Car Cannot Take Timing

Car is sorted, faulty CAS.... 385rwkw @ 22 dropping to 18psi.... very conservative tune due to the previous issues... should swing 400rwkw without a sweat.

To those who questioned pinging trust me i can pick it up well in advance i have over $2500 in knock monitoring gear (PLEX which is the best on the market and another which was originally designed for RBs during the gibson era)

Its a truly weird occurrence and is only the second RB in 10yrs i've had with this issue (different symptoms though).

When I had my RB25DET dynoed, it would ping its brains out, and no amount of timing would solve it. Then the dyno owner (not the operator) commented that RBs need FUEL to prevent detonation.

fit a new decent intercooler setup, if this fails remove the timing belt and bottom pulley and re-set timing correctly. sometimes they can be a bitch to get right, i once gained 80rwkw from re-doi

Because it would be spinning at 100k+ rpm then then you shut its oil supply off....

Ill copy paste from my build thread

So yeah. Still Internal gate standard manifold position:

Update:

Car issue all sorted

Ended up being a faulty CAS

22 psi down to 18 psi, conservative tune to make sure it is all ok.

Then will be coming back with 2-3 degrees more timing (~20rwkw) and up to 6 psi boost

Top line no airbox

2nd line airbox restriction

Nice. thats a very high number for a bolton turbo setup. Dyno sheet?

Borrow a standard 600x300 core from someone and hook it up outside of the car. Yep just literally hang it out the bonnet with some long ass pipes.

I'll give you my EFT details when you're ready.

Lol

Wow - an actual faulty CAS, good to know this can happen - have had discussions about the possibility of this kind of thing when working through a similar issue and was told by people that this would never happen due to a CAS specific problem, at least without huge rpm being involved. I had picked up the tuning of a while ago, it would take SFA timing without pinging (exactly the same symptoms as this one it seems) its head off - in this particular instance it was actually a seriously buggered cam belt which had enough slop at mid rpm to cause the CAS to throw out erratic triggering signals. Just replacing the cambelt etc (left the original CAS) allowed a further 5+deg of timing to be put into it and the owner was beside himself at the final result.

I "only" use a G4 KnockBlock - but even with that I can tell dodgy combustion in cars which the owners are adamant the existing tune is fine, even when it has apparently been tuned with det cans of some sort - I sometimes wonder how much it is the user and how much it is the hardware where people aren't noticing knock. I won't personally won't tolerate the little static noise you can get before you even hear rattling.

Thanks for sharing the positive outcome, definitely duly noted

Also great to see a high nistune result.

580rwkw is my record but im sure there are higher ones out there.... even a 460rwkw Nistune SR has come through with flying colors.

Was that 580kw with an AFM ( I would presume so as I don't think you can have a MAP sensor with NIStune?) if so which one?

I'm assuming it would just be a standard sensor in a different diameter pipe recalibrated?

Worst part is the ignition trace is not scattered like you would assume. ( not sure why the above is not in qoute tags lol)

100kw from a CAS replacement is a great result. I wonder how common this issue is...

I had the same issue in 2010, it was a bastard to diagnose. Basically boosting up but then breaking down in the upper RPM range, exactly the same as with OP, although on a stock car.

Good to hear it's sorted - very tidy power figure too btw!

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
