Hi guys,

I have this problem in my new setup like turbo overboosting but its not overboosting...its just cutting my turbo off for some reasons at high and low rpms at different boost at heavy load. Like its living its own life. One night i dont have issues and can go for 1 hour without problems accelerate all the time on different gears at heavy load about 1.6 bar and after 1 hour of drving the turbo cuts again. Like i dont have a fck clue what it can be....

How is this possible that car accelerates one time clean and other time turbo is failing, like the boost is unstable or something, ??

I put new GTX3071 gen2 two weeks ago because i thought my turbo failured but the new one has the same issues. It only goes clean every time at low boosts from 1 to 1.3bars. When i hit 1.5-1.7 it feels like overboosting at some point. So i have changed the turbo already.

On my manual turbo display i have overboosting set up limits  to 2.0 bars, i run external westgate precision turbo 45mm with 1.0 bar spring. My turbo housing is 0.83 A/R v band and 6boost exhaust manifold. Rb25det engine IS OEM did not any mods to it.

There's a difference between

  • A turbo genuinely not having proper boost control and overboosting,
  • A turbo making boost on one run and not making boost on another,
  • The ECU or a sensor cracking the shits and not working consistently.

Work out whichever it is, then start fixing that.

I am using actually LINKG4 but never tried to do any temp corrections by myself and i have hard time reaching my tuner right now. He quit his job. Actually i am in position where i can try to fix it myself or need to pay another tuner for complete mapping from scratch again.

I just went for a run on cold and it was smooth ride for 15 minutes on full loads at 1.7 bar so i guess all is ok with my car just overheating issues at some point.?? Maybe this is because of stronger turbo and i never do any temp corrections before. I had before gtx3071 gen 1 with max hp 550hp and did not have this issues. The problem start to occur more often on gtx3071r gen 2 max 650hp. I mean this gen 2 turbo feels much stronger even when i go only on 1 bar from spring, it has way more potential and its more aggressive.

What corrections should i do in the Link G4 ECU? I need some instructions which parameters to change. Is the log necessary for this operation or not? I need to drive around 1h to get this log saved if this helps with anything. Is this engine temp overheating limiter?

Based on how random this has been for you, it sounds like it could be fuel surge. 

By any chance has this been happening when your at low fuel levels, and/or accelerating hard round corners or up hills? 

Getting fuel surge will feel like your hitting a rev limiter or boost cut etc.

PM me the tune file and a pc log (all channels logged) of it doing it.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By WMDC35 · Posted

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
