Hi Guys

Rebuilt turbo on second dyno run much better though the tuner is still not happy with it says exhaust to quite to restrictive (but it nice and quite) beleives injectors are the wrong type (hi flow rotary idle problems) and to small and running to hot so tuning was stopped till problems rectified but still pretty good result will post dybo graphs of low and high boost for opions

thanks Peter

Hi Guys

Been rebuilding my car from the ground up for the last 18 months finally got to the stage of dyno tuning today with dissappointing results I like some oppionions from people with a bit more experence than Ive got on these matters

as to why you think its not making much power at the moment the tuners have given mr there ideas but would like some more ,I'll list the mods and the graph and like to hear all idea's

1. 600x300x76 fmic

2.Hks cast exhaust manifold

3.Hks 35mm external waste gate

4.Hks t04 with .4 exhaust housing

5.Hks adjustable cam gears set a standard for now

6.Hks 264 inlet and exhaust cams 9mm lift

7.Hks air filter in standard air box with cold air induction

8.Head ported and polished

9. inlet plenum runners honed smooth

10.460 high flowed injectors

11.Gfb stealth fx plumbed back into inlet system

12. Malpassi rising rate fuel pressure regulator

13 gtr fuel pump

14.full 3" exhaust system from turbo back waste gate plumbed back into exhaust just b4 high flow cat

15. Wolf 3d ver 4 plug in with boost control and thurmo fan control

Thats all i can think of off the top of my head that has to do with engine mods bottom end standard but has only 60400klm's on it still hone marks in the bore

just like to hear from you guys now on your verdicts on the problem just gotta try and post the dyno graph now.

Hi, Legend01, 160 rwkw is a bit low for the mods, depends on the boost of course, I would be looking for 220+ rwkw so there is a fair bit to go. Do you have the graphs of the boost curve and the A/F ratios?

There are couple of simple things I do when I get a lower than expected result on the dyno. First I remove the airfilter, just run the AFM open and see what difference that makes. Then I drop the exhaust, from just in front of the cat, that will tell you if you have a problem there. These are both done on the dyno as they only take a few minutes to test.

If they both show nothing drastic, then I like to know what sort of restriction the intercooler has. So I compare it, out of the turbo and at the plenum, obviously i don't have to do that on the dyno. If it shows no real restriction then everything else is down to tuning, A/F ratios, boost, ignition timing and cam timing.

Hope that helps:cheers:

Sorry i dont have those graphs but that was running 18psi there but from 12 to 18 boost kept droping of around the same -place and going back down to 8psi within 500-rpm depending on what boost we were puting into it

Thanks Peter

Hi guys

SXC180 it is a .48 when the turbo was rebuilt at Dyna torque paul there said he had never seen one that small but with as large an impeller blade

Turbine

It was an auto it now has an exceedy 450 hp clutch in it and an R33 gearbox

Cheers Peter

Ive had this problem with my old rb20 when i put a fresh motor in it. Set the base timing up to 15degrees and it made about 150rwhp. Very weak. I then moved the crank angle sensor to where it used to sit just passed the half way mark between the top right 10mm bolt and it made 220rwhp .

Hybrid 600x300x76 we tested that was flowing free

                                                                                  Peter

hmm, is it one of the hybrid copies floating around?

they tend to be very free flowing yes, but they don't actually cool well.

maybe have a look at intake temps

I had a similar problem after my PFC/injectors went in, didn't matter what boost, it made 160rwkw

Turned out to be a leaking intercooler hose, tightened it up, made another 40rwkw

Check them all, as well as idle vacuum

Chris

RB20DET...that's your problem :cheers:

no but seriously, what AFR is it running? Could be that. My feeling is that the cam timing or the tuning is off. Just for reference I currently make 150rwkw with:

Blitz LM FMIC

3" turbo back w/ high flow cat

stock air box

stock turbo (12psi)

stock internals

A'PEXi S-AFC2

Doesn't a stock R33 turbo have a 0.43 rear?

That turbo you have don't sound right at all.

and you said it gets to 18 psi then drops back to 9..

isn't that what happens when the revs catch up with the psi on a restrictive turbo?

reminds me of my MX6 I used to have.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
