Unknown Ignition Cut/tuning Trouble

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in the process of tuning my car and am having trouble getting past 5500rpm. Or to be a little more precise, it won't go past 5500rpm.

Mod list:

Rb25det running on rb20 harness

Greddy Intake manifold

Q45 throttle body + rb25 tps

Greddy top feed 10.5mm fuel rail

GTR injectors with resistor pack

HKS 2535 Turbo (10psi internal wastegate)

Turbo back 3 inch exhaust

FMIC

Greddy Emanage Ultimate

Nimso AFPR

Sard r2d2 atmospheric bov

Bee-r rev limiter

So in any gear, any throttle position as soon as I hit 5500rpm, the car hits what feels like an ignition cut. (Feels like the factory speed limiter.) Its runs flawlessly before it reaches that figure. According to the logger, the ignition isn't breaking up and the air fuel ratio is fine.

Its not a boost leak, nor a coilpack problem, the maf seems fine its reading up to 5 volts so I don't see anything out of the ordinary there.

The guy that is tuning my car has a lot of experience with the emanage ultimate, he went on various courses to learn how to tune it so I think he is not at fault.

Checked for codes before and pulled up a 55, no malfunction.

If anyone has any ideas what could be going on I'd appriciate your input.

Thanks in advance,

Jay

get rid of the BeeR limiter, the above picture is a result of using one of these limiters. it was in a week.

Rb20det_pinout.txt

i dont have a pinout for the rb25 handy, however if you do find one compare the numbers and description for the both,

you may want to check the tps and afm using different pins on the ecu's,

pluging the 20det loom into a an ecu designed and programed for a rb25 for example will missmatch these pins.

but 10 bucks says its the limiter.

I have similar problem. I have R33 gtst auto with electronic boost control, 11 psi, std turbo. Sometimes boost spikes ( for whatever reason) past 16 psi and wham! power cut, then ok again. Could be cold air, i have voltage bender to lower afm voltage so it does not max out. Still happens, i reckon voltage bender needs gentle signal increase. If its a sudden spike from say 0.5v to 5.5, its too fast for processor. This is all i can think of coz it's pissing me off to tell the truth.

I removed the bee-r rev limitter so its not that, checked the tps doesn't appear to be that. Also retarded the timing a bit and that didn't help.

I'm going to wire in my z32 maf after work tomorrow and I'll let you guys know what I come up with. I wish I'd have bought an fcon, thats all I'm going to say.

yeah, i was lucky enough to get my hands on a HKS Fcon pro V fuel/ignition system there brilliant,

every dynamic can be tuned at every 100 rpm interval, then it can self learn after that.

thats cause the factory ecu's boost cut a 16 psi.

Dude! I always suspected that, thank you so much for confirming that. I am not being sarcastic, just glad that the problem is diagnosed and not in the realm of the unknown anymore.

Happy times!

There is no boost cut, it would need a map sensor for boost cut. There is an excess airflow cut, which is a different boost for different turbos/modifications.

Impressive :P

How have you theorized that the spark cut bent that rod though??

... Not being a cock, just thoroughly interested.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
