Howdy Yall,

Wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what the asnwer to the following problem might be.

I have an '89 R32 Gts-t with HKS exhaust, apexi airpod, HKS EVC III, Blitz Turbo Timer and pretty much standard everything else engine wise. Now my problem revolves around the use of the EVC. When i run the car on stock boost (ie boost controller on monitor only) it works beautifully however when i turn the boost controller on it does the exact opposite of what it should, that is control the boost levels. If i set the boost at a modest 0.80 kg/cm^2, my turbo timer tells me that it is peaking at around 0.9 kg/cm^2 and above in some cases. If i set it at 0.85 kg/cm^2 it peaks at over 1.0 kg/cm^2 according to the timer and when it is on boost the turbo keeps surging. Basically the power to the wheels will rise and then drop off a bit, rise and drop off a bit and so on.

Since this has happened ive kept the controller off so as to not do any damage to the car till i can get it working properly. Not sure if it might be dodgy wiring, broken connection or what, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Laine

Can the duty cycle of the solenoid be adjusted using the evc? If so then you should probably drop it down a bit to bring the turbo on a bit slower.

I have seen guys running 100% gain on blitz ebc's and on the dyno it was causing boost to bounce around wildly.

You will also find that the gauges you are using to check boost aren't properly calibrated. my DSBC reads very high (1.2bar when making ~1bar) vs my boost gauge which reads slightly high.

What you are experiencing does not sound like turbo surging to me, more like missfire due to the spark plugs not liking the extra boost. When was the last time you changed and gapped the plugs?:D

Ah ok, well i had the car fully serviced about 2 months ago, however I think i better check the plugs and make sure they are ok.

And yeh ill have a look at the solenoid duty cycle but not being much of an expert on that stuff i cant say ill have much luck!

Thanks guys and anyone else with any ideas id welcome your comments too.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
