Hey peoples!

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this...

2nd into 3rd while on full boost (mind you im only running 7psi) the car bogs down and then picks up and gets going again...feels as though something is holding me back? Its not wheel spin, Im changing gears smoothly too and not rushing the gear change...

This has happened since fititng FMIC, the front/dump pipe and new clutch (exedy heavy dudty) and just does not feel right, anyone have ideas?

Cheers,

Chris

how long is the piping run for the FMIC? how large is the core. sounds like you have introduced a much larger volume to the intake tract. so it take a bit longer to fill with boost, which give you less response.

agreed :D

just the small turbo not pushing much, when you say changing, is that like 4500rpm then a gear change? or 6000rpm+rpm?

If you get a bit more boost into it (10psi), and PowerFC/S-AFC to play around with timing etc etc.

It will fix that problem of a "hole" that your having.

sounds like your referring to a change gear and then the turbo is spooling but no immediate power, wait a second or three and then it kicks in again. Everyone notices that after they fit their first fmic kit. It eventually goes away cause you get used to it.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
