Guys,

I went out lastnight at around 8pm, seemed fairly coolish so I set the EBC to 0.8bar andway was giving it a bit of stick and the car started to detonate. So as soon as it did I took my foot off the accelerator and dropped the boost to 0.6bar. A few guys run bleed valves and stock I/C's do you guys detonate as well?

It will depend on the car, I ran 1bar on my stocker with no troubles, but in general unless you have tuned the fuleing to suit that boost then I would steer clear. On a stock turbo running 1 bar means that the pressure at the turbo is far higher, and it just ends up producing heat, which is what causes the detonation. Get a FMIC and 1bar is no probs.

See'ya:burnout:

Not the intercooler!

plugs too hot? (go a colder set)

Too much timing?

wot r u refering to?

Too much timing u say? u say he runs standard?

Skys ecu is tuned for 100ron and u think that RON98 is really 98 points?

Not as far as people tell me its not!

So hes pinging either like he said, cooler not being efficient, a little bit too much timing in the higher revs, plugs not gapped properly causing combustion chamber to preignite because of the large gap that the coil has to generate a spark.....and more..

I know the consequences of running too much boost and high intake temps... what I dont understand is why so many people persist with bleed valves and stock coolers. With bleed valves it will spike to probably more than 1 bar and is hardly as controllable as a EBC. Just wandered how many people did it and why?

core, thats why the airs so hot.

What are we actually talking about?

Everyone knows tht the stock IC on an R33 gives about 6psi drop over 15psi equalling about 21psi of course the IC is saturated and causing a huge pressure drop and heat increase but we are talking about other variables here.......none of this is extra ordinary :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

girl! :lol:

No...but I'm thinking I should now.

Yes, there must be something to enjoy about pointing out the fact that you 'only run 10psi'.

Perhaps its the way you point it out?

You can say it:

..with contempory dance.

..with an artistic arrangement of pocket lint.

..in music,that when played backwards says ' I only run 10psi'

..by cross promoting with Mac Donalds, the '10psi burger' - guarenteed to produce flatulence at or below 10psi.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
