Spooling a big turbo./ lots of grip

Well today I tried a new setup on one of my r32 gtr build I had done a while ago. When I say tried it. I mean race the car.

This car makes good power once I'm off.

It had tons of grip and I can't seem to get it going off the line even if I pin the gas to the floor at 8500 rpms. It's a built motor but uses a old gst72 turbo. It's a old turbo long with that being a journal bearing.

What I'm doing it comparing it to a smaller set I had on another one of my car. I trying to find out what could be the problem if not it being the turbo itself.

I'm guessing the turbo is a 72mm.

For now I know my breaking gearboxes

In 3rd with this car and until my os88 is delivered in have no choice but to use the 3 stock boxes to work things out. Oh

I have 2 r33 box that I'm going to be keeping for gear sets. Just to try out.

Anyways what's happening to the car is its bogging off the line no matter how hard I let it go in first gear. I guessing the grip is alot more than my other cars and it sitting on 4 275 tires nto1's. I'm guessing it's the turbo. Being a journal bearing and a old design. Or is it the cams as this car is my first car using cams. That's one concussion I can come up with, as to the difference between the 2 cars. One was full stock. And this one is built, but so much more lazy off the line. After I smashed 3rd gear I gave it my best to see what it would take to smash 1st and even second gear. But the car would just fall over on itself and bog off the line. It goes it just like my other gts4. I'm wondering what all could be my problem here.

What's the biggest turbo I can run until it would act this way. Is it because it's big and a journal bearing turbo. Is my cams affecting the tune down low and what could I look for/or do as evidence of this.

I'm stumped here. I'm sure I have no boost leaks, but worth checked. Is my turbo oversized. One solution is to use an anti lag device off the line, but it's so hard on the motor and the turbo.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated guys.

Yeah I'm stumped to. It has to be timing and fuel I was thinking the same thing. On launch I don't see to much black smoke indicating fuel. I'll also check the timing.
It has to if it's to advance I can see it not reaching peak cylinder pressure and killing my take off. Also to lean to be bad. But I don't feel it a lean problem. Best to start logging this week end. I need to buy to damn hub dynos.
Thanks for ideas guys

The turbo is a bit archaic but it could be that you just are not able to get enough load to get the turbo up on steam?

I completely agree with Allan on putting a built auto and transbrake into it - would make launches so much easier / consistent and will put a stop to your exploding gearbox dramas. Going with a more modern turbo and potentially changing cams / timing would likely help if you want to remain torque-converterless.

Anti-lag would help the situation but you are right it can be hard on the hot side depending on how you do it - what kind of ECU are you using?

Thanks guys. I have already paid for a OS88. So the power glide is out, but may be a solution for another build. After I slowed down and looked at things I'm not sure but I'm thinking it's timing because of the 272 cams in the motor. As it should rip the tires up like mentioned above. At 22psi and 8500 rpms it shouldn't fall flat on its face then go. It bogs all the way down to like 4k.

Then gradually climb up and as boost kicks in at 5500 pulls hard after that.

Between the motors only the cam is what's different. As the duration is way more. I'm thinking of what I'll need to do to get her going timing wise. As the cams are leaving valves open longer and a small bit more lift. I should slowly start to retard the timing whiles looking at my knock levels and making sure there is adequate fuel. Hmmmm cams are hks 272

 

Whats the cost for full power glide setup. ???

8500rpm launch and its bogging is abit strange to me 
should be blazing tyres once ur off the clutch
sorry don't know what it could be

I have ever had this same motor/cam in another body and it was the same thing. Couldn't launch. I'm thinking it's the cams. Hks 272. I'm not sure of the lift. May be standard. But the added duration I feel may be my problem.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
