Both good points.

I'm hoping my one bank rich problem has gone away- I might have fixed it, now just got to wait and see what the car does.

Scotty, your welcome to come up and try to fit on a turbo beanie!!!!tongue.gif

I'm developing a case of the CBF with the car at the moment. It will go away though....whistling.gif

Dale, to be honest, there is no way in hell I'd be taking this out again to coat it.

If I had my time again, I would have taken you up on the offer, and had it done. It'd be well worth it.

That being said, I'm only seeing intake temp of 27 degrees on the freeway @ 110. Round some twists when there is a little more boost, its up to about 31 degrees

Whats that like compared to VQ25dets? I know there will be a difference in the boost, and therefore temp- but what are you guys seeing?

Oh, forgot this pic. This is the cabin filter that was supposedly replaced before I bought the car, next to the new one....domokun.gif

Its not about intake temps, its the rear housing glowing at around 8-900 degrees C that worried me.

My kit is very easy to remove, I can have the turbo out in less than an hour with no hoist. lol. You should have bought the Scotty's Customs kit. :)

But this is the Magical Scotty- I've heard about your prowess- a normal mans 4 hour job is a Scotty 1 hour job!

And it doesn't say HKS on it.... not that I'm a brand whore.... muchwhistling.gif

To Do - Turbo blanket/beanie, and I've got left over heat wrap, so I'll do the dump, and get some flat heat mat on the rest of the firewall.

Alex, how far off was the intercooler piping between the turbo and cooler and also the dump pipe?

You gonna wrap/coat the pipe from the cooler to the TB?

We need to talk.... some more

Wat?

See no point wrapping/coating intake piping, unless its to make it less noticeable in the engine bay.

Turbo outlet to intercooler is custom. Used some parts of the kits piping, but most had to be fabricated. Fabricator asked to remain nameless.

Just a thought. Engine bay is hot (especially without heat shields over the exhaust manifolds), air is cooled by the intercooler but then must travel the length of the engine bay to the TB.

Would it make much of a difference? Maybe, maybe not. Made a big difference to the touch on my NM35's suction pipe (even the top bend at the rear of the airbox)

The manifolds do have heat shield- HKS supplied- yours didn't?

The temp of air at the AFM which is right in the middle of the engine bay is only 26-31 degrees. I think wrapping the turbo would be more of a priority.

I thought they did, but couldn't remember nor picture them this morning (could only picture the OEM heatshields and I know they didn't go back on).

Ok, I'm going to cut and paste comments from 350z club- I was hoping for some feed back on a problem I got, but I have nil response there. So here goes. And I'ma slap the first C34 owner that says coilpacks....ninja.gif

I have currently found my car has a issue. The car is a Stagea, with a VQ35de motor, and auto gearbox. Most componants are shared with a 350z.I have installed the HKS single turbo kit. Car is currently running stock injectors/plugs and pump, and obviously isn't getting driven hard. I have aftermarket versions of all, but am holding off putting them in. I have a tuner version of Uprev for my car. I first noticed that the car and a uneven idle, and smelt rich. Using Uprev cipher I had a look at the values- first thing I noticed was that the injector Pluse width was uneven across the banks. One bank was sitting on about 2.8ms, and the other fluctuated around 3.8-4.0ms- meaning one side is running richer than the other. With the HKS Kit, all 4 sensors are positioned in the turbo dump pipe. All sensors are active, and have similiar readings- ie- sensors are not dead. The car runs well in open loop, but has a stumble only when it switches to closed loop- ie crusing at light throttle, or at idle. I did some logging with uprev, and the AFR at idle seems to be good at around 14.7-15.0, and both sensors apear to read the same value. I also graphed the comparison between banks, and it appears around the 80%/120% range The problem has been getting worse as the ECU is learning its fuel trim. The engine uses a returnless fuel rail, so one side isn't getting more fuel pressure than the other I have the ability to turn on and off sensors using uprev, and that was going to be my next step. Any sugestions from the experts would be welcome. I don't really want to take my car anywhere, and I don't trust mechanics with it, and furthermore, very few mechanics can live up to what they say they can do. There is a very similar case on my350z.com, but with nil answers.

Update - I had the data open this morning, and cleared the learned fuel settings. That instantly improved idle and the balance between the two banks. I don't know exactly how long its taken to re-learn that imbalance, but it was a couple of days. Looking at the data,the most variance between the widebands is 0.01, while the Banks have a inj pluse width of 2.9ms and 4.1 ms.

Update- So, I unplugged one top O2 sensor thus making the car only run in open loop- ran fine. I re-connected it today, and the problem was instantly back - EXCEPT- it switched sides. IE the other bank is now too rich, and its pulling fuel from the original problem bank. Unplugged both lower sensors and reset learned fuel. It was ok, but learned the problem again in about 35kms.

So Any thoughts here?

Did you ask the guys at Uprev?

I don't suppose this is a dumb question, but would this be solved at all by putting in the new injectors?

Otherwise take it back to your Bro Dealer and see if he can smash it with a hammer until it's fixed? :domokun:

I'm currently in an email back and forth with Mark @ Abbeymotorsport. He has been very helpful with the issue. Using Uprev I can log engine data and send it to him- he's taking a look and seeing if he can figure it out.

Will consider hammer option....Or beat it with a stick option...

Hi Alex

You said that originally the O2 sesnors were in separate pipes for each bank.

Just a thought.... would repositioning one o2 sensor further from the exhaust port on the block effect the reading that it see's or is expecting to see?

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy- The sensors themselves are reading a very similar voltage- and it seems that they are within factory tolerances as per the Service manual.

Just leave it in closed loop, you won't want it learning after the tune anyway.

Hey Scott, Do you mean open loop? My problem exists on Closed loop- ie O2 sensors active. As soon as I hit the throttle, and it pops out into open loop, the injector pulse become near identical, and it runs fine. Looking at it now, I have disconnected one O2 sensor and its running in open loop- the AFR is much steadier, and Inj pluse is near equal across banks.

can you put the original map back in and see how it runs on that?

it may be an uprev thing

Hi Iain, the problem existed before I flashed the ECU- Before I had touched the settings. The flash that I used contains all the stock settings, and has not effected the problem at all- it still exists.

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
