Hi there peoples have a problem not sure if i have detonation or a misfire been having excessive blow by but its been doing that since i had a track day didnt have a problem with pinging or misefire if thats what it is. as soon as full boost hits its wierd sound in one sense it sounds like misfire and then it sounds a jar of ball bearings rattling can some one shed some light on issue >_<

the jar of ball bearings i would guess is pingin gor detonating. Thats very bad. Id consider lowering the boost and make sure u run high octane petrol. If that doesnt minise it try taking timing out. Realyl ur best option is to go to a reputable skyline tuner and have it cheacked.

What mods? What boost? What fuel?

Mods are engine rebuilt arias pistons shotpenned rods fully balanced

microtech

sard 850cc injectors

hks cams 256 264

hks to4z

eboost settings at 17 20 25 psi

running mobile 8000 with 104 octane booster

never had detonation before on all three boost settings

take it to a dyno and get them to put a fuel pressure tester on and do a power test to see whats going on.

If you dont you will blow your engine to pieces.

BTW if you have blow by allready then you could have smashed some rings. do a leak down test.

my engine had lots of blow by and when i pulled it down 5 pistons had cracked / broken rings

Had a leak down test three weeks ago all cylinders except for two were at 15% the other two were at 55 60%

Old chestnut as they say but..........fuel pump failing?

Det is from running too lean, timing to far advanced or carbon hotspots on the pistons [igniting fuel before your sparkplug does].

when i had it dynoed the fuel pump was maxing out took the fuel return line off nothing was going back that was at 25 psi

looks like those cyl are leaking boost into the sump causing the blow by.

id look at re-ringing it and checking the pistons.

Ill be doing that in next few weeks pulling engine out putting total seal iron rings good for hi boost apparently changing rods to to argo rods get them real cheap $800 new replace bearings probably acl and get head flow tested and ported to suit the flow of hks t04z then change to surge tank and dual fuel pumps.

If all goes well hope to crack 400 rwkw fingers crossed

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
