Something Weird Happening With The New Turbo..seems Like Its Stalling?!?

Hey guys, as some of you may know, not long ago I needed some help about driving my car untuned with a new turbo, injectors, afm and fuel pump, before I was going to get a tune.

I put in the turbo so far, getting a fuel pump this week and then put the rest in over the weekend or so....

but something a little strange seems to be happening to my car at the moment, with just the new turbo in...

The car is running brilliantly at the moment... even though its untuned I can tell there is alot more power... the only concern I have is that after I hit boost ( which comes on really fast and really quick - (2,600 - 3,000 ) and let off the accelerator and go into neutral... ie rolling to the red lights... the revs drop as normal...... but they go too low... they may drop bellow 400rpm or 100rpm and the car may even stall on itself... this only happens in neutral when revs are free... not when I am rolling to the lights in a gear after hitting boost and the revs are a much slower controlled drop.

These are my assumptions: (tell me if you have any other ideas what it could be)

1. Crappy tune- especially not for this turbo and the rest of the stuff I am going to put on (but we already knew this)

2. Standard Blow off valve not doing its job correctly any more because of bigger turbo (only running about 11psi though) and some of the air it lets back into the turbo and the other goes back the other way making the cho cho cho sound and goes out through the pod making the afm read negative numbers so it drops the rpm and retards timing,etc... so it almost stalls...

3. Timing belt/actuator i don't know??!? timing belt was changed about 40,000 kms ago....

so to help this I have heard I should relocate the afm meter to around the throttle body area and/or get a new BOV but I want something legal.... so maybe like a GTR one.... but I still don't know...

Thanks for the help in advance.

Adam.

Firstly why the hell are you boosting the car with A)A bigger turbo B)Standard fuel pump and injectors? :banana:

Your AFM will be the blame for the fluctuating revs due to the increased airflow,and going a bit crazy as its not tuned for it.

Gives a totally new meaning to fixing something that aint broke... She is broke because its untuned.

Get it tuned. Fix the problems after its tuned, if there are any!

lol... that was the first question I knew I was going to get .... just wanted to wait and see who was going to say it ! but to answer your question... it is very hard not to.... considering how quick the boost comes on... and how low it does.... I also forgot to mention I have a powerfc... but with a crappy tune.. I am not running on a stock ecu.... and thank you for confirming what I thought about the afm...but is it anything to do with the bov because it is making the woosh sound as well as the cho cho cho( so I thought some air is going around and some is coming back out the pod)

so if it is the afm... when I chuck in the z32 that I have... do I relocate it or will it do better once tuned in the same spot? I would like to keep it where it currently is...

You wont know it was running lean untill you blow it up. pull it appart and think... "maybe i should have waited to tune it before boosting it"

If your that short scrapped for cash PM me maybe i can do you a credit tune

Its simple dude,dont boost the car at all until you get the other mods done.Especially the tune.

But you will only be getting it tuned when you get all the other mods done.Reason being is the car wont run with bigger injectors,plus you will need to change the AFM settings on the PFC once the Z32 is wired in.

If you can hear flutter (cho cho cho sound) the air is bouncing out of the turbo back towards the AFM, AFM tells the ECU to add more fuel, ECU adds more fuel, not enough air, car stalls.

As stated above a tune *should* fix it. But i have no experience with hypergear turbos they may suffer compressor suge, either way see how you go.

ok, thats interesting... I don't know about the compression surge your talking about but yeh, I was hoping a tune would help the afm issue... I believe I am getting boost spikes as well..but I havent put my foot down enough to know for sure, but is that a symptom of the surge as well?

thanks,

Adam

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
