After the instakllation of the GT-RS turbo i have noticed some pinging (the dash warning light is coming up when giving it a bit). I took it back for a re-tune, dropped the boost back to 1.2 bar and took the timing back a few degrees and richened the mixtures to i think 12.5 and there is still pinging. I raced at the creek last night and it pinged in 2nd gear at 4500 rpm to redline then the other gears it was fine. The tuner said it is that the engine is getting to hot?? any ideas?

I have done everything regarding fuel system. injectors, pumps 044 and standard, sard fuel reg, (filters, plugs, all oils, and gaskets were replaced when turbo was fitted). Have a Power FC for management. Dont have cams, plenum or anything like that. It does not ping when i put the boost to 14psi but when it goes up from that it begins, also you cant hear the pinging so its not bad at all just the slightest knock.

Not having a HC doesn't help much !

What fuel are you running, If you'r running down the strip i'd use BP ultimate + Nulon Octane booster, this stop detination :( - Could be a bad batch of fuel.

Other wise its down to the tune, you said 2nd gear... get you tuner to do the map tracer for second gear, find the detination points and pull 1º - 2º of timing & add more fuel in thoes load points.

:D

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
