1400r , yes you are right on ,that tested the car again today and we were getting that weird wooshing sound as the impeller starts to go the wrong way cant put the old turbo back on without going to a lot of expence remember most stuff on the turbo side of things has been custom fitted but where looking at another turbo at the moment a gt30 the tuner and turbo guy are talking about it now on what to run.

Cerealkiller sorry i dont no the AFR its running but the cam timing is set for standard for the time being till the problem is sorted

Chris32 havnt chattered to you for a bit but yes thought of that because it had eratic idling to but proved not to be the case turner did the figgers on the flows and its running 90% air flow effeciency on 18psi a boost but they recon the turbo's running outa puff as the cams are starting to work

GTST > i dont no the enough about the r33 turbo to commont on that and yes it drops straight down to near stock boost levels but in that 3000rpm range it woops arse

Thanks Peter

I have a hr31 gt passage with r32 rb20det with stock heads and bottem end with these mods:

- microtec ltx-8

- 550cc injectors

- hiflow turbo (no idea on specs except its a t3 housing)

- full 3" mandual bend exhaust with hiflow cat

- front mount cooler

Now it produced 198.8rwkw on 18 psi ill send anyone the dyno results just email me at [email protected]

So you have something wrong with that motor only producing 160kw

Cam timing is essential I think... Im fairly certain RB20DET Auto should be 20 degrees, not 10 or 15... I found my throttle response to be quite shit at 15 degrees, bumped it upto 20 and it ran smooth as :cheers:) My Cefiro is Manual now but use to be Auto, therefore perhaps the base timing in the ECU is different to the std Manual based ECU?

JK

In all fairness, intercooler ineffiecency, incorrect cam timing, and retarded ignition are not going to loose 90rwkw which this should be making.. Unless they are all completley wrong, i would say that your tuner has it right that its a mis-matched turbo and is surging under boost. Would be great to hear the results after the gt30 has been fitted.

Cam timing will loose 90rwkw easily.

My RB30DET with the stock RB20DET turbo with 9psi made 176rwkw.

On the same dyno and a RB30DET that was built at the same time as mine only made 125rwkw with 14psi and a t3/4 spec RB20DET turbo highflow.

Looking at his cas sensor, 15degree's has the cas sensor almost in its fully retarded postion. So the cam timing IS way out.

It has yet to be fixed but will be soon, I'm keen to see the results.

I would expect 220rwkw maybe 240rwkw if we are lucky. :)

my rb20t was also disapointing. mods are walbro 500hp fuel pump, malpassi black 2:1 regulator, hybrid intercooler kit, custom t3-t4 turbo from dyna torque, turbo back 3 inch exhaust, wolf 3d v4 tuned at rotamotive, k@n 4 inch diameter air filter. it made 189rwkw

(221hp) at 18.5 psi. ignition was said to be breaking down. since then ive closed spark plug gap and up graded to splitfire coils, now waiting to put it back on dyno. will be going to just engine managemant at moorebank, seen em do great stuff

i ahve a feeling its the timing aswell as my car is not performing as it should have been told that if the timing is set to base timing then it needs to be advanced to take advantage of the mods

it feels real gutsy till on boost at bout 5000rpm

wastold that an advance in timing would bring the boost lag down a bit

food for thought

cheers

Hi Guys

Well as it stands at the moment the to4 is having a new inducer housing put on it as was deemed way to small decided not to go with the gt3040r as plotted to be way to laggy for an rb20 just waiting on the updated turbo at the moment so can be refitted then we will try tuning again. By the way anyone know of anyone else that might be good at tuning the wolf 3d for a skyline in sydney

Cheers Peter

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
