hey, im havin dramas! my 33's basicly standard engine wise. pod filter, zorst, front mount and boost tee.

i was running .85 bar and it was running fine.

after about 3 months of no probs it started to get a flatspot down low. i replaced the plugs and fuel filter but it didnt really help.

a few weeks later it got worse.

now when i plant it theres a big flat spot then it sounds like its hitting boost cut, it coughs and then pulls hard as if nothing wrong all the way to the redline?

ive just been winding boost out of it and the problem doesnt go away until im down to 0.5 of a bar(7psi)?

why wouldnt i be able to wind it above stock boost????

anyone have any suggestions or had this problem before?

me-------> :P <-------- my car

I basically had the same problem. Runnin 0.8 bar..

Realised after a while, the boost tee opens up a bit. As in, i recckon the hole gets a tad bigger, so you end up running more boost than previously set.

I noticed after a month or two, that the boost went above the 0.8 bar to 1 bar. Had huge flat spots, and was just shit..

So i turned my boost down to 0.65-0.7 bar, and seemed to worked well.. No flat spots at all

But then again, all i got is, full exhaust, pod.. basically everything else is still stock..

Running rich will also contribute..

Best to get your car tuned if you can afford it..

Let me know how you fix your problem..

    • I went and found the actual FSM again (Yeah, I squirreled...) Screen grab of the FSM for M35. 51PSi with engine idling.  
    • I thought the same too, and more than happy for others to bring another source for what it is. Just throwing so me caution out there, as potentially an extra 30% current needed than expected.   Well worth more investigation, but right now, I'm going over my Cypher knowledge while Expendables 4 provides mundane noise in the background, ha ha!
    • You still around Terry?
    • If true then....wierd. That's a very high base fuel pressure for a shitty old early 2000s Nissan.
    • I may have my math slightly wrong, I'm not double checking that again, but the factory spec for fuel pressure is to set it with the engine IDLING (in vacuum). That spec is 51PSi while idling. So now add +10psi for atmospheric, and +7 for 7psi of boost, and we need 68psi of fuel pressure at full noise, and 51psi idling. That's according to the FSM I found last night for M35. So MINIMUM fuel pressure should be 51psi and it climbs from there.
