The Automatic Performance Thread


Recommended Posts

Nengun site so I'm not sure who/what translated it. Would be good to get a hold of some complete info. I had a look around for V specific info the other day to see if this was a feature on all F-CON models but didn't turn up anything.

its always goign to take a second or so to change gears on full throttle changes.. that's the way the nissan gearbox is

if you want to change that, then a shift kit is a great investment :)

If your are interested here is a xls file of raw data and graphs from Newkleers LCD Box and NissanDataScan software that I did the other day trying to sort out some problems.

It shows the timing cut and change from first to second at near 7000RPM.

The Auto has been modded with a firmer shift plate and Kevlar clutches, 2800RPM stall etc.

BTW this is with ECU ERROR 34 - Knock Sensor showing all the time.

Can anyone tell me the implications of this error on the ECU maps and general operation of the engine under this fault condition?

Sorry I cant give you a definite answer on this, but logic would say that:

Knock sensor not working = ECU assumes engine knocking (just to be safe and avoid a waranty claim)

therefore retard some timing.

HOWEVER - if you have set the timing when this was faulty you may have already compensated for the retard, but removed the safety measure on the rare occasion you get bad fuel or heat soak in the intercooler.

Well I have bought most of the parts and have gone with a PFC. I would have gone with an F-CON but no one in Vic tunes them. So I should have all the parts within a week or two but might wait til Jan to do the install. Depends on when I have a bit more cash to get the spare turbo rebuilt and pay for some of the install and tune. I'll be installing as much of it myself as possible but lets face it, I'm an IT tech not a mechanic. I can do a service, change plugs and coils but fuel pump and injectors and I have visions of exploding cars.

Glad I found this thread... I will add my Datsun 120Y that has a RB20DET auto

Engine has

20thou forgies

Walbro + Bosch 044 & surge tank

GTR ingectors

Stock AFM just before the throttle body

3" exhaust

Garrett GT35R 0.63 exhaust

38mm Turbonetics external gate

Auto has

MV shift kit

MV manual shift controller

B&M pro ratchet shifter

4200 stall converter

trans cooler

185 kw

I could only find my 13.1 @ 113 timeslip from yesterday but it has done a 12.9 @ 113.

Best 60 foot is a 2.25

I use 205x50x16 Toyo R1-R and a 3.7 lsd diff.

I have been told I have the incorrect type of muffler fitted and i need a straight through design.... Damn restrictive V8 muffs.

Well after finally getting a half decent converter in, last night i did a 11.89 @ 112mph.... 1.71 60 foot time.

I will upload the time slip in the next couple of days :)

Here is a pic ..

Update, the new fuel system netted a massive 157rwkw!

We lost AFR readings at 5000rpm...they dropped off way past 10:1

The new turbo/bleed valve combo won't hold boost either, this should all be fixed in the next 2 weeks with some nice figures to attach :wave:

    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update 
    • The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.
    • those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done 
    • Freshly built stroked RB25/28. Motor runs great but consumes a lot more oil then It should. This summer with the heat I was consuming roughly a quart per 1800-2000kms. Now with the cold weather coming in, I'm consuming a quart per 1000kms which is no bueno. I had originally chalked this out to break in taking a little longer then it should, but I'm now around 4000km's on this engine. I think it's fair to say something isn't quite right. Here's the kicker, can't find what's causing it. I've also spoken to my engine builder and Precision Turbo and can't figure it out. Here's my train of thought on possible causes and what I've done.  Precision Turbo - I originally started thinking my oil pressure might be a tad too high for my 6466 Gen2. I took the center cartridge out, and while yes there's signs of oil on the turbine heatshield, it's very moderate. There's also very minor in/out play that concerns me. I sent pictures and videos to precision and they said the residue and in/out play is minimal and they doubt this is the issue. For piece of mind, I went ahead and installed a Turbosmart OPR V2 to bring oil pressure down. Made no difference. Precision is willing to take it in on RMA for an inspection and I'll probably take them up on that offer for peace of mind. BTW. Is it just me or does the turbines inducer's look clipped and not even between each other? I just noticed this now while posting and looking at the picture zoomed in. Might just be the picture...  Rings - Hot compression test and leak down test look good. Compression is 160 +-2psi across the board. I leak down at 16% on cyl 1,2,3,5,6 and 18% on cyl4. Keep in mind I have a snap on leak down tester and they read high (I.E, 15% on my wifes 2018 Sentra with 70000kms). Sparkplugs show minimal oil (Only #4 seems to have a tad). At a quart per 1000km's though, I would be expecting them to be wet. Here's the kicker, I run WMI. I'm thinking what if my compression rings are great, but I have an oil control ring issue on cyl4 and my WMI is steam cleaning the pistons and sparkplugs? I can still see the "Spool" logo on top of my CP pistons. The only time I see smoke out of the exhaust is in the high rpm/load range. So far, this is my main culprit. I'll probably turn off my WMI and go out with the car at spring pressure tomorrow and repull the plugs. Other thing that's strange though is that I have never seen any oil in my catch can. Thing is still dry after 4000kms. Cyl1 - Left, Cyl6 - Right. Valve seals - They're new and I would expect oil consumption on idle, first cold start or during decel. None of which is happening.  Crankcase pressure - I have 2x 10an valve cover lines to a vented catch can. Head drain and opened up internal oil drain paths. I also don't run E85. I've never seen any oil in my catch can. Doubtful this is causing any issues.  Rear main seal - I have no visible leaks, but figured maybe it was my rear main seal. After now having added 2-3 quarts, I would expect oil to leak out the bottom drain channel and/or my clutch to be slipping.  Let me know your thoughts. With winter coming and taking the car off the road until spring, I'm fine with pulling the motor apart but I would hate to take it all apart and the turbo was the issue in the end.
