Pinging is bad and engine destroying - it happens very quickly so don't "dump" it until you either reduce the boost or fix the problem. Means that not enough fuel is getting there as the stock cooler "should" be ok with that sort of boost, so points at the fuel pump or regulator or injectors.

I think..

Was car pinging before you changed air cleaner? Pod filters are not always what they are cracked up to be. Standard fuel system can handle your boost upgrade, engine management may not. How are u increasing fuel to meet boost increase?

Where you add boost you must add fuel or lean mixture results in engine detonation.

how much are the splitfire coils CROAT?

yeh he has said it wasnt pinging, and that he had put the timing up alot, and as soon as the bleed valve spiked, everything went out of wack. im going to jaycar today, aparently those electronic boost controllers are alot better, but one day ill have a piggy back to overide all limitations.

running excessive ignition timing combined with boost spike will definately cause detonation. missfire due to overboost can be caused by incorrect plug heat range and or plug gap. usually coil pack failure will produce missfire even at idle.

Depends how farked they are... My engine was missing around 5500 then coming on strong again at about 6000, detected it as coils right away so started saving up for splitfires... They were installed last week and no more missing at high revs... Only on one or two occaisions did my car actually miss at idle or below 4000...

If your car splutters for a bit under acceleration then gets going again after about 6000, i'd say it's coil packs.

As for price... you can buy them from most place for >$1,000... one of the traders in the for sale section was selling them for about $650 i think... you can get them from nengun for about $600 shipped but you will probably have to wait a few weeks.

i wouldnt bother with a jaycar boost controller and i wouldnt bother with a piggy ecu as it will only fix the problem somewhat(it might even hinder you performance) personally i would save my money and go the whole hog if you are really serious ....

save SavE SAVE !!! and get yourself stand alone managment =)

Not PFC either (go for map sensor =) better no afm <----- or so i am told)

thats my two cents.

Chris,

On a GTST a map sensor is only worth while if you are chasing 400rwkw or more.

Otherwise stick with the PFC, it has 6 injector drivers that are sequential, 6 coil drivers, 02 closed loop, and has been designed specifically for the model of car.

The AFM is more accurate. The restriction is nothing, especially considering its sitting in front of a turbo.

Intake mods at the AFM and or airbox make more of a difference on N/A's than it does turbo's.

Grab the above specs and have a look at what sort of money you are paying for an ecu to meet the specs. Most skimp out with either the o2, injector or coil drivers.

For the Skylines the PowerFC is extremely hard to beat UNLESS you have plenty of money to throw around for a Motec.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
