Hi all, its me again with yet another plea for help. I'm hoping someone in the SAU community can help me out.

I have dropped my motor (from k frame) just to be able to remove/work on engine with ease. I am trying to separate the engine from K frame at the moment but I am having issues removing the front LHS shaft. Just wondering is there a trick to removing it?

Below are pictures of the shaft in question.

Any advice/ help is much appreciated!

is that your driveshaft (ie have you got it out that far)? If not you pop it out by taking off the front diff cover and levering it from inside. Detatch the bottom ball joint and sway bar link to swing the strut out for the driveshaft to have enough room to remove it. Hope that helps

but if thos pics are not yours.....getting it started the first time can be really difficult, there is a ciclip in there to stop ths shaft coming out easily. lever it from multiple points between the slot on the driveshaft and the diff cover bolts with bid screwdriver / pry bar.

if you are that far out and stuck you must have it cocked at an anle somehow...straighten by tapping on the side of the driveshaft and it should pop right out.

unless you cant get it any further because the other end is stopping it....in which case doo doo covered it

You need to remove the outer end from the wheel hub first. That entails effectively disassembling the front suspension to get enough movement of the hub to slip off the end of the shaft.

Then use pry bars in the machine slot of the inner end to lever the shaft out of the diff. (no need to remove the diff cover plate).

BTW - that's the RHS shaft. It only appears to be the LH shaft because you are looking at it from the front.

guys,

having the same problem at the moment.

I have separated the shaft at the CV (grease everywhere), but cannot get the inboard part of the shaft out. Have undid the diff cover (only gotten it out about 15mm) hoping that once it is out of the way I might be able to get something behind the shaft end.

Can anyone help with exploded views / diagrams.

      Boost level and torque curve

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
