RB26 boost problem

Had a quick search but couldnt find anything, having an odd problem with the car (R32 GTR).

Just had some Tomei Poncams installed and when the car hits 0.75 bar boost it sounds like its misfiring (its not misfire though) and the turbos (hks gt2530's) start to surge (e.g going "woosh woosh woosh woosh woosh woosh").

Anyone know what could possibly cause this problem? The car drives fine around off boost, but as soon as it hits 0.75 bar it runs into the above problem. The car ran 1.5 bar no problems before the cams were installed.

From what I was told the in cam is +4 and ex cam is -2, all the shims were also replaced and valve springs.

If anyone has any ideas what could be causing it, would be appreciated.

:mad:

mine does it as well although my cams are set on "0" on my degree wheels, which means very little other than a starting point for which to gauge changes by. I stop it by simply changing down a gear and moving out of the surge line.

Have you have it dynoed since the cam change? my torque starts to drop off after 4800rpm since I've installed the cams so I guess I will need to retard them to move the torque curve to the right a bit to get back the top end rush. I change gear now at 5000rpm cause the torque drops off so much after that.

Havnt had it on a dyno but done extensive road tuning with it. Whats wierd is once the car warms up (oil temp over 70 and water temp at 80 - 85) it does it a few times, and then it clears up and doesnt happen again until you cold start the car and wait for it to warm up where it does it a few times again, and then clears up and doesnt happen. Very wierd problem.

And the cams are far from dialled in from factory, all in all after this experiance, ive come to the conclusion the camshafts are -far- from a "bolt in" item...

try setting it back to "0" / "0"to start with then retard the inlet ( this will move the torque upwards in the mid to top range) and adv the exhuast ( this will widen the lobe centres given a broader torque delivery0 THATS THE THEORY ANYWAYS :D

I'm off to the dyno tomorrow for some extensive testing on my own GTR so I'll let you know my results if you like.

Can't be the cams that have made the difference, as my car is doing it as well! and it has not had any changes since the dyno day. 1st time I experienced it was using OCTANE booster - it foulded the iridums, which i replaced with coppers. This solved it for a few hundred km's, but it has since returned.

I have read other posts that point to the coilpacks.... I'll be checking these and changing my fuel filter.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
