So I've done what you said:

result : a tiny bit better but problem still there.

Just to say, in these tests I got the knock sensors wired to the ECU but not screwed to the block.

here is the map :

http://www.2shared.c.../RB30DET15.html

fuel map with some more injection timing.

here is the log :

http://www.2shared.c...9-04_2139_.html

Something very scary on the log, Full throttle with 0.5bar I take 60° of advance... about 25° when 50% throttle.

I was running always between 11 and 12 AFR, and about 500 to 600°Celsius max EGT.

Some more ideas ???

An update, I found i'm in the end of the load scale when I boost on full throttle so that must be why I have so much timing.

And also looking at my log, I find no boost at all all the time. But in this log I took up to around +0.5 bar of boost regarding my HKS EVC boost controller.

So it means my map sensor is dead... ??? it is the only wires that took hot with the fire... maybe the sensor took hot too... ??

Map sensor unplugged and guess what : The car works perfectly ! !

The man who'll map my car told me if the car works properly without the map sensor, just let it unplugged. It could prevent for new boost problem when high boosting.

Thanks for people in this topic for helping me. ;)

  • 3 weeks later...

A little shitty update.

Some days after have found the map sensor problem , I put my endoscopic camera to watch cylinders as I knew the engine must have knocked.

I found attached pictures that showed me my dead new forged engine. Lot of €uros spent out... :/

I discovered that my map sensor is still working. giving good values. and this untill the ECU wire. (don't know for now if the ECU plug works correctly.)

the nistune allways shows boost at 0psi when looking at logs.

The car runs bad as I told previously when boost sensor is plugged.

Car works correctly when i disconnect the plug OR the hose. quite strange I guess...

(I tried another map sensor and another ECU)

Another thing is that i have 5° sent out from ECU at idle. And I should have 15° as in all RB25DET's ...

Maybe it has something to do with the map sensor issue...

And I knocked that much because at the beginning I settled 15° on my CAS and I should have setteled 5° as ECU asked for.

So I had always 10° of timing more than I should.

I building a stock internals RB25 to replace the 30...

If someone has an idea for the map sesor and the 5° things... Don't hesitate !

I don't know about compressions as I haven't tested. But I guess they are stil ok as the cylinder aren't scratched vertically.

But the car began to rattle quite a bit those last kilometers. Some cylinders don't ignite often.

My Knock led lights as soon as I get 0.2 bar WOT.

Nistune Consult shows usual things :

1st: that TCS is unplugged.

2nd : boost sensor unplugged too.

Nothing more.

Have u logged gnition timing in consult to ensure the ignition is outputting what u are commanding in the timing map?

The pinging may be now due to the small pits on the pistons causing hot spots.

What spark plugs are u using?

I'm using NGK BKR7EIX

And yes I made a special timing map puting 15° of timing beginning at 1/4 throttle (20 of load) and 15° untill full load.

I still don't go over 3500rpm as it is knocking very hard now. (knock led lights full time at full load :/ )

The result is good because my ECU sends the 15° i asked to the sparks. (consult panel on nistune)

And has the CAS is well settled now, so no reason for OEM knock sensors to modify the timing... HUM... Actually, I know i'm knocking and the OEM knock sensor don't change the 15°... I find that weird...

Maybe my knock led light www.viatrack.ca doesn't speak good... but I settled it correctly I guess.

Or maybe it is bacause I haven't changed the "knock timing map" to less than 15°. the map is quite like RB25neo standard map.

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
