Hi People's

There's something wrong with my car. At the moment what happens is that when i put my foot down it gets up to about 5 psi fine and then just seems to stay there or even drop a little when it's on standard boost which is 7psi. When i put it on high boost which is 1 bar. It gets up to about 9 pound and is then very erratic and it's go up and then down a bit some times it rev's out and fine but feels very slow and other times up the top of the rev range it stutters a fair bit. when i turn the boost off it makes about 5-6 psi but the car just does not move. It revs out but just feels very very slow. When i give it rev's and drop the clutch (rear wheel drive) as soon as it hit's boost it just stutters). i looked at the power FC and everything looks fine and the injector duty cycle seems fine i can't see any leaks. and it ramps onto boost fine. All the interior guages seem fine. I have a metal cat but my car is just a street car could it be melted???

This Problem happened last night. I had it on high boost and was flooring it when at about 6000rpm it seemed to loose power and that problem has persisted to now.

The car's modified it has:

ACL Forged Pistons

ACL Piston Rings

ACL Big End Bearings

ACL Main Bearings

Ported and polished head

Stock polished crank and rods

Bored and honed Block

N1 Oil pump

N1 Water pump

Tomei Oil Gallery restrictor

Gates timing belt

New engine gaskets all round

New Thermostat

New NGK spark plugs

R34 GTR injectors

R34N1 turbos C106/GT25 A/R 0.60/0.64

New Rod bolts, welsh plugs

Fresh paint on rocker covers

3" Trust Front pipe and Power Extreme II Cat back Exhaust

3" Metal cat

Twin Apexi Pods

Apexi Power FC & Hand Controller

Greddy Profec B Spec II boost controller

Nismo fuel pump

i've changed spark plugs today checked for blow bye and everything seems fine. I really need some help.

Has any one had this problem before???

coil pack?

i doubt it's a coil pack because i got split fires not long ago. and some times it rev's out fine but it's just not making the right amount of boost and it feels really sluggish.

i just don't know what to do.

done a compression test yet ? I would start here just to put your mind at ease that its not the engine itself...

do you really think it could be the engine?? it's not blowing smoke, it gets onto boost fine, and the engine's been rebuilt not long ago. Oh god please tell me it's not the engine.

it could be a lot of things...but through the process of elimination you will narrow it down to certain areas..once you are 100% that the engine itself isnt the problem then you can attack other areas...Fuel or ignition..is where its most likely at....But first be sure that engine is perfect

Hey mate check all your hoses and look for leaks in your intercooler piping BOV etc. I found I had a similar problem with the boost (not spluttering though) currently there is a leak from the gasket going into the last of the throttle bodies (to be fixed next week), worth a try. I made a very simple device from here ( http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html ) and blew compressed air into the engine and found it. cost $7 to make and and all you need to do is take off your air box, block one of the hoses from the AFM and place this in the other. (dont need the hosing as on the website just get 65mm PVC end stop fit in nicely)

hey mate, i have the same problem i have nail polished the coil packs, gapped spark plugs but no good i can only get 7 psi to rev cleanly on boost any more than 7 and it is like the rev limiter comes on at 6000 rpm.

i am onto it, will diagnose problem soon and let u know ... :D

hi, i just put a small vid on, this is what my car sounds like to 6000 rpm, quality of vid not too good

on the street

Congrats, your a tool :blink:

EDIT: Incriminating 'hooligan' link modified...

Thx

i don't think it's the intercooler piping as it comes on boost as normal and i don't think it's the splitfires because every now and then even on 14psi it revs out but just feels like crap.

but i am going to try that boost leak thing, it looks interesting.

but all indications make me think that it's a blocked CAT.

Ok guys here's an update

I checked the cat all is good i checked the BOV and the same problem is occuring

i disconnected the Boost controller and it's just boosting up to .7 bar and it's fine but it was alway's like that only when i put it onto high boost does it stutter. any ideas???

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
