Tps voltage 0.5 with ignition on still 0.5 at idle. With ignition on and accelerator floored tps voltage 4.34. Tried the crab cleaner there was no change in idle, couldn't get underneath the intake but sprayed everywhere else.

I am fresh out of ideas last thing left is for me to have a go at the exhaust cam gear. I also shot a video that I will be trying to upload for you guys to see and make your own analysis.

I was under the impression that no-one had successfully undertaken the internal vct supply mod. I guess to be absolutely sure that it is working as it is supposed to you would have to check on a dyno. Maybe you could try a timed 80 -120 run with the vct on and off and see if there is any difference.

Advanced exhaust cam gear 6 degrees engine is a lot smoother; still can feel vibration when sitting in the car and at idle vacuum is in the 10's.

Did a wide open pull in second full boost came on at around 4700rpm out of a holset hx40 with a twin scroll t4 .58 back housing. Pulled very stringly at the onset of boost enough to spin the tires at 12psi, Still needs a tune. Does that seem laggy?

Car still does not feel right, can not control idle from pfc stays around 1000rpm and when i lower it using the hand controller the rpm rises.

do a boost leak test see if you can find a leak... open the throttle as well with a brick on the pedal and spray soapy water on everything ...then find bubbles. do you have idle air control valve? or is it all ditched?

I have idle air control valve.

The brick on pedal is while doing the boost leak test?

Cams would reduce vacuum as well right? By reduce i mean going from -17 to -10.

I have the internal mod successfully running vct on hks cams

if your vacuum has decreased then perhap more air is needed to bypass the throttle through the idle air control...have you played with that at all?

Yeah had a play with it. Didn't check to see if it increased vacuum but will when I go at it again. That's probably why it isn't working how it suppose to be. Use to be able to control idle perfectly with power fc. Guess I will mess with it again until I am able to control with the power fc again.

Really? Ok how is your restrictor setup in the block? How does your car drive with it unplugged? Is there a noticeable difference with it on or off?

Mines doesnt work cause I did the idle test by activating it while car idling and there was no idle change and also I have it unplugged now and driveabilty is the same. No change at all.

someone here will have the answer, but these are my thoughts and i'm still really learning so i could be wrong but advancing the exhaust cam timing will decrease overlap and increase cylinder pressure...which would lead to more heat being generated.

Vct is 1.5mm Middle blocked and rear 1.4mm. Idle is poor with the vct turned on and with it off the midrange is about 40kw less

Same specs with my build. Only thing is i havent been on a dyno to check power output as yet. Most definitely there is no idle change when vct activated at idle and it feels the same driving wise whether plug is on or off.

Other than the idle check i have noway of telling if it is actually always on, cause driveablity remains the same but that could be the effect of it always being on and idle is poor after cam install. Vacuum at idle is in the -10's rising the more rpm I make without getting into boost.

Checked and rechecked timing, added and subtracted both fuel and ignition timing, opened and closed idle air control valve, adjusted tps sensor and advanced exhaust cam gear 6 degrees.

Everything is within spec just idle is not as smooth as i would like it to be car vibrates and engine shakes to much. It is not horrid just a little off and its bugging the hell out of me.

The cam gear advance seemed to help a bit but didn't want to go any further than that as it seemed to far advance at 6.

So I am back to it either being vct or cams, also i have a very small gap on my spark plugs,

its odd that you cant adjust the revs lower than 1000rpms, what gap are the plugs? are they getting wet cause once there wet it will never idle smooth.

Plugs are gapped very tightly. I am thinking they are .5mm. Have not checked the plugs for wetness. I reinitialized the power fc and did the idle learn again, Rpm is steady at 950/1000 according to hand controller and I have it set at 900. That is with the idle air screw opened all the way. Didnt try to adjust with hand controller as it was kinda idling within spec.

Feel that controlling the idle is within my grasp as it is now idling steadily between 950 and 1000 and i have a few adjustments I can make to get it as close to perfect as I can.

What injectors?

650cc about to be changed to 850cc top feed denso.

Problem seems to be solved. CAS was broken. Car now idles as before with a slight miss but no violent shaking. I have noticed that my water temperature gets noticeably higher than what I am use to. Use to seeing about 95c to 98c staying there under normal conditions and boosting with fans running as soon as hood opened with fans on temps would drop down to low 80'sand thermo fans would cutoff. Temps would build back up fans cut back on and so on and so on.

Now the temp gets to 102c and stays there even with hood open, fans on and after a hard run.

Can advancing the exhaust cam gear raise water temps? I ask because while trying to fix idle problem I had advance the exhaust cam 6 degrees and have not placed it back to normal.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
