I had may car at the mechanics late last week for a remap to suit the new turbo combo, much to my dissapointment there wasnt a whole lot of improvment in max power.

The current set up is an emanage ultimate, gt30/vg30, with a blitz sbc controlling boost.

While i am quite happy with the way the car drives i would still like to squeeze a little more out of it.

The suporting mods ive been told should see me around the 200 awkw mark, but the best so far was

176 on boost setting 4, 1.1 bar.

my problem is this, beyond this level, vehicle boost cuts. the mechanics have scoped and data logged to determine injector and air flow meter ranges but neither were the cause of boost cut, also inspected for boost sensing devices for factory ecu, none were evident.

They seem to think that the internal mapping of the factory ecu offers fuel cut at certain rpm when boost causes specific injector demand.

has any one else had this problem I know there are a quite a few s1 out there that have 200awk and above,

any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

yeah id also like to know as i cant adjust my boost at all without the boost cut ... 100% factory boost spec with the annoying dual stage boost control. I tried doing the boost solenoid trick and it jus hit the boost cut (can run it standard tho and no probs??? weird)

So now i have a hi flow turbo and im back to fully stock boost ... feels tha same as a stock turbo runnin about 11-12 pounds ... very annoying especially when i got smoked badly by someone on this forum the other day when they werent even in a Nissan :pirate: you know who u are!! :laugh:

cmon guys an girls any help??

again,people keep denying the boost cut exists,when it does. rich and retard does NOT put your head through the windscreen in the same way the boost cut does.

1.1bar is just over a kg/cm2,which is where my series 2 oes the same thing - it CUTS the ignition. it doesn't retard it a few degrees,it stops it.

a retard gives you a dull feeling,a cut stops the party entirely,which is what happens. again,do people want a demo? I'm still happy to be proven wrong in person on this.

I think the series 2 does monitor the boost at the ECU but the series 1 doesn't. They both run an R34 style of ECU but the series 1 is the only one to run the older RB25DET with this ECU. This means a few changes such as no facility for oil temp monitoring etc. I would follow wolverines advice.

had mine on the dyno by a well respected tuner in Perth and he was the one that said it was the boost cut. confusing :P

Yup, I know exactly what you are feeling there. With the SAFC and SITC you can tune around these, use a Z32 air flow meter too for better resolution for the tune. Make sure you have a good fuel pump and maybe a nismo fuel reg, then get it tuned on the dyno. Obviously a good exhaust & cool air supply is a necessity.

You'll get around that BAM into the windscreen feeling :(

Ive got that problem now, had everything tuned nicely with the stnd turbo but with the highflow now on, winding the boost to 14psi results in "head-2-windscreen" sydrome - as you describe, its like the ecu just shuts up shop, a feeling very similar to when you hit the revlimiter in 4th gear on a sportsbike = over the front you go!

ggrrr need a retune! need funds lol :happy:

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
