i have r33 gtst running 11psi with just jap front mount 600x300x76, k&n pod clod air exhaust..etc.

when you floor the acelarator if seems to have a flat spot around 4-5000 rpm then picks up again, feels like its holding back ...but if you let it rev out without flooring it its not to bad...sometimes it revs out smooth ...running 9 psi it feels like it pulls harder and revs smoother.. should i change plugs or the gap...coil packs...

any help... :happy: could it be leaning out...

I would have to take a stab @ R&R is kicking in.. what's happening is that it's ramping up the boost.. detecting the increased air flow.. than dumping in fuel and retarding the timing..e.g. rich & retard - protection system is kicking in to prevent over boosting..

By slowly easing it in - you won't experience this as it won't see a huge spike of air flow..

I would suggest lowering the boost.. or just not slamming the foot down in 1st and 2nd..

OR - get a power fc and tune it..

edit - It won't be leaning out.. if it's using the stock ecu this is a protection system.. and will be riching up the mixture instead..

Do a bit of a search. you'll find plenty of topics..

Rich & Retard it is, I have exactly the same mods making about 0.8bar and the same thing happens with freshly gapped Iridium plugs. I have a Power FC which is about to be tuned, should solve all the problems. Alternatively a cheaper solution would be a SAFC II.

can i ask why your gapping Iridium plugs though?

anyways.. if your not runing iridiums in yours SS#eater.. invest in another set ..with a 0.8 gap ... coppers.

its fairly typical of a 33 to have the flat spot... only way to tuen it out is the above mentioend SAFC or PFC.....

oh and is your K&N filter the oiled type? i dont thnk that woould be giving your AFM much to work with coating the sensor with oil.

sorry to butt in, but it isn't rich and retard mapping. it is to do with the cams. you will find that cars that are stock will do it (i mean completely stock, exhaust and all). a pfc won't fix it at all. there is a thread on here where people were trying to shift the cam change point to get rid of it but it didn't really make a difference.

I will put money on it been rich and retard. Regap your plugs to 0.8 if that doesnt work get a power FC or a SAFC. My car used to do the same thing even when stock the more mods I did the worse it got. SAFC fixed the problem for me.

cheers

it can't be rich and reatrd if it does it when stock. why would nissan a protection in that happens when the motor is stock?

it is the hydraulic cams changing back. the switch at 1500rpm, then back at 4500rpm. there is a thread on here that explains it. had a quick look but couldn't find it, will look again later.

rich and retard is a sudden loss of power. it is a violent stop/start, not a slow point of acceleration.

Drop boost to 10 psi, get a safc from the for sale section and ur sweet. if the car runs good on 9psi but crap on 11psi then meet half way and get the fuel mixtures tuned :starwars: have a nice day.

I don't believe that this is what is happening.. Mine does it depending on how quickly my boost ramps up.. doesn't matter what RPM.. ease it in.. and it's fine.. flatten it.. it spikes.. and I get a slight dip than it comes back up..

Could be spark plugs getting blown out..

It's a stock motor - running 3PSI than the maximum all the way through the rev range.. that's what will do it.. say your spooling by 3,000rpm.. that's 5 or 6PSI (Double) what the ecu would be expecting to see.. that would explain why it R&R's..

HOWEVER there may be something else going on.. but I don't believe that it's the cams changing.. as I get smooth power all the way through the rev range in 3rd or 4th gear when easing it on.. even in 2nd.. Oh and my cars very stock except for the bleed valve

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
