How To Tune To Stop Flutter/bovs Causing Stalling.

Just out of curiousity where/what would you change in the tune to stop AFM cars stalling when running with a atmo bov/no bov causing flutter. I know you can tune it out as VL turbos and R31 redtop rb20dets never came with bovs and fluttered from the factory without stalling.

I imagine the cause of the stalling is where it runs very rich just after throttle off, would simply pulling all fuel from ~400rpm fix the issue? So when it stumbles it doesn't add even more fuel causing it to stall? Have any tuners looked at the stock redtop tunes to see what is different? I personally run the stoc recirc valve but I'm curious what the difference is.

One thing I have noticed is the redtop rb20s have a strange cylinder sticking out the intake that leads to nothing. This is post AFM and looks a bit like a buffer, could this be what they used to stop the stalling issues? Eg it buffers the fluctuations in pressure in the intake causing less AFM voltage fluctuation?

That would be a resonant chamber - just for noise tuning, although they can have a little influence on total power (in NA engines) by affecting the resonances in the inlet tract. I wouldn't expect any such effect upstream of a turbo however.

I would think that playing with the timing at the low rev high(er) load cells would be needed as well as fiddling with the mixtures. Kinda depends on what load cells it's actually accessing when the stall occurs though, because you wouldn't want to have to butcher the tune in those cells if they also happened to be cells that were accessed during normal operation, which is entirely possible.

Totally agreed, mainly why I mentioned the 400rpm cells as these would never really be accessed apart from when starting or the engine is stalling.

If anyone does have stock redtop rb20 maps, would you be able to look at these areas to see if there is anything stand out that might have been done for this reason?

Is this just an rb20 thing as Ive had my rb25 tuned with atmo bov (it was easier to install that way, less plumbing less fab) and I have no stalling issues, tuner did say the bov was quite good at staying closed and zero leak at the wrong times...

Got any p/n's for ECU that came with bovless vehicles? I can check maps in Nistune and post 'em here.

Apparently some BOV users accept this fact.

And still have that little shimmer of hope that a girl will hear it, strip naked, and dive into their car. (Hopefully before it coughs up a heap of black smoke and stalls)

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, Apologies in advance if this feels like a topic covered multiple times. I'm only asking because some of the old topics I found are missing images now. I'm in the process of getting a manual boost controller (BC). Nothing fancy, just getting a manual one for now as I don't plan to go crazy with it and would not go over 10 PSI. My car is not jacked up on boost steroids to do crazy numbers. I want to understand the OEM setup of the boost solenoid and vacuum lines on the R34 GTT so I know what needs to be changed when I do install the BC. I sketched the current setup to the best I could see and it's on the diagram attached. If the boost controller 'Wastegate Arrow' goes from nipple 1 to 2. My understanding is that the red vacuum line's "F" connector-end should be connected to BC nipple #2? Nipple #1 is meant to have the "pressure source" so what vacuum line would that be? Is it the green vacuum line?  From what I have read here, the OEM boost solenoid is not used at this point. So that can come out and then I can just plug the nipple that usually connects to the blue vacuum line?  So would the final setup look something like this?   Thanks in advance. I don't want to already be knee-deep into pulling out vacuum lines before understanding this. I'm a noob when it comes to boost setups so trying to learn as I go.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Initial/early bite is a feature of.....generic pads. Things that work cold. Just put Bendix Ultimate in it. If you don't like them, it's only $3.50 wasted and an hour to change them. I've been using Intima SR, and they seem to be a good performance pad. Street friendly and able to take at least a little beating.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
