hey guys,

i put a blitz lm fmic on my r32 gtst a couple of months ago and ive noticed the when you put your foot down at say 2,500rpm it takes of hit full boost then hesitates at about 3000rpm maybe a little more and takes of like a bat outta hell again! what would this be i have a 3" cat back would the standard front & dump & cat be restricting when the wastegate starts to open with so much flow ??

its really annoying

thanks simon

In my uneducated opinion, its probably rich and retard. You got more piping to pressurise, so your turbo is going to draw more air when it spools and then you get rich and retard.

I'd try cleaning your AFM, with the mods you listed it shouldn't be hitting R&R

It won't be anything to do with the exhaust or wastegate side of things.

Check all piping for vacuum leaks, maybe in the heat of the moment you accidently missed nipping up a hose clamp. Have you bumped up boost? Maybe the fuel pump is no longer keeping up.

Have you got the bumper back on? Care to post a few pics of the fmic behind the front bar?

Also could you do me a favour and measure from the top of the ic to the very bottom of the ic piping? >_<

I'm after another fmic but want something that uses the stock piping route, as the blitz item does.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
