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.

oh ok. kool that sounds alrite, so a tune will have it in order.what is causing it thou is it the stock ecu cutting the fuel like i thought? the sudden jolt is strong enough to throw me out the front window if dont hvae my seatbelt buckled.

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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
