Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

Sorry my bad. I assumed that going a 3L you would upgrade the supporting mods, water and oil pump, timing belt, clutch and at least a dyno tune. Obviously not the case, I apologise.

You can't do it without a timing belt. Water pumps are cheap as. The rb30 oil pump is fine. Shim the relief valve for free.

And I tuned it on the dyno.

Widebands are the best.

I also thought my car was running rich.

Bought wideband.

Observed AFR.

Changed fuel maps to suit.

Car running correctly.

See also:

Got tune. Cold start was terrible. Idle was terrible (17:1).

Made 30 seconds of changes.

Car running correctly.

See also:

Car tuned on E85. Corrections for 98 not entirely right (known).

Get E58 or something in tank after tank swap.

Made 15 seconds of changes in correction map.

Car running correctly.

See also:

Changed injectors from 1000cc to 1400cc.

Car not running correctly.

Made 2 minutes of changes to fuel map.

Car running correctly.

GET A WIDEBAND

Doing a RB25/30 conversion for less then $3k can be done IF you can do all of the work yourself and all good and well these guys say you can cause i did it is not a fair statement, you couldn't take you car to someone ( and not a mate ) and get it done for that, no way in hell

It also come to what supporting mods you do and to what level and how properly you do the conversion as we all know there are cheap way to do some stuff which isn't exactly the best way of doing it

So the real question would be can Ron do it for less then $3k done and dusted ?

Again with the wide band, if tuned properly you shouldn't need one, nice to have but not needed cause really you can only do so much on the street before it should be put on a dyno and tuned properly

^^ This really clever fellow here knows me more than I know myself !!

Yes.

It's based on many things you have posted.

For example.

You specified how exactly you were going to block up your bov return. And did it weirdly anyway.

Someone who knows what they are doing just does stuff.

I do really hope you can get the car sorted out.

22 pages on AFM vs. BOV lol

I reckon, sell Power FC, BOV, AFM - buy Adaptronics, block up BOV port/return dose & bake tyres all day

So in in Rons case it would go

Nistune, sell

Power fc sell

Adaptronic

???

Profit?

flutters is the shit man... you won't look back.. and no more reversion, no more stalling crap, no more dirty AFM, etc.

rip skids & be happy

True enough for anything over 100kmh with a power run. The 97% of the driving you use a street car for however can be done with a wideband and some tinkering. The power runs is what the dyno is for but that is really only a small fraction of the time (money!) it takes for a tuner to tune the car, but I agree - it's no dyno replacement.

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
