Hi,

As the title suggests I am having a little trouble with my tune on a rb25det with a gt30 bolted on. Mods are as follows:

all supporting fuel mods, pfc Pro, zaust cam gear 3' neg, 3 inch zaust etc etc etc... Oh yea, running 19.5 psi...

The A/F ratios are just below 12:1 but so close you could say 12:1...

after we got the fuel right we started to add timing, but once we hit about 245 kw she started to ping badly, Big Carl had the same setup and made 260 kw... I cant think why I am experiencing this pinging, possible reasons are:

bad fuel?

oil in the intake piping?

F*ck, I dont know :D

any ideas why I am experiencing this pinging? We did not get a chance to wind much timming into it due to the pinging...

Would it be better to add a little more fuel to allow for more timming?

UPDATE:

Just spoke with my tuner, I was wrong about the A/F Ratio's. They are actually about 11.6:1 which is ritcher than I figured. Also on a power run it seems that the knock is happening at 6,000 rpm at full boost. Had a look at the map trace and I think we are only talking about 3 or so cells of timming that are causing the knock.

If I amend those ignition cells and the knock goes away is it safe to lean it off to say 12:1 and would this make much difference to the power produced? (I am not worried about the final figure on the dyno, I was just expecting more mid range than the tune currently produces).

Experiment with pulling 1 degree timing out when she starts to ping. Trace with the Map trace or you can do it easy with the settings -1 timing but that will pull one degree out everywhere and you dont want that.

Going from 11.6 to 12.0 is not going to make much difference at the wheels

Good luck

cheers,

Yea I have taken -1 out of the entire map just to see if 1 deg would make a difference and it did so now I just have to isolate to cells at around 6000 rpm causing the knock and take a degree out or two.

I would expect, leaning it out a little would make some difference...

i thought retarding the exhaust cam gear was more beneficial?

It might be retarded, now you have confussed me???? I know that it made a benifical difference when I put it on so I must have it right :(

Actually now that I think about it, it was neg 3 deg :P

are you referring to the lack of midrange problem re: injector lag time wrong? or something else. try a dyno run with the dump pipe / exhaust dropped off. see how the midrange compares. may find the exhaust is too restrictive

The lag time won't be an issue as you have tuned the car at the current setting.

With a similar setup i found about a 3rwkw loss dropping mixtures from 12.4 to 11.9 with no other changes.

Out of interest, what sort of response does it have? Any dyno sheet?

Just noticed you are running an rb25 exhaust housing. They are pretty small and may be restricting the flow, but on the up side improved response.

I thought the internal gate gt30 hybrids were using vg exhausts?

Arr, so I am not going to get to much power from leaning off then... The response is not bad. I get full boost (19 psi) at about 4000 rpm.

I will post the dyno sheet tomorrow...

Thanks for all the replies, Oh yea: I just changed the ignition cells that were causing the issues and it seems to have solved the knock issue...

Now I just need a little more power.

hmm what about the wastegate size? may be a bit small and overboost, which wasn't apparent on the dyno?

No over boost is happing cause the PFC tells me the max value for manifold pressure and it never gets higher than about 1.3 bar... Maybe 1.32 but the tune allows for a little over boost...

I'm running a GT30r with a VG30 exhaust housing, (.63 internally gated) and I will let you know how i go with the tune next week.

I'll have Nismo 550cc injectors.

Also, its bolted up on the stock manifold etc, pretty much the same setup.

I have a powerfc also.

man, 19psi? I that a stock bottom end? If so.. thats gonna kill it!

dont use octane booster unless you wanna change your plugs after using it.

If you cant get it working on PULP then there is a problem somewhere.

I'd start with the exhaust side of things.

Drop it and see what happens. You also need to find out the spec/rating of that turbo

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
