Ok I am not reffering to the rich and retard mode which gives you the power dip, but rather a violent cut / stop when on WOT. I had my SAFCII dyno tuned and when i first drove the car all was fine. WOT 11psi all good. Then later that night i went to give it a squirt in second and as the boost pushed 11 and was on the increase, usually gets to about 12 for a bit then drops back down, the car violently cut out and felt like the brakes had been slammed on. :(

I have done heaps of searching on fuel / boost cuts and rich and reatrd etc but I have only now experienced theis problem after i got my SAFCII installed and tuned. :D Before the SAFCII the car could go to around 1 bar without this violent cut business. Over 11 it would usually expereince the reatarding and richening up of mixtures but never cut out like that. Anyone know why this is happening now with the safcII??? IT was quite cold outside but the boost certainly didn't get over 12psi, and it did it in 2nd and forth - feels terrible! Ideas's Comments??

Thanks

Does anyone think that it could be another component causing the problem that just coincidently happened after the safcII tune, 2 hrs hard reving on the dyno etc??? Coil packs?? or would it defienately be a fuel cut. Basically feels like someone slams the brakes on for a sec and if you arn't wearing a seatbelt you would fly forward..

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
