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.

its just one thing after another with these cars, all good fun thou.

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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
