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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
