hey, can anyone help out basically i got a Bosch 023 and a set of splitfire coils installed yesterday and on around 14psi it feels like the car loses all fuel and just comes to an almight halt but this is only when im giving it some which leads me to believe the stock ecu is limiting the fuel. is this true? i dropped it back down to around 9psi and its only happening at the higher end.

can anyone share some light on this situation? also if the car needs a tune would a safc solve this problem?

sorry if i sound stoopid and habibish i dont mean too but i seriously have no clue what it could be :S

:yes:

Sounds like rich & retard if you've backed off the boost and its pretty much ok.

Do a search with: +rich +retard

It will answer all your questions, and cover all the other possibilities.

Oh, and i wouldnt be running 14psi through the stock turbo for too long either.

can't tune a factory ecu amte. Need a powerfc or something tunable.

14psi wil kill a stock turbo, intercooler no good for over 10psi, and fuel pump needs to be changed.

Anything 12psi and over = rich and retard... You'll lose about 40rwkw like this.

A mates R33 had the same issue some years ago.

He had boost pushed up to 14psi and on the dyno it was fuel cutting. i.e simply cutting all power as in nothing, zilch acceleration.

The same as the R32 GTST's do at around 16-17psi. Well mine used to.

cheers for the reply. when i meant ill get the car tuned i meant with a PwrFC i was just checking out different options.

the sparks are new, they are the NGK Iridium or something i think they come pre-gapped at .8mm. fuel filter and pump are both new all this was done only 500km ago (got the major 100k service done early). i got a feeling its just a tune cause im getting shit house economy with the car too so yeh might just be that.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
