hi im trying to get a graph up... umm the tuner reckoned he couldnt stop it knocking at 18psi no matter wat he did... thats y its only 16, thats weired aye.. its alittle laggy

Well id be inclined to run a Bosch fuel pump, and run the std manifold. Pinging at 18psi seems a little strange...did he suggest the reson why it was pinging..

he said i should get some plugs a heat range colder...

are u talking about a standard exhaust manifold?

they just cheap weld n grind cams, standard cam gears..

a strange thing is the cas if nearly fully turned anti clockwise (Advanced?)

I would most definitely be checking the cam timing. Ensure it has been setup correctly and then drop a set of adj cam gears on it and see how u go.

How is the power curve when it wants to ping? Does it want to only ping at a certian rpm range? i.e in my case 4000rpm

I have had valve float issues where i bumped boost up and it would always want to ping at 4000rpm + the power curve would go flat from then onwards.

The last I highly doubt. But a few things to look at.

Hey RB power...what is your car like to drive on the streets?

tail happy?

Do you have any suspension/brake mods to match, 238rwkw is alot to stop with standard brakes :woot::blink:

just quickly....

whats everyone got their rev limiter set at??

since i got the highflow and having full boost at 4000rpm i hit the rev limiter alot!!!

i just dont feel power loss to change gear

street, 6800rpm

track 7500rpm

roy uses a nice rev limit

LOL...i keep mine at around 8,300rpm. I dont rev 3rd and 4th that hard, but i sure do rev 1st and 2nd gear out to make sure that when i grab the next cog i have as many revs on board as possible. The difference between 4,000rpm and 5,000rpm on my engine is proabably about 100rwkws so worth revving out the lower gears to fall into the meat of the power curve

If your turbo can flow the air, the std cams dotn seem to fall off too abruptly....mine still feels as though its pullign pretty well at 8,000rpm. i thnk it makes about 210rwkws at thoe revs?!?!?!

got the same problem as roy, need to keep the revs nice and high to bypass the lag. mines set at 7500 and is still climbing rather well. cams would definately help but might look at raising it another 300 or so.

i was revving to 8.5 on the old motor before she went.

proly will take the rebuild to a max of 8.3, but this time round with uprated oilpump and valve springs to suit.

gotta remember that rb20's are short oil drive motors so the posibility to destroy the oil pump is very good at high rpms/hp.

hey it seams to be ok alittle loose...lol....stock brakes and suspension apart from lowered springs and drift pinapples lol

my revs are set a 7000 rpm

what year was car? and how many km had it done before it let go?

also, were u driving it everyday at 8000+rpm?

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
