Just a quick one....

I have replaced the exhaust, cat, intercooler and pods on my 33 GTR. the Power FC has recoreded some higher then normal knock readings also

Should i get a tune asap? or would it be ok to drive for awhile? As i cant get in for a bit to the tuner i want?

I'd be surprised if those mods were causing higher knock, unless your previous tune was pretty close to the edge. But it's definitely better to be safe than sorry, if it were my car I would assume it is knocking and not drive it hard until you can get a tune. You can still drive it, just don't go loading it up everywhere.

You would think a free'r flowing exhaust and front mount would reduce knock??

If you can't get a tune for a while drive it normally ie without thrashing it until you can get it checked

Out of curiosity what knock readings you getting now?

or just blanket some more fuel on the map, there's a chance with new pods the AFM is reading slightly different causing a lean miture, you don't have a wideband O2 by any chance?

AFMs are sensitive little shits.

Well you didn't need to swap the parts over, it was a choice. Just like it's your choice to go and get a tune sooner rather than later.

So keep babying it and say a little prayer each night.

^^^ haha.. :yes:

maybe this new exhaust system doesnt flow as good as the last and its causing restriction which =knock with the same timing etc.. :whistling:

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
