Hey guys,

Just wondering if you can give me an idea of what might be happening with my car

94 GTS25T Mods: Exhaust, Cooler, Pod and Power FC only use BP Ultimate and Royal Purple Oil

thursday night i had an intercooler pipe pop off and the car stalled was a little hard to start but once going again all seemed fine.

I did an oil and filter change on friday night also put on new silicone hoses for IC pipe

i feel as though since saturday night the car was running a little rough then lastnight late (was quite cold night)

i was heading home and the engine light was came on at 4500rpm the knock reached 136 so i babied it home

let it cool down for an hour while i stood there looking at the engine like a fool took it fo another short drive and the same thing happened

I did to put a bottle of Nulon Injector cleaner in my tank on saturday not sure if this could have anything to do with it though?

on the way to work today i did take it really easy but got the revs upto about 5500 twice which saw knock reach 35

so yeh any ideas on what the reason for the knock getting so high? Is it safe to drive it like this?

I think the car has not been tuned for atleas 15,000ks mabye even 20,000k could this be the reason - do cars just get out of tune??? or is this likely to be something more mechanical like a broken/melted/worn part?

cheers,

Dan

paulr33 - i just read that whole article awesome work now i feel like i need to go lay down to take all that information in!

i think i will take it to someone to get it tuned as i would like to put in a Z32 AFM, new fuel pump and mabye an AVCR then i can get it all setup at the one time and get the car fully retuned

you just seem to hear so many varied opinions on who to get to tune you car it is so hard to know who to trust!!!

Cold = more knock? I thought knocking was a heat issue in the first place since its basically early combustion? Have i been looking at it backwards the whole time?

its both.

Cold air = More air = leaner more unstable mixtures = Knock.

Heat soak or hot air = hot fuel = unstable mix = knock.

you need to get it somewhere in between, or tune the car on a stinking hot day, and you'll never knock out in the cold.

Thats how I tune my car.

Also, cold air can make your turbo boost an extra psi sometimes, and lean the car out, causing knock. Get an electronic boost controller.

    • Haven’t had the chance to drive it yet with work being a nightmare, will definitely be doing that at some point this week. got these so that grip won’t be an issue at roll racing  
    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
