I have had an intercooler fitted and if im on the moterway and drop down to third at 80-100kmh and floor it, when i get to 5000rpm my moter cuts out for 1 sec and then kicks back in. When i turn my boost down it will not cut out but i have no power. Do u think my tap is faulty??? And I have no power FC. Please help

I have limited knowledge about this sort of problem, but it could be your spark plug gap is too far. The new amount of airflow from your intercooler / increased boost might be effecting it.

Search for that, there has been a number of posts on it.

Cheers,

check all your hoseclamps to make sure they're tight, i had a similar problem and that was the cause

what boost are you running (on high boost)? Is your car stock? Does it seem like its hitting a limiter? Btw this is more a forced induction section issue.

Sorry but hoseclamps to what? the tap?

everywhere but in my case it was the cooler piping itself, right before the throttle body :laugh: it was tight enogh to not blow the hose off completely but loose enough so that once it made above say 5psi it would spring a leak, all boost would go out and the motor would cut out for a sec

You are hitting boost cut...

Either get an aftermarket ecu or an safc or similar piggyback ecu...

The car is basiclly cutting out due to an overboost error, the ecu is trying to save the engine...

So when you turn the boost down it does not cut out, and you have no power because you turned the boost down.... :(

Also search topics "Boost cut defender, fuel cut & boost cut"

There are many ways to combat it with out spending allot of money, but if you have a stock ecu id spend the money personally and buy a PFC straight away. Its not safe to run 12psi on a stock ecu with standard fuel maps...

i had this when i got my FMIC installed, but it was because of a hose that goes from the boost sensor to the BOV had melted shut(caused boost spiking so engine was retarding itself). replaced hose and problem is fixed.

it was also recommended that i check my plugs,coils, get a ecu or piggy back AFC and get a tune.

also if u got a K&N filter they can get oil on ur AFM which can cause issues so u may want to look up the tutorial on cleaning your AFM :(

Col has hit it on the head, this is why I asked what boost you were running and whether it feels like your cars hitting a limiter. I probably wouldn't be running in excess of 12psi all day anyway, especially not in this hot weather. Your car may be spiking as well, causing the ecu to boost cut but then when your boost falls back it allows it to go. Regardless, the only way to fix your problem is to do one of the things mentioned above, saving you money later will be to buy a pfc or safc at least.

Good Luck, Matt

you beat me to it col, sure sounds like a boost cut.

has someone mentioned fuel cut?

the ecu senses too much of fuel or air (boost) and cuts it. most likely when u just get it to full boost as it will spike.

PFC will fix.

i hit fuel cut on a CA18DET at 22psi.. well it was 22 as the guage went to 20psi :)

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
