So my cars at the tuners getting the new GTX3076R put on with nismo 740cc injectors and exhaust. Its got a rebuilt bottom end with a re-co'd head. Its already got plenty of supporting mods such as Bosch 044 fuel pump, FMIC, Wolf 3D v4. Rang them up today to see how things are coming along and they say the cars detonating in the top end and they're not sure why.

So they asked me what kind of fuel I put in it. I put in a fresh near full tank of Caltex 98 right before I took it to them. They seem to think that may be the problem as Caltex runs a different blend of ethanol, possibly?

So they're going to drain the caltex and try BP ultimate tomorrow.

Can I get some input please, this is kind of worrying me and I'm questioning they're abilities.

Let them check the fuel 1st then go from there. Did they mention the power it was making ? If around 270-280 at 18lbs it would seem about right. But if all goes according to plan there should be 290rwkws there. If the head was shaved I hope you used a 1.2 0r 1.6mm head gasket.

So you add 0.2-0.6mm for every 0.005" they take off the head?

No they didn't mention the power it was making, I forgot to ask. The wastegate is set to 14 or 16psi. Its a standard headgasket, pretty sure :wacko:

They built the motor in the hands of the previous owner so i assumed they would of known what they were doing. I hope so anyway.

are they familiar with rb and turbos? sounds bad they have no pointers on why it's detonating? o44 & 740s should have plenty of fuel, maybe try somewhere else before they run out of det. time?

I assume it should be, they're professionals, they should know what they're doing.

They didn't have time to try it today. They put fresh BP in but no time to tune it. Updates tomorrow.

You need to get your car outta that shop ASAP before they knock the bearings out of it (if it hasnt already) or worse... detonating in the top end = big trouble!! Its also the hardest to hear/detect so if they're certain thats whats happening i would be really concerned if i was you... To say they dont know why its detonating is reason enough for any person to question there ability. You need to ask questions like How timing have they put in at the point of det? What are the lambda readings at that point? If those questions arnt answered quickly and confidently then its obvious they dont know what they're doing.

It's sabbadin automotive if people are wondering. I tried to get into JPC but they were being lazy, arrogant regards. Customer service was the worst I've seen.

The tuners pulled the intercooler off and found oil in the bottom, so pretty sure the seals in the old turbo are stuffed. Cooler is getting sent away Monday to get cleaned. Hopefully fixes my issues.

Its more than likely just oil from the cam cover breathers. U may need a catch can to help prevent it filling up the cooler. Most cars will have oil in the cooler.

Is it blowing any blue smoke?

Is the cam timing and base ignition timing correct?

What intake pipe are u running to the turbo?

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
