Make sure your neutral switch is working correctly and have you tried resetting the ecu? Once you have done a base reset, then take the car for a spirited run and get it to relearn all its base settings again. You may notice an improvement in fuel economy at the same time.

silly question but how do i clean the afm? its not the pod rite? sori man, i duno much bout mechs

AFM is that black box that the pod usually screws too. it has an electrical plug coming off it.

unscrew your pod filter, and disconnect the AFM from plug. then unscrew the hose clamp clamping the AFM to the flexible intake pipe.

pull out the AFM. Now spray it with CO Contact Cleaner bought from dick smith. try and clean out the inside as well with a rag as best u can. but i dont think u should go touching the elements too much (i very carefully just like dabbed mine with a cloth to get a bit of the oil off the white strip one, but upto you). best just to spray quite a bit with co contact then leave to sit in the sun to dry it up.

now just put it back together.

....this may be whats causing stall....but i'd put my money on ur non stock BOV

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
