Hey guys,

 

Just a few things about it... its done 206000k's, still got the 4K in it but its turbo :) converted to 5spd with short shifter, lowered on 13 inch splats but i have new wheels for it (still have the others but wanted a change for a while) 2 inch exhaust.

 

not yet tuned with the turbo on it but looking good so far. it runs and drives but doesnt like boost atm coz it doesnt get enough fuel when it does so. will be tuned next thursday tho :)

 

interior: stock but very good condition

 

Exterior: lowered on 15ns have other wheels which u will see

 

Engine: stock 4K T25/28 turbo (no J pipe) 2 inch exhaust, xr6 turbs front mount

 

Fuel system: Carter 18psi in line fuel pump, malpassi rising rate pressure reg.

 

will update when its tuned, going to run 12psi through it too

Someone needs to merge a couple of threads! :)

 

Nice work on the car so far, should scoot along well.

 

I hope you have done something for ignition control? That could be a major reason why your having trouble on boost. To much timing will kill it!

ignition control? ive got a dual spark coil out a pintara and an electronic dizzy if thats what you mean and the timing is spot on, its booked in for next thursday to get tuned so they will sort it out either way :)

Nice, thats wpn36/SWL's turbo setup isn't it?

You need to lock the dizzy, retro fit a boost retard solenoid to the dizzy or run something like an MSD BTM to retard your timing on boost. Otherwise start stocking up on headgaskets now.

 

Also in regards to fuel, have you read this yet....

how hard is it to lock a dizzy and how would i do so?

sweet gonna be more boosted k's soon

@ Taz_Rx: what have you done to yours?

Just posted in your other thread and realised what car it was!

 

Looking at your fuel pressure reg I can't see a boost reference line running to it? Is this right? That could explain why you may be running out of fuel on boost. Tge boost pressure could be stopping the fuel from entering the carb basically.

 

And as Taz said, you need some sort of boost retard function. Locking the dizzy sights can work to some degree, it's as simple as wiring/welding your bob wieghts in the dizzy together to stop the mechanical advance, you should be able to keep your vac advance for off boost cruising though. Your best bet would be to spend a few hundred on an msd 6BTM, with the dollar so good look stateside for the cheapest prices. With the btm you can lock your dizzy at say 30deg initial and as boost comes on it will knock the timing back for you up to 3deg per psi of boost.

 

Actually, if your going to spend any money on an msd god a 6al-2 programmable and buy a 2-3bar map sensor to suit. It's a fully laptop programmable version that allows you to have a separate boost retard map etc. And it's cheaper than the btm and 300 times better!

Nice, thats wpn36/SWL's turbo setup isn't it?

 

This is the setup from the 36 that Wpn36 bought from Bezender here in adelaide.

 

Another setup by Mr Verban..

yeah engine out of my ke36, good to see that it's running now :)

That's an electronic dizzy isn't it? If so just pull the guts out of the top of it, remove the springs and replace them with some tie wire..... not cable ties. :rolls:

 

JP - With the BTM you just run normal NA timing (unlocked) then the BTM just pulls out timing for said boost.

 

And yeah I can't see a boost reference line either. There's a plumbing diagram in that link I gave you ofr those malpassi's.... hell I think I even put a cut-away pic of one in there!

i have a boost reference line, its plumbed into the back of the carby hat.

ill have a look at the dizzy and see about locking it but if i can get a btm for a reasonable price ill get that instead

 

thanks for the help :)

The BTM's aren't cheap at around 4700 retail, get some mates rates somewhere and you could probably get one for $400'ish.

 

Best option by far though.
