Is There A Problem?

Hey every one.

I was reading through some of the topics on here on the VG30 single turbo and they all state that full boost kicks in at 2800-3200rpm.

However mine kicks in above 3500rpm-4000rpm. The car I have is a R32 with the stock RB20.

the mods i have are:

Front mount intercooler

Pod and CAI

VG30 plastic/ceramic wheel ball bearing turbo

3 inch exhaust

AVCR

Stock R32 ECU

I have uploaded a video so you can see the revs vs boost, it’s in bar, it hits about 0.85 bar. The VG30 also is using the standard rb20 turbo's actuator as everyone said the VG30 actuator is no good, hence the reason why it hits around 0.85 bars.

The link is : http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=TqtF4yWCAkU

i just wanted to know whether this is to laggy for the vg30 or is this ok?

Also what could be the reasons why it is so laggy? is there anything i should check to see whether something is restricting it, i also don’t feel much pull, after taking it to a workshop they said it should pull much more harder on boost.

Thanks every one.

Yep, that's pretty much it buddy, smaller displacement motor so you have to rev it more to feed the turbo with exhaust gasses... You could always chuck in an RB25 :P

hey mate, that was my first idea, but then. the info i got where they said full boost was from 2800rpm-3200rpm they where all used in rb20's..

yer but isnt the rb25 a tad smaller then vg30? coz they say the rb25 and vg30 is litrely the same

Rb25 smaller than vg30??? Two different things dude.

Yer a collapsed cat converter can cause slower spool up, simple way to check is to take it off! Get your car on a hoist or some jacks and unbolt it (real easy like 4 bolts) If you can't see through it then your in trouble.

Where there other mods involved to get it spooling that fast on a rb20? Like an exhaust cam gear?

nah there wasnt any cam gear's on them but then agian they had retuned the ecu where mine is just a stock r32, so thats most likley why

thanks for the help niran

A good electronic boost controller will also help the spool up and the consistency of the boost

yer i installed An AVCR last weekend, just getting the hang of it now, so ill keep playing around with it and get it all running sweet hopefully..

Yeah if you dont have the AVC-R setup correctly you can have low boost in some areas etc.

Play around with Duty a bit and then setup the RPM specific settings (Bar Graph).

hey mate, thanks for that yer i shall keep trying with the avcr see if any can get the boost to come on any better.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
