Hey guys I am constantly getting R&R in my car car feels sluggish and wont boost over .6bar, the only mods I have are Exhaust and the boost restrictor removed running around 14psi. It seems to happen infrequently and I cant seem to Identify exactly when its occurring. I don't boot the car around alot and it can happen even when I am cruising hardly using the right foot. I had the car on the dyno and revealed no leaning problems, They also checked codes and no fault codes were found.

From my understanding it will run in R&R mode if the AFM max out or if there is knock. Where can I start in identifying my problem as its not occurring on the dyno??? So possibly fuel issue, AFM gone.

I have a power fc going in soon hopefully and later a set of -7's. I was thinking about plugging in the FC to see what knock levels I was getting but Am really worried about causing damage and want to get it tuned first. Also I can view the AFM values on hand controller to help too?

I would really love to get this sorted before it goes in to get tuned, where should I start?????????????

a few of us are having a similar issue

i tried swapping boost solenoids, which didnt make any differance for me. I'll probs just get a power-fc as that seems to fix the problem.

Yeah I have Power fc (not installed yet) but my delema is to get it tuned after turbo install (once) or tune before turbos and install turbos at the end of the year (twice). Trying to get price for inital tune spose $600 then retune after turbos $??????? I will be happy to spend another 2-$300 if retune but if its another $600 then I may as well wait. I thought the stock AFM would handel the power easily I had it on 4wd dyno and 192awkw, AFM must not crap themselves at this power level.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
