rs73 electronics could stuff up more quickly then some mechanical ways...eg heat from enigine, u know how electronics are sometimes unpredicatble and can fail etc etc...do u have a boost gauge or anything..i know some people set thiers up on a dyno and let it be...but its not always the best way to make sure everything is running good..

I have no money (cash strap) to justify spending like $200 at that time. And as the bleed valve has been dynoed 3 times and did not spike, I was led to believe that it would never spiked.

Now it has spiked, the law of physic has defeat the valve, and detonates my engine :)

I've learn the hard way. Do not let the same thing that happens to me, happens to you too. So please don't judge me now, I've got enough headache with the problem and $$$ to try to fix this by:

- replacing the bleed valve with EBC

- getting my engine checked out thoroughly

- getting a more reliable boost gauge

At least i'm lucky the car is still running and turbo is still boosting (set to std boost 7psi now)...

yeah, no use whinging now...

Just get it replaced... my target is i wanna see a CONSISTENT 160rwkw minimum out of my car before the end of 2003.

If that target is fulfilled, next year I will aim for 180rwkw, then 200rwkw before end of 2004.

I have the GFB Atomic. Its pretty good; very little spiking. I recommend it. However boost tapers off about 1 psi up at the top end (past 6krm). But i think thats a charateristic of most bleeders and only a EBC can fix.. Btw Im running the stock cooler so that could be the problem...

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
