Im in the process of starting a engine swap and this thread is inspiring me to forget the 25, and go with a 30 setup, in my r32!!

Im guessing the potential of the 30 is significantly higher than the 25, and if im there i may as well go all out,

like mentioned earlier, im replacing the original motor, might as well have the potential there for future perfomance gains.

thanx guys...for making me wanna spend more money...lol

great thread, ill be keepin an eye on this one.

Cheers

The tradeoff between a 25 and a 30 (unless you're going to spend BIG dollars on the 30) is revs for torque. Similar mods (internal and external) both engines would likely make around the same power, the 30 would make it a lot sooner but unless you build it to rev to 8k the 25 will be able to make similar power due to the higher revs (that's my theory anyway..).

I went for the 30 because I was offered a forged bottom end for a good price, going from the 20 to the 30 was amazing.. the abundance of torque in practically any gear is arousing.. the 20 would never pull up a hill at 2000rpm in 5th! I love it!

      Unless things that you want to do include reference to time. Simple Boolean logic is only good for digital inputs or analogues that have been thresholded into digitals. But unless you also have a timer function available (which would more ideally be located inside the program, rather than being forced to implement a timer outside the ECU and bring it in as a seperate digital for every time delay you want to implement), then you can't do some of the things that you might want to do. My PLC ladder logics are obviously littered with program blocks, because that's easier than building it all in ladder gates, but the most frequent of those program blocks is a simple timer, because you actually can't otherwise do that in ladder at all.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Log voltage. I'm suspecting the alternator. Or even maybe a bad earth somewhere. ie, seeing as it is rev dependent, I am thinking it is alternator dependent.

      Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.

      You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.

      Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?
