pressuring the system, hard to hear if the BOV is unseating.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
