Hi all

I need help! Recently, my turbo was making funny noises while under heavy acceleration. My tuner advised me to change the turbo as it was on the way out.

We installed an HKS T3G turbo because it would be a straight swap bolt in turbo.

What I have now found is that under heavy acceleration the car doesn't go as well as it used to and in extreme cases will actually 'bunny hop' violently. :D:( I believe this may be due to having too much boost, is this so?

I have purchased an Apexi Power FC + Commander and a Hybrid intercooler, but I have been told that I may also need a boost controller. :)

I had intended to keep the car stock and under the advise(?!) of my tuner decided to upgrade to a stronger turbo to increase reliability but could this have damaged the engine? It has become a very costly lesson for me and I just want the car working reliably. :blink:

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. :)

Regards

Drift King

Yeah, the extra air flow from the larger turbo will be putting you off the standard map points in the ecu.

They just map the higher load points with rich fuel and little timing, because this is a great boost/power cut.

Get a powerfc asap, and you will get all your power and more back!

The ecu is deff the problem in your case!

If you can turn the boost down it will help, but if its already at the wastegate spring pressure, you won't be able to do much.

Thanks heaps guys! I have bought a power fc but, due to a lack of funds, am yet to install it.

Does anyone know much about the HKS T3G turbo? Would anyone have a pic so I can compare it to mine and be sure that that is what I have?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
