Intro to my c34 stag

Hi all, 

I've been told I should intro myself in the wagoneers section, so here I am :)

Bought my series 2 rs4 about a year ago with 87000kms on the clock, I was skeptical about whether that was genuine but I've found nothing to contradict it so far! I am the first Australian owner as well. 

Since buying I've changed the wheels, chucked in some BC coilovers, put in an alpine head unit, put in a hks intake, and done the boost solenoid ground mod to get around the 2 stage boost system. I've just had a 225lph walbro fuel pump put in but am currently having issues getting the direct wire mod to work for me.

I'm extremely stoked with the car considering this is my second car and the first one I've modded and worked on beyond minor servicing. 

Thanks for the wealth of info you guys have accumulated on this forum, it's been real handy.

Cheers,

From this angle looks very similar to my S1. You have the advantage of being able to easily slot in a Nistune chip so with that and a manual (for now) boost tap you could add a little extra zip...

Ahh they do look similar. I gotta get me a clear indicator and black weather shield above the windows. Looks good. Extra boost is definitely on the agenda and I'll have to look into this nistune chip too! First gotta clear up a misfire that I'm getting and get the timing belt done :( no fun mods for a minute :(

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
