Hi All,

New to SAU. Excuse my limited knowledge for future reference.

I recently purchased a N/A r33 S1.5 (s2 management) with intentions to go down the forced induction path.

I purchased a Rb25det s1 engine,loom and ecu. I installed the engine trouble free but had a few electrical bugs, using the s1 management I can not get injector or coil pulse. I've tried multiple CAS with no luck and have narrowed it down to no power to the Ecu.

I then tried using the N/A s2 ecu,loom and plenum with all n/a sensors.

(Of course changing coil packs,tps and afm)

The car started and idled fine but run like shit on boost.

I changed to a S2t ecu,fuel pump and adjustable FPR

The car run what I thought was perfect.

After a small drive I've found it runs VERY rich @ idle and VERY lean on boost >4000rpm roughly

It's like the Ecu is not recognising "boost"

So this is where I am at now:

S1.5 car

S2det Ecu (only 1 relay next to ecu)

S2 N/A loom

S2 N/A afm

S2 N/A plenum and sensors

Det injectiors

Adjustable FPR @ 30psi- I've noticed a lot of fluctuations in pressure- some days 10psi some days 35????

S2 coil packs

S2 Tps and TB

Walbro 225lph

Boost T @10psi

So to me I belive there are no ways the car can sense boost since I do not run a boost solenoid using n/a loom?

The car will get up and go ok but feels to have no torque. It's just all noise.

I come back off the track with a glowing turbo.

The car will idle insanely rich to the point where the plugs fowl after 2 mins of idle @800rpm

The car will run amazing and pull well sometimes but very moody on when.

Also wondering if it's my fuel pressure fluctuating?

Let me know any troubleshooting ideas anyway guys and girls!

Look forward to joining the SAU community.

Max.

I came in here reading the word milkshake expecting you to have blown a headgasket or the oil cooler.

You are correct. There is no "boost sensor". The load sensor is the AFM. It helps to use the correct one for the ECU and engine type.

It sounds as lean as f**k too. That could be because you have the wrong AFM, or it could be because your fuel pump is not up to the task. You should not do this sort of crap without having some basic test gear hooked up. Fuel pressure gauge sounds like a good one.

I meant milkshake as in a bunch of different parts in one car haha,

Ok so there is a difference between a DE and DET afm?

Yes it is lean above 4k, I have a narrowband as a rough reference, I know they are pretty basic but still gives an indication

Yes my fuel pressure gauge jumps over the shop a bit.

So are there any differences to engine operation between the N/A and DET loom?

Thanks for your reply mate :)

Okay you will need the Afm from the same car the ecu came from.

You also need to set base fuel pressure to 45 psi with the FPR unplugged from the vac/boost source

Ignore the narrowband gauge they're worse than useless

    • 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
