Hey guys i was wondering if someone could give me a brief yet descriptive explanation for boost cut.. My mates skyline gets it and he wants to know how to go about getting rid of it... Just want to know what exactly causes it, What it does and how it can be fixed.

Thanks

Boost cut...

Caused when the turbo supplies too much boost for the stock ECU to handle.

Well, not so much handle, but for the ECU to scream "I WON'T LET YOU HURT THE MOTOR!"

Basically, to avoid it, turn the boost down a touch.

R33 RB25DET boost cut is around 12psi, R32 RB20DET boost cut is about 21psi.

Are you sure it is boost cut?

21 psi on a stock ceramic turbo and stock ecu?

wtfark.

I think it is?

When he gets up it a bit the BOV goes off like a slart and and the car jerks and shudders and it feels like the turbo actually is cutting in and out.. he is running around 14 psi. All he has is pod filter, FMIC, Exhaust system and a bov. not sure of the brands.

There is no such thing as boost cut

The ECU goes into Rich & Retard mapping, it has to do with airflow, not a specific level of boost as such.

OBNXSH - what you are describing sounds to me like its due to the BOV, its ATMO venting correct?

If your mate puts the stock BOV back on there, that will fix the problem for free.

Oh, and 14 isnt safe... the turbo might live, it might not

I see.. Alright ill see how that goes.. Its just weird because my parents used to own a 33 gtst on 14 pounds on the stock turbo, stock ECU with a 60- 40% plumb back BOV the GFB hybrid one, And the same thing happened with that... The mechanic which worked on it (owners of the old hardcore racing in brisbane) said that it was boost cut :S

Weird. maybe its just a nickname or something.

Well if its doing it under load, then its Rich 7 Retard

If its playing up when he backs off? Ie, the BOV going off, is he backing off, or is that under full load?

If its under load, then thats Rich & Retard. Backing off the boost will reduce the airflow and make the ECU happy.

A PowerFC or any other ECU will stop that from happening if you wanted to get rid of the problem altogether

It happens around 4 1/2 - 5k revs, it stops when you back off. it just jerks the car around, its like it cuts out and the car jerks forward then it kicks back in and take off and then stops again and jerks the whole car forward and the only way is to back off the accel all together... its pretty scary when it happens when you dont expect it.. on the odd occasion it happened when the turbo was just spooling (in my parents 33)

Just drop the boost till it stops, could be 12psi, could be 10psi.

Only way to know is to knock it down bit by bit.

But it will fix it.

If it doesnt, could well be a coil pack/ignition issue then.

But back the boost off first

In two of the stock ECU 32's I did it on, it actually cut ignition at 21psi boost.

The 33's I meant boost limit. (Via solenoid)

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
