I have an external wastegate that is venting to the atmosphere and i want to connect it to the exhaust. I don't know if I should connect before the o2 sensor of after as I was thinking of the affect it would have on fuel economy and performance.

Also another issue I have is when I depress the clutch while driving the car stalls but only at a decent speed.

One more thing is that my exhaust temp light goes on after a decent drive and a bit of a heavy foot and car goes into limp mode for a minute.

Please help have had this car for 7 years and since power fc and wastegate just not enjoyable anymore

Thanks

wow kinda all over the place

ok replumbing the external gate shouldnt affect fuel economoy or performance (only if your exhaust is ass it might)

i would replumb the entry point after the 02 sensor

pressing in clutch at high speed and stalling is related to either idle RPM not set (ie too low or high) or you didnt do self idle adjustment properly (covered in PFC FAQ)

check the idle RPM settings and see if you can tweak these a little. if no good you will to do DATA INIT (copy your tune first) then do self idle adjust.

exhaust temp light is NOT used in powerfc

the exhaust temp light is RED

do you mean orange check engine light?

the powerfc users this when a sensor has failed or is outside range

when this happens view ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK. the dead sensor will be blackhighlighted

the powerfc, much like the stock ECU has limp mode for basic sensor failure

this is usually the TPS or AFM. either of these can trigger limp mode, ie rev cap at 2500rpm and shit mappings to save the engine from blowing up

I got carried away in my post.

The light was orange so it must of been engine , I saw it for a second and thought it looked different. I will check what you mentioned.

I cleaned the aac and afm and made difference in performance and idle but there must be something else going on too.

Thanks heaps

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
