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

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
