Why R&r At Partial Throttle And Not Full Throttle?

Hey all, I just took the car for a proper test drive and I've noted a few symptoms when the car is on higher boost. From what I've researched so far it seems that I am definately hitting the infamous rich and retard, but whats weird is that it only kicks in at partial throttle (70%) but does not at full throttle. The car viscously stops like power is cut at 5000rpm and then kicks back in and then does it again towards redline.

This is the true effect of R&R yes?

But when at 100% throttle the viscous cuts do not happen, what happens instead is that it doesn't feel like the car is pulling smoothly as it should. There would be very small and hard to feel stutters and flat spots towards redline.

If the above at 70% throttle is R&R, then what am I experiencing at 100%?

So why does the power cuts happen at 70% and not 100% throttle?

Car is R34 GTT. Mods are turbo-back exhaust, fmic, apexi pod and profec B2 set to 12psi. I tapped up the coilpacks earlier today and with those runs above I didn't hear any actual mis-firing but scenerio 2 (100% throttle) could very well feel like it.

Thanks,

Andy :)

P.S - yes I've done a fair bit of searching over the past few days but couldn't find anything directly relating to my partial throttle problem so please keep the 'flaming' to limited if this has been covered before. :)

ECU sees throttle at a certain point through the TPS but reads more air going in through the AFM, works out that there shouldn't be that much air going in at that throttle position and whacks in R+R. When full throttle is used, sees throttle fully open, heaps of air should be going in so... you get the picture?

I get the first part, but at full throttle shouldn't the amount of airflow the AFM is sensing still be more then what the ECU would usually allow? Of course there would be a higher threshold for more air at higher TPS but one would assume R&R is even more likely to kick in at 100%?

100% you have "X" air, ECU is happy with that

70% you have "Y" air, the ECU isnt happy, as it expect "X".

Its relative of the throttle position.

So @ 70% throttle ECU expects "X", and your running 12psi so its getting "Y" and its cracking the sads.

Make sense?

At full throttle there might not be enough air to trip the ECU over as its expecting around that amount because your at 100% throttle, and because your at full throttle the ECU doesnt mind it like it did @ 70%

turn the gain don on the boost controler.

il tell you whats hapening. part throttle theres more boost in the piping compard to the manifold...

ie: your got compressor surge. wich is your turbo trying to push more air than the engines using.

please stop calling tis problen r and r, i cringe at the very thuoght of it, that is the gayest term ive ever heard. sory but it shits me all teser wanker terms floating aroud and to every mechanic is painful to read. :P

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
