hey all

a few months after i had my tune done i started getting boost cut on high boost ( 19psi). it seems to spike quickly and cut out.

ive tried messing around with the profec by reducing gain raising the warning etc etc but its still causing a problem, the limit says max boost its hit is 1.53 bar. On low boost (around 12psi) it runs 100%

another note, tial runs a 0.9 spring.

any ideas.

the solenoid has to work pretty hard

to maintain the level between 0.9 and 1.53 bar

try and upgrade the spring, would give better control

i dont want to go to that trouble if i dont have to and the ebc shouldnt be hitting 1.5+, 19psi is only about 1.3 i think

he is running tial 38mm external gate on a TD06.

from our msn conversation, as soon as it relies on the EBC, it will over boost

Are you specifically stating that the profec B 2 is a spiking machine, or making a general across the board statement re boost controllers being unable to bring boost on without spiking when the boost is set higher than the spring rate?

neither

just trying to figure out why it's over boosting to about 1.5bar and hitting a boost cut when initially it was tuned at 1.3bar and was working fine for a few months.

the only thing I can suggest is to get it on a dyno and have another crack at tuning it. they can be hard to set up on the street just due to roads available, and speed limits etc. i had a little trouble getting mine perfect. 10 mins on the dyno and it was sorted.

its booked in for monday..

if its a problem with the tune i know the tuner will sort it out no charge but if its a ebc problem ill be up for the bill..

i tried upping the warning see if it was causing a problem but it did nothing.. seems like a typical spiking problem.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
