Thank you everyone!

So the car runs and drives good, coolant temps are good, had a small coolant leak but that's fixed. I just got back from a drive and now an oil leak has popped up, it's leaking from the oil drain line up where it attaches to the turbo, so once it cools down I'll see if I can tighten that up some more.

Hahaha Thanks Man.

Car seems to be running good pulling 20-21inHg of vacuum at idle, Coolant Leak is definitely fixed, and I was able to tighten down the oil drain line flange a little bit more, went for another drive and I think that's fixed, we'll see.

I'm seeing positive pressure at about 2700-2800rpm, haven't gone anything over 1psi as it's just on a base tune.

Does anyone else have the Synapse DV? That thing is quiet!

I miss seeing this car around chicago

nice work on the new set up

Thanks

Now you have that beautiful 280Z to look at that Christine built

9krpmrx8 03-01-2013 12:07 AM

Yeah man, that Synapse DV is quiet :)

Chris 03-01-2013 07:33 AM

yeah, any dv is going to be considerably more quiet.

boostdtalon 03-01-2013 07:56 AM

I ran their DV on both my Evo and my Talon. It was quieter than my BOV. I do miss hearing it.

shadycrew31 03-01-2013 10:23 PM

BOV or Fail.

Yea I knew it would be quiet, but that thing is almost silent. I like it though, more stealthy lol

Ok so looking for some opinions....

Car goes into boost and pulls initially and then stops at 3psi...
The car starts to go rich and drop into the 13's and then turns and starts to go back lean, at this point I immediately let off the throttle.

I thought maybe it was the DV leaking so I tightened up the preload all the way to see if I noticed any change, after that still the same exact thing so I changed it back.

Another thing to note is that I currently do not have a check valve in the Jet Air line because I'm waiting for one to get here. So this would be a boost leak, but would it be enough to cause this issue? It also wouldn't explain the fact that the car starts to go lean, wouldn't it be going even more rich with a boost leak?

kma5783 03-14-2013 09:17 PM

Could be an issue with the wastegate, going to tighten up the preload and remove the boost signal and cautiously see what happens, if I still only see 3 psi we know it's not that.

The preload is set on the wastegate now and it's a 6-7psi wastegate actuator so I don't think that would be it, but I guess it's possible.

I haven't had a check valve on my jet air hose since forever, when you say rich in the 13's I don't know what that means... Do you mean 13psi or 13 AFR? If you aren't seeing 11 or lower rolling into boost you need to fix your tune.

Also I had a similar issue with my MAF wires getting wet after the relocation. Check your GS as you are rolling into boost. Mine would show stupid numbers like 100GS at 3 PSI. There is a possibility your MAF relocation got messed up.

Chris 03-15-2013 07:27 AM

how far into your tune are you? why are you already seeking 7psi?

I'm saying when I get on the throttle and slowly get into boost the AFR will start to drop rich and the car hits about 2-3psi, then the AFR starts to go back lean, which is when I immediately let off. The tune should be fine, it's a base tune and should be pegged rich.

I'll double check the MAF wiring, I took pics before I depinned the connector so that's easy for me to check.

I'm not trying to hit 7psi, I need to find out why the car will only make 3psi because there's obviously some mechanical issue that needs to be fixed before I continue to tune.

dopeee. purple looks great! sorry i dont read.. is it paint powder coat or anodized?

9krpmrx8 03-15-2013 09:43 AM

What base tune are you running? If you need some different tunes let me know. What is your injector setup?

That sounds exactly what happened when the soldered connection to my MAF would get wet. If the pinouts are fine look at the G/S when you start to hit boost. If you don't see the numbers rising from 180 to 250 you might have to re-do it.

Thanks man, it's Powder Coat.

I'm running one of Kane's base maps, I changed the dwell table for the BHR Ignition, changed the injector scaling on Bank 2, made the fans come on a little sooner and hid some CELS those are the only changes. I'm running uncapped yellows in the P2's.

Just double checked the MAF wiring, it is correct, I never cut any of those wires just depinned and pulled them back through the harness. I'll keep an eye on the g/s and get back to you.



I just tightened up the preload on the wastegate a little and removed the boost source, I was able to hit more than 3psi, so that's part of the issue, the whole rich then lean thing doesn't make sense, it just makes a complete U-Turn.

I left the preload alone and reconnected the boost source to the wastegate and now I'm able to hit about 4psi but still stops there, so the wastegate actuator is definitely part of the issue. Looks like I'll be getting one of the new Turbosmart IWG actuators soon.

I thought Kanes base tune already had the Dwell set for the BHR? Mine did anyway. I never trusted the upcapped injectors. Do you know what they flow at 60psi? How did you calculate the injector bank numbers?

It does sound like a wastegate actuator issue but I bet your injector bank numbers are wrong as well. It has been a long haul to get mine running 80%. I am almost there.

I just changed it to the newer way of setting up the dwell table based in Oltman's post, not MM's way of just multiplying by 1.45.

The scaling could be off, I was told it was ok to base the change off of static flow before and after, I then calculated the percent change and multiplied the stock value by that. I don't have my exact numbers right now,but I think I multiplied it by 1.89 which came out to like 903. Bank 2 Injectors in ATR are the P2's correct?

9krpmrx8 03-15-2013 10:54 AM

No bank 3 are the P2's.

2004 6 speed manual

Bank 1 = Reds (first 2 injectors from inboard out)

Bank 2 = 1 first yellow and last yellow (from front to back) or secondaries

Bank 3 = two middle yellows (from fron to back) or primary secondaries aka P2's

kma5783 03-15-2013 11:19 AM

Well that's a major issue there I changed Bank 2. I could have sworn the P2's were Bank 2, I'll change that as soon as I get home.

shadycrew31 03-15-2013 11:31 AM

I am running four uncapped yellows and have them setup bank 2, 868 bank 3, 975
