I spent the last two nights working on the GTR:

1) Removed all the recirculation piping right back to the turbo inlet pipes, and blocked the holes in the rubber inlet hoses. It was previously blocked off before the splitter pipe in front of the rubber inlet hoses (I have an atmo BOV, so no need for the recirculation piping)

2) Moved my boost solenoid to a better location (slightly longer lines)

3) Fitted up all the factory breather hoses and PCV valve

4) Cleaned the AFMs wiht contact cleaner

Started the car up tonight, it ran fine for the first KM down the road, now it runs like poo! :blink:

stutters and barely holds revs before stalling.

What have i done?????

*worried*

not plugged in the AFM's properly... clean the afm plugs with contact cleaner...

hmms, i did tape up the connectors a bit, and did push them in till they clicked... would that explain why it ran fine for the first 1km down the road tho?

hmm, maybe one of the parts u blocked may hav unblocked somehow and caused an intake leak,,just check them all again,, and did u make sure ur afm was completely dry before putting it back in?

boost gauge is only reading -15psi instead of -20 vacuum, so there has to be a vacuum leak somewhere. will suss it out better tonight.

well, still no luck after another 6 hours spent..

I have:

checked all intercooler hoses/clamps

checked all breather hoses/clamps

checked my HKS BOV

checked all intake hoses/clamps

re-cleaned AFM elements, connectors, and even took the covers off to look for dry solder joints

re-fitted the recirculation piping the way it was previously.

still idles rough, and hunts for revs at 1500rpm, and when i tap the accelerator, it stalls

anyone got any other ideas? its driving me nuts, and i want it running for the weekend!

have taken it back to Simon at Morpowa or atleast rung him???

im sure he be able to fix it

he tunes my 33, had an idle problem ages ago n he managed to track it down

Sounds like dry solder joints in AFM, did you dab some new solder on while you had the lid off? You wont be able to see the crack in the joint, its usually where the plug comes in.

A vac leak shouldn't affect driving too much, just idle. You can sometimes find them by spraying aerostart or carb cleaner around the plenum.

I can come over with consult/laptop to have a look

have you tried simply re-setting your ecu (ie disconnect battery for 10mins, pump brake a few times)

atmo bov - why? the stock gtr bov should be fine tbqh.

hey mate

car is sitting at JMS for Brady to look at

haven't reset the ECU no. (its a PowerFC)

As for the BOV, I had to remove the stock ones because they were in the way of the front right wheel on full lock...

Plus, I save a heap of weight over the front wheels by removing nearly 10 kilos of cast alloy pipes, recirculation pipes, etc.

is the engine check light ON? if so, its a sensor (ie AFM dead or unplugged)

check the hand controller, ETC SENSOR SW CHECK, anything odd?

if all ok, its a cooler pipe / joiner

would explain psi then running like 8psi

problem all fixed and rectified.

breather hoses were affecting AFM readings, causing an epic fuel overload, and fouling the plugs. new plugs, and i bunged up the breather hoses and it will see me till a retune!

thanks for all the ideas guys! much appreciated!

good to see you've got it sorted. just out of interest.

was there somethign wrong with the breather hoses themselves, or were they fitted loose or something..

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
