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.

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
