im running a HKS GT2530kai with a stock ECU and SAFC II, is this bad? can the same prob. occur with mine if i boost it too much?

it all depends on your ability to tune the SAFC, but if the SAFC is tuned with acceptable air fuel ratio's and the engine isn't pinging out of it's brain, as in this case, then no.

my SAFC was originally tuned with the stock turbo was on, i havnt tuned it with the 2530 yet, but it seems to be running fine at 1 bar so far, anything over 16psi and i get fuel cut..

im hoping a Z32, Walbro pump and re-tuning of the SAFC will fix this problem..

P.S. Sorry for stealing thread l0WRB

yeah i woudnt be boostin it over 7psi! trust me i never heard once Detonation, i owned 2 vl calais turbos b4 my 33 and i know wot detonation sounds like! then again once aarons highflow turbos come onto max boost there fkn loud as!

wow look at the green 32 in the background of the photo 7 of the first group of pics.

looks like it goes alright haha.

yeah its only got 400rwhp and some random dude called nick81xd owns it, how random he is building my engine 2? haha the white skinny guy in the pic!

quick update

ive decided on putting in a set of wiseco forged pistons with new rings and some big end bearings and new head gasket and bolting it all back together..i dont know if it's worth shot peening the rods..anyone else had problems with standard rods at 300rwhp?

rods will be fine, are you fitting oversize pistons? i would agree with paul, that there is no way the highflow has caused this directly, i would be checking your fuel pump, and your breather setup. I bought a vl with an r34 motor with 4 cracked pistons due to the breather hooked up to the intercooler piping, which meant the turbo was pressurising the crankcase causing detonation at 7 psi.

i installed a walbro 255ltr fuel pump and car had a catch can hooked up both breathers were venting to a filter thru the catch can so i dont think it would be any of the above...hmmm mite get the injectors cleaned and flowed

Im not sure, but ive heard bed things about the walbro's ability to flow at higher fuel pressures, i doubt that its injectors, as 4 of them would have to be blocked for this to happen. I suppose the other thing that could cause this is an afm problem causing it to run lean. How do the plugs look? And is the cas near the centre of its adjustment?

walbros seem fine if u get a proper one,i know of a few mates cars making 400rwhp with this same pump..when i first imported the car start of last yr it felt really sluggish..noticed the timing was set at 0 degrees..set it to 15degrees and left it at that..and the cas is more like all the way left arm down..

Have a quick look arounf for a set of RB26 rods. They should be cheap as dirt given how cheap aftermarket ones are. They are a straight bolt in and vastly stronger than the 25 rods. I've seen plenty of broken RB25 rods, never seen a broken 26 rod in that type of application.

hahahahahahaha OH MAN. that is so funny. Who the hell did that?

ohhh yeah can we see some clear pics of the broken pistsons?

cheers

this is the best piston outta the 4..the worst one i left in a mates car!

but you can see the cracks pretty easy

also a picture of the bore in cyclinder 3 where the piston ringlands fell apart once the pist came out

not a mark in there

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 馃槄
