Hi all

Well tonight my bro was driving and being stupida as we all do, late at night, nice and cold outside, and my car went all the way to 14psi after the FMIC, so propably 16psi on the turbo side.

I have a FMIC and turbo back exhaust, SAFC II tuned and HKS pod, ect ect, stock boost controller, and the boost went up top 14 psi. I am looking at a GIZZMO IBC but this is weird. The highest i ever saw it before was 12psi, but normally lucky to see 10psi.

What the hell is goign on and how do i fix it untill the GIZZMo is in????

And befor i get flamed, it was on a dual higway with just us two and NOOOOOO cars, and it was my brother.

So you're seeing 14 instead of 12psi? Easy answer could simply be that at night you're seeing boost spiking abit higher due to the colder denser air. I see my boost jump up to 9-10psi at night from the 8psi I see during the day on my ProfecB2.

Off topic, I remember you writing a thread about the SAFC. Have you been able to rid the notoriouse R&R using the SAFC?

Well it sure scared the hell out of me. But yeah i am sure it had to do with teh cold night and denser air. Can't wait for an EBC to fix things.

As for the R&R, yess i managed to get rid of most of the issues, we bumped teh fuel pressure up, only 3 psi and then tuned down the SAFC to the point where the R&R disapeared, but the stock computer not taking timming out.

It took some time, and there is still a little flat spot, but not as obvious as it was.

Having done all this i just purchased a mines ECU, so we see how that goes.

perhaps your exhaust is the problem, if it is free flowing enough air will go through the turbo still when the wastegate is open. air goes the easiest way...is that a tiny wastegate hole or the already spinning turbo with nothing behind it?

can someone please lend a knowing ear?

you can't get much more free flowing them mine, 3" dump, no cat, and an oval 3" muffler with 4" tip. it's free alright. LOL

I think it's the stock boost controller not working with so many modifications.

Shut up and grow some balls.

Big deal, my brother was driving wayyy over the limit, not like you haven't done it. So give up. I try not to do it, my brother was driving as it was his first drive ever in my car.

RELAX. it was very late, no cars on the stretch of highway we were on, and even if there was, centre divide so I couldn't hit them anyway. I am getting sick and tired of people thinking that if you speed, you are dead. I have been racing on tracks since I was 13, have had accidents and learned, never do anything stupid on the real roads, and if you look at my driving record, it's %100 clean, and I have been driving for 8 years.

SO lay off grow some balls and stop pretending that you leave in a society where people are perfect, your not and neither is anyone else.

THE END.

So before you call people a moron, GET YOUR FACTS STREIGHT. just cos your the MOD, don't mean stuff to me.

I think it was more they dont want to be seen promoting speeding as this is a public forum. Talking about drifting/speeding/doing burnouts in public areas you will find is a no no on these forums. Would you really want to see a newspaper article laying shit on 'hoons' and a big screenshot of these forums with people bragging about what they have done?

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
