Hi,

I have just finished my s13 rb26dett conversion and are having promlems around the intake/turbo.

The engine has two new garret gt28r turbos,z32mafs and apexi pfc.

The intake pipes are 60mm ss directly to the turbos.

The problem I am having is that it sounds (and feels) like the intake pipes are blowing air out again in a pulse: front ,1sec, rear,1 sec, front,1sec.... and so it goes on.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Should there be a balance pipe between the intake pipes?

(I dont have the original ones to check)

the engine is running very ritch because the registrered air comes out again.

Here in norway there is not more than around 10 gtr,s so nobody has knowledge on tuned rb26 engines.

Any tip/help will be apprechiated alot!!

does it do this when it's just idling or what? sounds like reversion (large volume of compressed air being pushed back past the compressor wheel upon gear change) but that shouldn't make the car run rich, maybe just for a sec when shifting.

only other thing i can think of is that your idle is too high, but either way that's a very strange problem.

balance pipe should not make any significant difference if it's on the intake pipes.

Does this happen when it is idling or when you are driving? What rpm does it happen at? Is it at all rpm's?

Things to check;

Spark plug gap, if is is misfiring it will cause the turbos to surge.

Camshaft timing, if it is too retarded on the inlet or too far advanced on the exhaust you will get surge

Ignition timing, similar to camshaft timing.

Valve clearances, if the inlet valves are not closing you will get combustion pulses back through the inlet. If the exhaust valves are not closing you will get combustion based pulsing of the turbines.

Hope that is of some help:cheers:

Interestingly enough I was talking with someone recently about GT28Rs on an RB26 - and they reckoned that unless you go a large turbine a/r (and therefore a pretty laggy twin setup) they are quite "surgey" turbos as a twin turbo configuration. If you are running ~.64 turbine a/r, then what he was telling me is true... ;)

the problem is there both on idle and driving.

the blowing pulse dont seem to rise when reeving the engine, but it gets stronger the more load you give it.

register belt are checked, plugs, afms and o2 sensors.

I have tomei 260 cams with adj. pulleys but they have not been adjusted yet.

The head has been ported, gasflowed and rebuildt.

I believe the valve clearence is ok because I cant hear any tikking or bad sounds from the engine.

Can I find out more about cams and lift If I take a compression test??

Lithium:

What do you mean about "surgey" ?

The turbos are almost the same as the hks 2510,s so I dont believe that they are the problem.

he means when you close the throttle or back off the charged air in the intake blows back out the turbos...compressor surge.

Are there any blow off valves fitted to the piping for removal of surging?

ok. thank you for explaining, my english is not the best :whatsthat

Yes, there is a hks racing type bow fitted.

But it doesent only happen when I release the trottle. It happens all the time in both at idle and driving.

Is it possible that the air can come back in reverse when the turbine wheel is blowing the other way?

I believed these turbos have been tested as twin before?

Belive I,we read on this forum that someone used 2x garret gt28rs.

Can anyone confirm this?

Is there a good way to check if they are too "surgey"?

Thats reversion, not compressor surge. Compressor surge is where the turbo(s) is trying to pump more air than the engine can swallow and so you get the chuffing sound as the air bounces (for lack of a better term) back through the inlet. On a single turbo setup its commonly associated with turbos that have very large compressors in relation to the turbine.

Checked the compression on the engine yesterday, and it was a pressure of 7 bar on all sylinders.

The engine manual says 12 bar original and a limit of 9bar.

engine is a r33 with only 39000km on it.

It looked like new with original turbos when I bought it so I dont think its the bottom end.

The head has been ported and fully rebuilt With new 3 angle seats.

The man who did this says its been pressure tested too.

But thats without cams and lifters.

Right now I am starting to believe its the valves not closing entirerly and causing the low pressure and engine trouble.

Anyone else with me on this one?

Is there a way to check this without taking the entire engine out?

Is it possible for an engine builder to shim the lifters in the right posision with head and bottom end toghether?

I Must say I aprechiate your help alot!

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
