Cool

My Knock sensor count climbs in hot weather at low rpms and boost is reduced

but when its cool like today count is 0 and boost kicks like a mule and car breaks traction in 1st , 2nd & 3rd.

 

Interesting topic re: Map sensor. I'm running -9's (GT-SS), on a Vipec. My tuner (DVS Jez) also tuned 'around' the 3 Map sensor. I hit 24psi boost as well from 4-5000rpm before it backs down to 21psi up until 8K redline.

I don't think it's anything new to tune beyond sensors, on the dyno, but I can understand why it's less than ideal. 

It was a last minute decision while we were there, but I should have pulled my finger out and bought the proper sensor afterwards.

A 3 bar map sensor will read up to 29psi

Fair enough. Mabee i was told incorrect info. Someone mentioned to me that 3 bar absolute is not the actual same as total "boost". And just looking up my Vipec, it's 2.5 bar map sensor or 22ps "boost"i?

Could be completely wrong though.

Wouldn't the wideband see it leaning out - and react accordingly?

 

 

 

 

but how would your wideband determine you've over boosting? or that you're running way to much timing?

And how would your wideband and or your map sensor determine you've over boosted and cut fuel/igniting to your motor?

Pointless having engine protection that's not protecting a basic thing like exceeding load, in this case boost.

I got you, will put an order in tomorrrow.

Let us know how you get on.  While there is a good chance that it is to do with that, there is no guarantee BUT a MAP sensor that suits what you are doing is really a must have imho so not wasted money no matter what way you cut it.    Obviously it'll need remapping to get rid of the guess work on the 250kpa load range - good luck!

Any easy way to test them? Boost leak test doesn't help as any leakage stays in the intake so total pressure remains the same.
 

My BOV's are plumbed back. Leakage past the BOV just ends up back on the hot side of the motor. Total pressure remains the same and given the noises involved in pressuring the system, hard to hear if the BOV is unseating.

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
