Hi all

Well tonight my bro was driving and being stupida as we all do, late at night, nice and cold outside, and my car went all the way to 14psi after the FMIC, so propably 16psi on the turbo side.

I have a FMIC and turbo back exhaust, SAFC II tuned and HKS pod, ect ect, stock boost controller, and the boost went up top 14 psi. I am looking at a GIZZMO IBC but this is weird. The highest i ever saw it before was 12psi, but normally lucky to see 10psi.

What the hell is goign on and how do i fix it untill the GIZZMo is in????

And befor i get flamed, it was on a dual higway with just us two and NOOOOOO cars, and it was my brother.

So you're seeing 14 instead of 12psi? Easy answer could simply be that at night you're seeing boost spiking abit higher due to the colder denser air. I see my boost jump up to 9-10psi at night from the 8psi I see during the day on my ProfecB2.

Off topic, I remember you writing a thread about the SAFC. Have you been able to rid the notoriouse R&R using the SAFC?

Well it sure scared the hell out of me. But yeah i am sure it had to do with teh cold night and denser air. Can't wait for an EBC to fix things.

As for the R&R, yess i managed to get rid of most of the issues, we bumped teh fuel pressure up, only 3 psi and then tuned down the SAFC to the point where the R&R disapeared, but the stock computer not taking timming out.

It took some time, and there is still a little flat spot, but not as obvious as it was.

Having done all this i just purchased a mines ECU, so we see how that goes.

perhaps your exhaust is the problem, if it is free flowing enough air will go through the turbo still when the wastegate is open. air goes the easiest way...is that a tiny wastegate hole or the already spinning turbo with nothing behind it?

can someone please lend a knowing ear?

you can't get much more free flowing them mine, 3" dump, no cat, and an oval 3" muffler with 4" tip. it's free alright. LOL

I think it's the stock boost controller not working with so many modifications.

Shut up and grow some balls.

Big deal, my brother was driving wayyy over the limit, not like you haven't done it. So give up. I try not to do it, my brother was driving as it was his first drive ever in my car.

RELAX. it was very late, no cars on the stretch of highway we were on, and even if there was, centre divide so I couldn't hit them anyway. I am getting sick and tired of people thinking that if you speed, you are dead. I have been racing on tracks since I was 13, have had accidents and learned, never do anything stupid on the real roads, and if you look at my driving record, it's %100 clean, and I have been driving for 8 years.

SO lay off grow some balls and stop pretending that you leave in a society where people are perfect, your not and neither is anyone else.

THE END.

So before you call people a moron, GET YOUR FACTS STREIGHT. just cos your the MOD, don't mean stuff to me.

I think it was more they dont want to be seen promoting speeding as this is a public forum. Talking about drifting/speeding/doing burnouts in public areas you will find is a no no on these forums. Would you really want to see a newspaper article laying shit on 'hoons' and a big screenshot of these forums with people bragging about what they have done?

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
