Hey guys,

Can you guys out there help me out with something pls?

I just had my rb26 rebuilt and just got my car back on the road today and i noticed something strange. When i am loading the engine, or when it starts to hit a bit of boost, I can hear a sound which sounds kind of like an air leak from the left side of the engine bay kinda like "chu chu chu". When I get off the power it sounds like I have a blow off valve on the left side of the engine bat. Also it feels a little bit hesitant when it makes that noise. Another thing is when it is idling it revs around 1.1-1.5k, which is a bit higher than normal.

Does this mean I am having a leak some where in my intercooler piping?? Or some other hoses?? Does anyone have any ideas on what I should have a look at?

Current mods: Air filters, exhaust from front pipe back, BOV, forgies, new bearings, oil pump etc etc

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Phil

sounds like compressor surge.

did you change turbos as well?

try loosening the spring tension on the BOV to full soft and see if it changes.

yeah the turbos has been changed they are R34 n1s. but they have been changed b4 the engine was rebuilt. Ok i will give that a try thanks for the help buddy. Will let u know what happens.

Cheers

Phil

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
