Hey I got a few questions for you guys. I just bought a 1989 GTS-t. It has aftermarket exhaust, intercooler, intake, bov, and tuned computer. The deal is it idles kinda rough and when you let off the gas after revving it up the RPMs drop way low like 450 or so, it almost stalls. Another thing is horrible, I mean awful performance. I tested it from 0-100km/h and it took 8.869secs!!! Not anywhere close to stock! I'm hoping that it needs a tune-up really bad. Maybe a fried spark plug or a bad ignition coil. Could one of these things cause the performance to be that bad?

your nearly stalling problem after revving it up is due to the BOV. the spring tension needs to be increased a bit, simple fix if your bov is adjustable. Sounds like you need to get a good tune

- theres no way you can be in japan?! why on earth would you need advice from australia?

And you no write broken englis.

check this thread:

curiously, changing to copper plugs gapped @8mm fixed my stalling problem - so it seems it could be any one of three issues

BOV, fuel pressure or in my experience, plugs !

must be difficult for you not speaking Nihongo...

Good Luck with it.

netrati,

have a look at this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...s=&threadid=408 could also be the problem at low revs.

Plugs never hurt, esp as NGK coppers are about AUD$20 a set, clean your afm, change the fuel filter and reset the ecu - different car (hopefully) :)

I had dramas with the previous owner's adjustment on my Blitz BOV, a simple tweak and she was running sweet. But now that I've just plugged in the Power FC (yet to be tuned), yeah I get higher revs when first turning the car on (like 1400rpm), but it rarely comes back down to where it would ordinarily idle wehn warm on the stock computer (700rpm). And when decelerating coming up to a roundabout for example at 30km'h in 2nd, as I exit the roundabout my revs will rise and I can actually increase my speed without touching the accelerator. I know the base program is not so great - typically running rather rich - but is the car feeding more fuel to the engine and at the same time being misread as throttle when the clutch is out and my foot's off the accelerator? WTF?

The mind boggles. There I go, having a spit when all it probably needs is a tune...

Anyone ever experienced anything similar though?

Cheers!

OMG. u're in japan! Can u get me some parts? - I hear 18" rims r only $400/$500 there 2nd hand. I want some! lol.

Back to ur question. my bov did the samething. after like 2 weeks, i reset the ecu once too, everything was fine. Guess i was just lucky. anywayz how about those rims :) I'm pretty sure there will be a few guys in Japan who can help u out - $ is an universal language of requiring their services.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
