Experiences with PSR 3584RS gen3 ?
Nick_is_not_sus replied to Nick_is_not_sus's topic in Turbo Workshop
I'm in NZ mate we don't have have any e85 pumps all we have is 98 and 100 octane with 10% ethanol I only run 100. Been a little busy lately so nothings really advanced. I will post when the time comes. Like I have said I'm not going to squeeze ever ounce of power out of it I'm scared of turning it into a hand grenade. I don't even like the idea of dyno tuning getting thrashed to the limiter lol -
Been looking online for wheel alignment specs for FG falcons. I replaced all the rear bushes and rose joints during the weekend and the alignment machine at work is old, like windows XP old (not used often) and only goes to BF, I used the BF strategy and printed it out (its for a modification cert for coil overs) but need the FG strategy with minimum and max tolerances for camber,caster to go with it , cheers I have found a couple of things but it shows way too many variations in ride heights with different casters and camber settings. I dont know what I did to my text either 🤣 thanks https://imgur.com/a/MYE2GHh

Hey, Still haven't it tune yet. All I have done lately is fitted the bigger injectors. Played around with ghost cams (which I didnt like much, but it was fun to experiment) currently have it on closed loop boost control. Once I have changed the rear muflar to a chambered type. And found a wideband which I dont kniw where to start. It should be ready go. Not sure what it will make but I'm only looking to see if I an round the 400rwkw mark. -

Interesting these were his words " I'm happy to tune your car but not interested in tuning it with cams unless you go to a haltech, which we can install and tune for 3900+gst" I thought it was some type of sales pitch turns out it actually a good deal. I did a research and found why he was interested in tuning with cams.. haltech - live tuning. pcmtech - run the car up, turn it off, make adjustments, flash the pcm, run again. And repeat ... seems like pcmtec will add a ton of time during a tuning process then throwing cams into mix.. probably going to end up not using the cams to be honest. I'm a solo dad and I have spent way to much already and I originally was only getting it ready for a mod cert for suspension and wheels and it grew from there. The turbo I had to do the flapper was removed and welded shut the 3584rs gen3 at my cost through work with the t51r mod was only a couple hundred more that get a stock one -

Interesting, I was actually turned down from a tuner if I was using these cams, I think they're mild (218b) but also I have been told from a few people that cams aren't worth it -

Interesting I thought the cams lift would give it a little more lower. And bring on boost better. Not keen on pushing that much I'm going to be happy under 450 I think it's plenty for now -

Hey, it's been on the car a while now I can't really give you a description yet the cars still not tuned but have done around 500kms still with stock cams.. it's a little laggy down low I think when it's tuned with the cams it should improve alot. But in saying that it brings on boost around 2k maybe a little lower and full boost (12psi) around 2.5-2.7k. I haven't given it a hard time yet. Im hoping to have everything done and tuned soon. My priorty now is going through NZ LVVTA at the to get everything done for a modification certificate. so I am trying to do as many things possible so theyre on the cert dongle so when the/or if the cops pull me over they can scan it and all the modifications that the cars been certified for come up. Talked with the guy who's doing the dyno tune. I said I'd like a reasonably safe tune till I have built the other bottom end. Then we can push it he said we'll probably aim for around the 450rwkw mark give or take since it's a stock fg f6 bottom end still seems a little high to me but I'm not going to beat the hell out of all the time -
No worries it's just a oscilloscope of the O2 and some voltage monitoring

#80 the values never changed, car was up to operating temp it had been driven.. I sort of don't get what you're saying, what does NB sensor mean? is this assuming the o2 sensor is flogged? maybe this will show more clarity https://streamable.com/keus2l https://streamable.com/qubguq

Was playing around with my mates tool pro OBD scanner thing, was just curious on how well they worked I have a Xtool D7 anyway ive never checked this before there was a 02 sensor test sso I thought ill check it out rich to lean sensor (v) test ID #01 test value 0.4499v minimum limit 0.4499v maximum limit 0.4499v status "Pass" #80 test ID #80 test value 0.0000v minimum limit 0.5600v maximum limit 0.0000v status "Fail" Did this cheap tool just work out my 02 sensor is flogged ?? its never thrown a code before except for a p0420 from having no cat and bigger exhaust or is this just picking up the second 02 sensor (#80)

So the crackle popping sound is the limiter? If I floor it in first it's hits 6-6.2k rpm a few pops out the exaust as it shifts into the next gear? It also does the same crackle pop sound even if I short shift at about 5.5k rpm

Just curious about the rev limiter in the fg turbos themselves. my old bf turbo rev limiter just felt like the car was snapping the throttle open and shut. My xr8 just goes to the rev redline and stays there. My FG I was told there's 2 limiters? I haven't tried holding the limiter before just because of harmonics and fear of oil pump gears. But a few times accelerating hitting red line it pops and crackles and shifts. I know this is unique to fg and newer but I just want to know is that fuel cut limiter bad on oil pump gears? Sorry for the dumb question but searching hasn't found me alot

My G6ET is almost ready for a dyno. I'm just curious on people's thoughts and experiences with going to a aftermarket harmonic balancer im not looking at screaming rpms (6.5k) and it will still be a daily sometimes. I'm just worried about popping oil pump gears as my car will be getting the snot beat out of it on the dyno (not a fan of) And I know harmonics plays a big part in failing oil pump gears I just want know if they're actually worth while and if so what did you use or hear of that's was worth it, bare in mind price matters also, since this started as getting a engineer cert for suspension and wheels and now its gotten out of control cause I may aswell get everything certed right?. I can understand if you go aftermarket rods and pistons the factory balancer possibly could put out harmonics (ignoring the parasitic harmonics from a/c p/steering alternator and water pump. Also mention I do have after market rods pistons for a later build

Bit of an update the the p1227 dtc I was getting as soon as I was over .4bar boost. It seems to have disappeared since I have move boost reference line from the inlet manifold to the front housing on the turbo.. it was never going to stay on the IM it was just so there was so overboost protection till I had sorted something.. it may help someone out one day 😊
-
Well it was kinda accidentally I just wanted to see if the internal gate was sealing after resetting the preload under boost and it went from 4k rpm to the limiter on the blink of an eye I havent. made a habit of this. I have it sorted from my phone to stop giving it a hard time before the tune while I get other things sorted for the mean time till it's tuned other wise it throws a p1227
