Hey Guys,

I just bough a 92 r32 gts-t, its stock as a rock. The car drives well, boost kicks in at 3000rpm and is full of power till 5000rpm where you feel like a lack of power from there till redline.

I was wondering has anyone had the same problems, if so what should i be looking at.

Thanks for your help

a BOV?

how would that make it any better?

they come with one from the factory.

Anyhow... the turbo on the RB20/s... red/silver tops runs out of puff around that mark.

If your car is stock as you say, then get your exhaust done, that's a good start.

That'll give you more all round, and the boost will naturally rise a 1-2 psi with that also

it gave me a little better bottom end too on my old coupe when i had it done.

you'd be surprised at the difference and the responsiveness.

If that's not enough do what others do and put the RB25 turbo on your car. and give it a bit more boost to boot...

it'll pull all the way to redline then!

I had the same problem and it turned out to be that the knock sensors were disconnected. at around 5300-5500rpm there was a noticable drop in power, drove me insane. Search the froums on how to do a diagnostics with the ecu and that will tell you. Good luck. Also now with the knock sensors connected it made ok power to around 62-6500rpm.

Nah, im saying when I bought the car the owner had the std. bov fitted due to being defected. The car felt really restricted above 5k. I fitted the hks sequential that the owner gave me, reset the comp, the "viola", dont ask me why, it revved so smooth to 6500 -7000 rpm.

Im not saying this is a solution, or starting an argument, I'm saying this is what happened on MY car.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
