I had heard it was load related but I don't understand what that means... don't a certain amount of revs mean a certain amount of air is flowing in and out of the engine (hence spooling up the turbo), loaded up or not?

I was asking b/c I was talking to a mate about why auto's are better than manuals and he said that the stall converter in an auto allows boost from launch (true)

I think this is how it works:

The computer will dump in more full under different load point on the fuel map. Therefore when you are in neutral there is no load on the engine so not as much fuel therefore not as much exaust to spool up the turbo...

Launch control on the other hand retards the ignition so the fuel gathers and explodes in the exaust manifold with creates the flow to spool up the turbo...

Correct me if iam wrong...

Retarded ignition means that the combustion has less chance of doing useful work, so it will either burn at the bottom part of the compression stroke or once the exhaust valve opens. I've heard that retarded timing can burn your valves, but probably only on older engines.. But yes, retarded timing means a given fuel/air mixture is doing less useful work on the engine and therefore you can use more air/fuel to run at the same point (which is fine if you are in neutral and want your turbo spinning, but useless if you want to accelerate).

"I can get plenty sideways without boost and fat 255 tyres :) Of course boost picking up soon after launch helps it stay sideways, but I've never needed it off the mark."

well as soon as the clutch is droped there is Load...... Thus boost!

thats if the clutched is droped when the rpms are at a good level!

Well if you give it a quick rev you will generate boost as the engines temporary loaded accelerating its own rotating mass, but thats very short, so thats why you hear the bov when you give it a quick stab... which can make you launch abit harder if you time it right... autos have boost because of the resistance/load from the torque converter...

I know of a few conversions where a rb20det turbo and manifold has been fitted to a rb25de (changed ecu and injectors obviously) and that made boost at idle.... looks weird when you go to take it for a test drive and the gauge is sitting at 5psi while its just idling away...

you just said that you can get plenty sideways without boost!!

just commenting that most likley it is With boost!

 

cheers:)

Oh :) Well, the initial wheel spin happens without boost, and I daresay it wouldn't really need boost to continue (although boost makes it easier). So although I am getting boost by a certain stage, I doubt it's absolutely required.

Any NA SKyline owners want to confirm or deny that?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
